How does Nigerian shea butter physically reach Osaka?

Containers are billed to Osaka. Osaka buyers arrange the inland haul from that terminal unless the quote names a delivered Incoterm. EMI Agro does not operate a warehouse in Osaka.

Who in Osaka typically buys bulk shea butter?

Kansai cosmetics and food manufacturing hub. The country supplier page holds pack and documentation questions; this page is the Osaka delivery picture.

Can EMI Agro deliver a sample to Osaka before a container?

Sample size and the route into Osaka are confirmed on the quote. A sample does not replace the MHLW filings the Japan importer still makes on a commercial shipment.

Nigerian shea butter for Japan

Japan does not grow shea as a commercial crop. Drums arriving at Tokyo are West African origin — a Japan formulator is buying an imported fat, not a domestic oilseed. MHLW and a Japanese Marketing Authorisation Holder sit on finished cosmetics; NACCS clears Tokyo, Yokohama or Osaka boxes. Buyers also search シアバター. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Tokyo is the usual discharge.

Ask for a batch COA on a NIS 571:2013 basis: free fatty acid, peroxide value, moisture, colour and melting point. Reject lots that smell sharply rancid or pour like liquid oil at room temperature. MHLW filings sit with the Japan importer — they do not replace a COA.

Trial lots start at 5 tonnes; standard orders start at 20 tonnes. Send the request even if you need less — EMI Agro reviews every Japan enquiry against current production of 40 tonnes per week of finished shea butter and can schedule rolling shipments. Lead time is Ibadan production plus ocean time to Tokyo. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.
