Which ports should a Qatar buyer name on the quote?

Name Hamad Port. EMI Agro loads at Apapa and Tin Can Island in Lagos. Inland cities in Qatar are served from those discharge ports, not from a local EMI warehouse.

Which Incoterms does EMI Agro quote for Qatar?

EXW, FOB or CIF, chosen by the Qatar buyer. Each term prices different services beyond the butter — factory gate in Ibadan, Lagos load, or freight and insurance to Hamad Port. There is no published QAR price list per kilogram.

Can a Qatar formulator see a COA before a first container?

A current Certificate of Analysis for the named grade is sent with the quote pack. Trial lots for Qatar start at 5 tonnes and still travel with a batch COA. Every production batch ships with its own COA.

Nigerian shea butter for Qatar

Qatar does not produce shea nuts. Gulf and Levant buyers import the fat as they do other tropical vegetable butters. Hamad Port is the single container door for Doha buyers. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Hamad Port 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. MOPH filings sit with the Qatar 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 Qatar 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 Hamad Port. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.

Bulk industrial shea is usually treated as a raw material, not a finished cosmetic.; customs clearance runs through Qatar applies the GCC Integrated Customs Tariff (12-digit codes on HS 1515.90). The importer confirms the full line on the national tariff system..
