Shea Butter Supplier in Singapore
Unrefined Grade A and refined N-RBD shea butter, manufactured in Ibadan, Nigeria and shipped to Singapore with a COA for every batch.
Summary
Nigerian shea butter for Singapore
Singapore does not grow shea commercially. Bulk shea butter is imported from the West African belt. Shea is not on Singapore's dutiable list; GST and a TradeNet permit are the usual frictions, not a shea duty. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Singapore 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. HSA filings sit with the Singapore 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 Singapore 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 Singapore. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.
Two questions. We show the grade, the documents that usually apply and the next step — we do not invent a price.

Food consignments are declared to Singapore Customs and, where controlled, to SFA.; customs clearance runs through Singapore uses 8-digit Harmonised System (HS) codes under the ASEAN Harmonised Tariff Nomenclature (AHTN). The STCCED 2022 adopts the ASEAN Harmonized Tariff Nomenclature 2022 (AHTN 2022)..
The Regulations are in line with the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive (ACD), which adopts similar regulatory principles and requirements as the European Union (EU) regulations on cosmetic products. Notification: Manufacturers and importers of cosmetic products need to notify their products before supplying them in Singapore. You will then need to submit your cosmetic product notification through PRISM. Each notification is valid for one year. Note: Our acknowledgement of product notification is not an endorsement of the product as we do not evaluate or approve the cosmetic product for supply in Singapore..
MOQ, pricing basis & payment
- MOQ
- Standard orders start at 20 tonnes. Trial lots start at 5 tonnes. Smaller volumes can still be requested — we review every enquiry against current production.
- Pricing basis
- Quoted per Incoterm. EXW, FOB and CIF attract different prices because each term adds different freight, insurance or local services beyond the shea butter itself.
- Samples
- Trial lots start at 5 tonnes of the named grade. Send the request even if you need less — we review whether we can supply.
Quotes for Singapore are built from grade, packaging, Incoterm and port of discharge; tell us those four and we price the lane.
