Shea Butter Supplier in Taiwan
Unrefined Grade A and refined N-RBD shea butter, manufactured in Ibadan, Nigeria and shipped to Kaohsiung with a COA for every batch.
Summary
Nigerian shea butter for Taiwan
Taiwan is a destination market, not a shea-growing region. Drums arriving at Kaohsiung are West African origin. TFDA is not NMPA; Kaohsiung is the named container door for Taipei buyers. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Kaohsiung 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. TFDA filings sit with the Taiwan 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 Taiwan 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 Kaohsiung. 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.

Regulatory & compliance in Taiwan
Shea butter imported into Taiwan is overseen by The Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) regulates cosmetics. Finished cosmetics are notified on the TFDA system.; customs clearance runs through Taiwan Customs applies the Taiwan tariff. Shea butter is declared under heading 1515.90. This is not mainland NMPA/GACC..
TFDA cosmetic notification applies to finished products placed on the Taiwan market, not automatically to a bulk raw-material drum.
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 Taiwan are built from grade, packaging, Incoterm and port of discharge; tell us those four and we price the lane.
