Which ports should a Thailand buyer name on the quote?

Name Laem Chabang, Bangkok. EMI Agro loads at Apapa and Tin Can Island in Lagos. Inland cities in Thailand are served from those discharge ports, not from a local EMI warehouse.

Which Incoterms does EMI Agro quote for Thailand?

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

Can a Thailand 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 Thailand start at 5 tonnes and still travel with a batch COA. Every production batch ships with its own COA.

Supplier by country

Shea Butter Supplier in Thailand

Unrefined Grade A and refined N-RBD shea butter, manufactured in Ibadan, Nigeria and shipped to Laem Chabang and Bangkok with a COA for every batch.

Yes — EMI Agro Industries exports bulk shea butter to Thailand: unrefined Grade A (cold-pressed, wild-collected), refined N-RBD and shea press cake, produced in Ibadan and loaded at Apapa (Lagos) and Tin Can Island (Lagos) for Laem Chabang (32–50 days). Every shipment carries a batch Certificate of Analysis on a NIS 571:2013 basis; 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..

Nigerian shea butter for Thailand

Thailand does not grow shea commercially. Bulk shea butter is imported from the West African belt. Thai FDA notification is for finished cosmetics; Laem Chabang serves Bangkok plants. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Laem Chabang 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. Thai FDA filings sit with the Thailand 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 Thailand 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 Laem Chabang. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.

Regulatory & compliance in Thailand

Shea butter imported into Thailand is overseen by Thai FDA applies ASEAN Cosmetic Directive-style notification for finished cosmetics. Bulk shea butter used as a raw material is not automatically a finished-product notification. and Edible-fat imports follow the national food authority in Thailand. Food-use shea butter is declared as a vegetable fat, not as a finished food.; customs clearance runs through Thailand classifies goods on an 8-digit ASEAN Harmonised Tariff Nomenclature line under heading 1515.90. The importer confirms the national extension on the customs single window..

Finished cosmetics supplied in Thailand are notified to Thai FDA before sale. Notification: Finished-product notification sits with the local importer or brand. Bulk industrial shea is specified on the purchase contract and the COA..

The full procedure — tariff line, registration, documents, transit and clearance — is in our step-by-step guide to importing shea butter into Thailand.

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.
Lead time: Lead time is Ibadan production time plus ocean time to the named port. EMI Agro produces 40 tonnes per week of finished shea butter and can schedule rolling shipments. Exact weeks depend on the quantity on the purchase order.
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 Thailand are built from grade, packaging, Incoterm and port of discharge; tell us those four and we price the lane.
