Which tariff line does a Chile importer declare for bulk shea butter?

Start from HS heading 1515.90. Chile extends that heading to the national line recorded on this page (national tariff heading 1515.90). The importer, not the exporter's six-digit invoice code, confirms the full statistical number on the Chile tariff for the entry date.

Does ISP make a Nigerian factory register before selling shea butter into Chile?

ISP rules apply to the Chile responsible person or importer for finished cosmetics or food, as this guide states. A factory that only supplies bulk drums should not assume it must open a local portal account. Finished-product notification stays with the buyer in Chile.

Which documents travel with a Lagos container bound for San Antonio?

EMI Agro issues the commercial invoice, packing list and a Certificate of Analysis per batch. The carrier issues the bill of lading. Nigerian export files (certificate of origin and Form NXP) travel with the shipment. Chile import filings — the customs declaration and any ISP notice — are the buyer's.

How long does a typical West Africa service take from Lagos to San Antonio?

Ocean time to San Antonio is shown on this page as a typical West Africa container range, not a booked schedule. Confirm the live ETD/ETA on the carrier tool when you book. Inland time from San Antonio to a warehouse in Chile is extra.

Nigerian shea butter for Chile

Shea trees do not grow as a commercial crop in Chile; the fat is imported. West African Vitellaria paradoxa is the botanical source. San Antonio and Valparaíso serve Santiago; ISP is the sanitary authority. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. San Antonio 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. ISP filings sit with the Chile 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 Chile 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 San Antonio. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.

Recommended specifications for body butter and lotion

Recommended specification for unrefined grade a shea butter in body butter and lotion — parameters to write into a purchase specification on a NIS 571:2013 basis. EMI contractual targets are available on request; batch values sit on each COA.
Parameter	Target for body butter and lotion	Why it matters	Test method
Slip melting point	Available on request	Defines the whipping window and the set of an anhydrous butter; batch drift of a few degrees changes texture noticeably.	AOCS Cc 3-25
Iodine value	Available on request	Low unsaturation means slower oxidation — the headroom a 60–80 % shea product needs to reach month 18.	AOCS Cd 1-25 / Other Wijs
Peroxide value (PV)	Available on request	The starting point of the oxidation clock; high peroxide value shortens the finished product's stability window.	AOCS Cd 8-53
Free fatty acid (FFA)	Available on request	Free acids raise rancid odour and can drift the pH of an oil-in-water emulsion over shelf life.	AOCS Ca 5a-40 / ISO 660
Moisture and volatiles	Available on request	Anhydrous whipped butters carry no preservative; water in the fat is a microbial and hydrolysis risk.	AOCS Ca 2b-38 / ISO 662
Unsaponifiable matter	Available on request	Basis for raw-shea positioning; retained in unrefined material.	AOCS Ca 6a-40
Colour	Available on request	Sets the shade of a whipped butter; a band keeps batches consistent on shelf.	AOCS Cc 13e-92
