Trade FAQ
Operational questions, answered before you ask.
What are the minimum order quantities and payment terms?
Restaurant supply begins at 24 mixed units. Importer and gourmet retail programs begin at a half-pallet (six cartons) per SKU. Private-label minimum is 1,200 units per SKU, locked at harvest. Standard terms are 50% on order confirmation, 50% on shipment, with 30-day net available to vetted accounts in good standing after the third successful order.
How does your sample and pricing-request policy work?
We ship a complimentary six-SKU sample box to qualified buyers within the EU, US, and Japan; freight is reimbursed on your first paid PO. For trade pricing, submit an application and our export team responds with a tiered price list within three business days.
Which DOP and EU Organic documentation ships with each order?
Every DOP-certified SKU arrives with a Consorzio certificate of conformity, batch-specific laboratory analysis (peroxide value, K232, K270, waxes), EU Organic or Bio certification where applicable, and a signed origin declaration. The complete dossier is available as a PDF and printed copy on request.
What are the realistic lead times for first orders?
From a confirmed trade application: seven days for sample dispatch, two weeks for first stock order to EU and US destinations, three to four weeks for APAC and Gulf destinations. Private-label programs run 60–90 days to allow co-packing scheduling and label review.
