Q: What is the standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for bulk cassia cinnamon sticks?

Standard commercial MOQs typically start at 1 Metric Ton (LCL) for trial orders, while optimal freight pricing and FCL contracts generally require a minimum of one 20ft container (approx. 7.5 to 9.5 MT for whole sticks).

Q: Can your matched exporters supply Certificate of Analysis (COA) for coumarin and pesticide residues?

Yes. Every commercial exporter on our platform provides batch-specific COAs from ISO 17025 accredited laboratories covering coumarin levels, organochlorine/organophosphate pesticide MRLs, heavy metals (Pb, Cd, As, Hg), and microbiological parameters.

Q: What sterilization methods are available for US and EU shipments?

Exporters in our network offer both Steam Sterilization (ETO-free, mandatory for EU compliance) and Gamma Irradiation based on the buyer's processing and regulatory requirements.

Q: How are bulk cassia cinnamon sticks packaged to prevent transit damage and moisture absorption?

Sticks are typically bundled, wrapped, and packed into heavy-duty 25kg or 50kg corrugated cartons or multi-wall poly-lined kraft bags, secured with desiccants to maintain moisture below 12% throughout ocean transit.

Q: What standard payment terms do direct Indian spice suppliers accept?

Standard industrial payment terms include Irrevocable Letter of Credit at Sight (Confirmed L/C) or Telegraphic Transfer (T/T with 30% advance deposit and 70% against clean shipping documents / Bill of Lading copy).
