What are the FOB price tiers for michelia leaf oil?
FOB pricing for michelia leaf oil is volume-tiered: the larger the order, the lower the unit price, because filling, freight-inland and documentation costs are spread over more kilos.
Indicative FOB Price Tiers (per kg, FOB China main port)
| Order size | Packing | Pricing tier |
|---|---|---|
| 100 g - 1 kg (samples) | Bottle / small can | Sample price (highest per kg) |
| 1 - 25 kg | Can / jerry can | Small order tier |
| 25 - 200 kg | Drum / jerry can | Medium tier |
| 200 kg - 1 MT | Drums (180-200 kg each) | Volume tier |
| 1 MT+ / contract | Bulk drums or flexitank | Best tier + price fixing available |
What the Tier Covers
- FOB price includes the oil, standard export packing, COA and basic export documentation
- Sea freight, insurance and import duties are excluded (add CIF/CFR as needed)
- Extra items — private-label packaging, kosher/halal certificates, air freight — are quoted separately
How to Lock the Best Tier
- Combine all your specifications into one annual volume; contract pricing is more favourable than per-order spot pricing
- Ask about split-delivery contracts: one price for the year, shipped in monthly or quarterly batches
- Prices are quoted valid for 7-15 days; for fixed annual pricing we add a small premium to hedge crop risk
- Ask for a current price list — we update it after each harvest campaign
