What is the production lead time for Sichuan pepper oil?
Standard lead time is 15–30 days from deposit, depending on grade and volume: stock grades ship in 3–5 days, SFE-CO2 lots run 15–20 days, and molecular-distilled or certified lots run 20–30 days.
Lead Time by Grade
| Grade / service | Lead time |
|---|---|
| In-stock standard grade | 3 – 5 days |
| SFE-CO2 extraction run | 15 – 20 days |
| Subcritical + molecular distillation | 20 – 25 days |
| Certified lots (organic/halal/kosher) | +1 – 2 weeks |
| Custom packaging / OEM | +1 – 2 weeks |
| Trial/development lots (100–500 g) | 3 – 7 days |
- Lead times are counted from deposit confirmation (ex-works)
- Peak-season (pre-Chinese New Year, Aug–Oct harvest processing) slots fill early — book 2–3 months ahead
- Urgent re-runs can be expedited by arrangement at a small surcharge
