What is the production lead time for this valerian root oil?
Lead times are short for stock orders and longer for harvest-bound or custom batches. The table below is the realistic guide we work to.
Lead Time Guide
| Order type | Lead time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sample (100 g–1 kg) | 2–3 days dispatch | From retained stock, with COA/GC-MS |
| Standard batch (25–180 kg) | 10–20 days | From retained stock or short production run |
| Fresh autumn-harvest batch | 30–45 days after harvest window | Depends on drying + distillation schedule |
| CO₂ Zhi Zhu Xiang batch | 20–30 days | Dedicated CO₂ line, premium grade |
| OEM / custom packaging | +7–15 days | Label design, special bottles, certification extras |
| Organic/certified batch | +30–60 days | Certification audit + dedicated sourcing |
What Affects Lead Time
- Season: autumn-harvest orders have priority; off-season orders rely on retained stock
- Quantity: large contracts are scheduled; we produce in batches and can split deliveries
- Certification: organic/Halal/Kosher add audit and documentation time
- QC: standard release is within 5 working days after production; allergen/export panels may add 3–5 days
For critical launches, we recommend confirming quantities and the target date early — we will lock the batch and keep you updated with a rolling schedule.
