How is this valerian root oil shipped — what logistics options are there?
Every order size has a matching logistics option, from a single sample bottle to full containers. Because valerian oil is not a flammable-liquids cargo, all lanes are simple and DG-surcharge-free in most cases.
Shipping Options
| Mode | Volume | Typical transit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Courier (DHL/FedEx/UPS/TNT) | Samples, up to ~25 kg | 3–7 days | Door-to-door, no DG restrictions |
| Air freight | 25 kg–1 MT | 5–10 days | Fast for mid volumes |
| Sea freight LCL | 1–5 CBM | 20–40 days | Shared container; economical |
| Sea freight FCL | 1–5 MT+ | 25–45 days | Full container; best for regular supply |
| Rail (Eurasia) | Full container | 20–30 days | Central Asia / Europe land routes |

- We arrange export packing, booking and documentation; a dedicated forwarder partner handles each lane
- Transit times are indicative from loading port; add customs and inland time at destination
- Insurance: CIF includes marine insurance; FOB/EXW buyers can arrange their own cover
