Freshdi Dried Squid suppliers come from 4 countries, led by Vietnam at 40.0%, as of 16 November 2026.
Only 5 suppliers are currently active in the Dried Squid category, and just one of them updated a listing in the last 30 days — though three have refreshed content in the past 90 days. This suggests a stable but slow-moving supply base, meaning buyers should expect to engage directly with each supplier and may need to follow up to confirm current availability or pricing. There are only 5 active listings for Dried Squid, which means the product range is narrow and highly specific. A buyer looking for a particular size, drying method, or packaging will likely need to reach out directly, as there’s little room for variation already listed. Suppliers come from 4 different countries, with Vietnam providing 40.0% of the supply. This gives buyers a small but meaningful geographic spread — Vietnam is a strong starting point, but the presence of suppliers from other nations offers flexibility if sourcing from Vietnam becomes constrained by logistics or regulations.

| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
