The price range spans from USD 573 to USD 723, with the median at the upper end, suggesting that quality, freshness, or origin may influence pricing significantly.

CIF is the most commonly used trade term for Frozen Sardine Fish, appearing in 61.9% of supplier listings on Freshdi. While it is the prevailing term, buyers must confirm whether each supplier actually offers CIF or if they use a different term like FOB, as this directly affects cost and responsibility for shipping and insurance.

This method is typically chosen for its speed and ease of transaction, especially for smaller or urgent orders. However, buyers should verify the exact payment term with each supplier, as not all may accept MoneyGram, and alternatives may be available depending on volume or relationship.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Frozen Sardine Fish listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 26 October 2026 - 823 active listings, 82 buyer requests, 14 source documents, and 94 supply observations from the same 365-day window. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Frozen Sardine Fish type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Frozen Sardine Fish, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
