Only 4 suppliers are currently offering Long Arm Octopus, and none have updated their listings in the past 90 days. This means the supply is static and likely outdated — buyers should treat each supplier as a one-time opportunity rather than a long-term option, and act quickly to secure availability. There are just 6 listings live for Long Arm Octopus, which is a small catalog with limited variation in size, packaging, or origin. A buyer looking for a specific detail is unlikely to find it pre-listed and will need to reach out directly to suppliers for customization. India supplies half of the exporters in this category, with the remaining two countries making up the rest. While India dominates, the presence of two other countries offers a small degree of flexibility for buyers who want to explore alternative origins or mitigate risks tied to India’s supply chain.

Can these suppliers be trusted?
4 of the 4 suppliers are verified, so the badge is worth checking before contacting anyone. 2 of 4 list a certificate, and HACCP is the most held, by 1 of them. For a shipment that needs HACCP compliance, filtering for HACCP narrows the list to suppliers who hold it. For anything else, ask each shortlisted supplier for the certificate up front.

Trade terms and how to compare quotations
A reference for every category: what the usual trade and payment terms mean, and the points to check when you compare quotations.
| Term | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EXW | Incoterm | The buyer collects the goods at the seller's premises and pays every cost from there. |
| FCA | Incoterm | The seller hands the goods, cleared for export, to the buyer's carrier at a named place. |
| FOB | Incoterm | The seller loads the goods on the vessel at the port of loading; freight is the buyer's. |
| CFR | Incoterm | The seller pays sea freight to the destination port; the risk passes once loaded. |
| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |
| DDP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to the buyer's place and pays import duties and taxes too. |

Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| 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.
