With a common MOQ of 200 MT, buyers must commit to substantial volumes, making it essential to secure long-term partnerships early. The wide reference price range of 800–9,600 / MT — driven by origin and quality — means pricing is highly variable and negotiation-intensive, so buyers must vet suppliers based on proven value, not just cost. Combined with flexible trade terms like CIF and FCA, buyers can tailor logistics to their needs, but this flexibility comes with the need for strong due diligence to avoid hidden costs or delivery risks.
