Minimum order quantity (MOQ)

The real MOQ ladder — samples 50–100 kg, private-label ~100 kg/variant, blends ~300 kg, up to a 20ft FCL.

MOQ is trade practice, not statute. A workable ladder: samples 50–100 kg; single-spice private label ~100 kg per variant; standard blends ~300 kg; custom blends ~500 kg; sea LCL 1–5 MT; and a full 20ft container (FCL) as the typical bulk unit. Air freight is used from ~100 kg for high-value cardamom and saffron.

The order-size ladder, sample to container

From a 50 kg sample to a full container is two orders of magnitude. Bars are on a log scale so every rung is legible — MOQ is trade practice, not a YouPals-quoted minimum.
