Start with an appearance and odor check
Before comparing price, importers should confirm whether the herb matches the expected color, shape, cut size, aroma and overall cleanliness. An appearance and odor check is especially important for flowers, leaves, roots and sliced materials where visual grade affects the buyer's market positioning.
Confirm moisture and foreign matter expectations
Bulk botanical raw materials should be discussed with clear moisture and foreign matter expectations. Buyers can ask for current photos, sample notes, packing condition and whether third-party testing is needed before shipment. Requirements may vary by product and destination country.
Use an approved sample reference
After sample approval, keep an approved sample reference and written specification for the bulk order. The reference should include product name, form, grade, package size, inspection points and any document requirements so both sides can compare the shipped lot against the agreed standard.
Connect inspection with documents and compliance
Inspection planning should be connected with COA, third-party lab testing, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, commercial invoice and packing list needs. Product use and labeling are subject to local regulations, so buyers should confirm requirements with their importer, broker or compliance team before ordering.
