Dried Chili sample: how much should we pay and what should it prove?

admin

A supplier quoted us a sample of Dried Chili for Xinjiang / Henan. What is a normal sample cost, and what should the sample prove beyond appearance?

Sample cost is usually 30-60 USD including courier. It should prove ASTA 60-120, 10-12% moisture and come with the lot-level document: aflatoxin, phytosanitary. A sample without a lot code proves nothing.
