First US import path for paprika and chili powder
First US import of Chinese paprika or chili powder works best when sample, docs, and packing are decided before the broker conversation heats up.
What to lock before the broker call
We keep factory language simple so your broker gets numbers, not adjectives. Certifications are only those the lot supports — we do not invent them.
Packing formats for early US trials
25 kg-style food-grade bags are a common trial format — confirm the exact pack you want in the RFQ rather than assuming.
First trial
- Smaller bag count
- Extra retain split
- Faster lab loop
Repeat PO
- Same pack as trial
- Same mesh/steam
- Same CoA fields
Factory process behind the first PO
Process reminder: the powder still follows clean → steam (if needed) → grind → sieve → pack → CoA. Import does not change the mill.
