Delivery & Shipping — Timelines, Logistics & Market Coverage
For B2B buyers, an order is not complete when production finishes. In fact, it is only complete once the container clears customs and the product arrives in sellable condition. Therefore, this page covers delivery timelines, MOQ tiers, shipping methods, and the export documents that accompany every shipment across all five product categories.
Moreover, we ship Organic Matcha Powder, Ceremonial Matcha, Matcha Latte Powder, Culinary Matcha, and Hojicha Powder to buyers in the USA, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and Southeast Asia. As a result, every shipment includes a documentation package designed to reduce customs delays.

Export Logistics Options
In addition, we coordinate three shipping methods depending on product grade and volume:

- Sea freight — Suitable for large-volume Culinary grade shipments; however, it requires reinforced moisture and temperature protection.
- Express courier — For sample and small-batch orders.
