What Is The Minimum Order Quantity (Moq) for International Buyers?
When sourcing pastry fillings for global distribution, one of the first questions buyers ask is: What Is The Minimum Order Quantity (Moq) for International Buyers? As a professional Chinese pastry filling supplier, we provide flexible solutions to meet the needs of both small-scale importers and large distributors.
Standard MOQ for International Buyers
General MOQ: 500 kg – 1,000 kg per flavor
This quantity is set to ensure production efficiency, stable quality, and cost-effective shipping.
Orders are usually packed in 20 kg food-grade pouches or barrels, suitable for container loading.
Flexible MOQ Options
We understand that not all buyers have the same market scale. Therefore, we offer different options:
Trial Orders / New Market Testing
MOQ: 200–300 kg mixed flavors
Ideal for small distributors, bakeries, or new importers testing demand.
Wholesale Supply for Distributors
MOQ: 500 kg per flavor
Best balance of price and flexibility.
Large-Scale Importers or Brands
MOQ: 1,000 kg – 2,000 kg per flavor
Designed for container shipping and lower cost per unit.
OEM/ODM MOQ for Customized Fillings
For buyers requesting customized OEM/ODM pastry fillings (e.g., low-sugar, vegan, private-label packaging):
MOQ: 1,000 kg per formulation
Custom packaging (retail packs, private label pouches) requires slightly higher MOQ due to printing and packaging line setup.
We provide sample development before mass production to ensure exact taste and texture.
Why MOQ Matters
Production Efficiency – Larger batches ensure consistent quality.
Cost-Effectiveness – Helps maintain competitive factory-direct pricing.
Logistics Optimization – Containerized shipping reduces per-unit freight cost.
Shelf Life Management – MOQ is designed to balance order size with safe storage timelines.
Conclusion
The minimum order quantity (MOQ) for international buyers typically ranges from 500–1,000 kg per flavor, with flexibility for smaller trial orders or larger wholesale shipments. For OEM/ODM custom pastry fillings, the MOQ is usually 1,000 kg per recipe.
