A Fragmented Market. A Focused Strategy.

A COA is a third-party laboratory report confirming that a product batch meets specified quality and safety parameters. For Chinese importers, a COA is a mandatory document at customs clearance. It must be issued by an accredited laboratory (such as SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Intertek) from a sample of the actual production batch — it cannot be carried over or transferred from a different supplier's batch or a previous shipment.

India is one of the largest peanut oil exporters globally and a significant supplier to China. However, Indian peanut oil has faced serious food safety challenges: it has been repeatedly flagged by the European Union for aflatoxin contamination exceeding permissible limits, and was banned by Indonesia on food safety grounds. These incidents reflect systemic challenges in supply chain traceability and quality consistency.

Brazil, by contrast, operates under MAPA phytosanitary oversight with farm-level traceability and strict aflatoxin control. Brazilian peanuts — particularly from the São Paulo State corridor — typically carry higher oleic acid content, longer shelf life, and a cleaner flavor profile, which are valued in both food processing and branded consumer applications.

Argentina is another notable origin, but its peanut oil supply is closely tied to domestic soybean oil production cycles and is less consistent in volume. Senegal and other West African origins exist but lack the traceability infrastructure and scale that Chinese buyers increasingly require.

The HS code for crude peanut oil is 1508.10.00. Refined peanut oil falls under 1508.90.00. Chinese customs duties, VAT treatment, and GACC import licensing requirements differ between these two classifications.

Yes. Under GACC Decree 248 and Announcement No. 219, all foreign food manufacturers and exporters — including edible oil producers — must be registered in CIFER (China's Import Food Enterprise Registration system) before their first shipment arrives. Processing and pressing facilities must additionally obtain facility registration under Decree 249. Eutopio assists its supply partners in navigating this registration process.

Trial orders: 5 to 10 containers (approximately 22–24 MT net per container). Commercial orders: 10 to 50 containers per shipment. Volume commitments beyond this range can be discussed through a forward contract arrangement.

[To be confirmed by finance team.] Standard international commodity trade terms: Letter of Credit (LC at sight), Telegraphic Transfer (TT) with deposit advance. Additional structures available for qualified long-term partners.

Yes. Eutopio is building RMB settlement infrastructure through its Pontix partnership, aligned with the BRL 157 billion Brazil–China local currency swap agreement signed in May 2025. Direct RMB settlement is available for qualified buyers through our partner financial institutions operating under CIPS. We believe we are the only trader currently offering RMB settlement specifically in the peanut oil trade corridor — a capability that eliminates USD conversion costs and simplifies your import accounting.

All Eutopio-originated products undergo: third-party COA testing (SGS or equivalent), MAPA phytosanitary certification, aflatoxin screening to GB 2761-2017 limits, and full supply chain traceability via the Verix platform. Additional certifications (halal, organic, non-GMO) are available upon request depending on origination partner capacity.
