How to read the units: kg means the weight of the bulk, not finished pieces — ask "how many bottles" and we convert by formula density. Units mean finished pieces, counted per SKU. The two units follow how the item is priced; they are not arbitrary.
Where it says “quoted per category”: formulas and packs within one category vary too much for a single figure to be honest, so those are itemised in the quotation instead.

What MOQ is counted in: kilos or units

Ask "what is 2,000 units in kilos" and we do not quote a fixed factor — density differs with fragrance concentration, so we work it out from your bottle size and fill. The same applies in reverse.

Sampling: up to 3 rounds free, shipping is yours 3

Free does not mean unlimited. Three rounds is the ceiling and round four is charged per project — saying that at the start beats raising it at round five.

The clock starts on the day the formula and bottle are confirmed, not the day you send the enquiry. Until those two are settled there is nothing to count from.

Can MOQ go lower

The floor is set by the equipment, not by negotiation. Of the five emulsifying tanks in the plant the smallest is a 100 L vacuum tank — the 50 kg band sits at that scale. Below it there is no smaller tank that will discharge reliably, so 50 kg is not a threshold you can talk your way past.

What you can do is split it. 30 ml and 50 ml are two separate SKUs, so start with one size and add the other once it sells — you enter at a single-SKU threshold rather than two at once.

There is also a stock bottle library. Choosing from it avoids tooling, which is the real upfront cost. Pumps and cartons are quoted separately.

If all three still leave a gap, the order is out of reach — the thresholds we apply are set out under what we turn down.

Which version prevails when the numbers differ

The 18 figures here come from the same source as the category pages, in the same units. The printed factory catalogue is a Vietnamese/English facing edition and a few clauses read differently between the two — where they conflict, the quotation prevails over the printed sheet.

Every quotation states four things: MOQ, unit of pricing, whether packaging is included, and the port of loading (FOB Cat Lai, Ho Chi Minh City). Without those four, prices are not comparable.

The conversion method and the three ways down when volume falls short are written up in one note: working out cosmetics OEM MOQ. The words themselves — MOQ, sampling, bulk — are defined one by one in the glossary.

MOQ and sampling FAQ 4 Q&A

Why is MOQ counted in kilos rather than pieces?
Bulk is what actually gets scheduled; the emulsifying tanks are charged by weight, so the threshold is set on bulk. Packing is a later step and does not change the minimum batch.
Are samples really free?
Sampling is free for up to 3 rounds. International shipping outside Vietnam is at the client’s cost. From round four it is charged per project.
How long does sampling take?
Stock samples ship in 3–7 days; custom samples take 7–10 working days from formula and bottle confirmation.
How many kilos is 2,000 units of fragrance?
It depends on formula density, so we convert from your bottle size and fill rather than quoting a fixed factor.
Send the category, the fill size and the quantity you have in mind.
Three lines, and the first reply can answer you
  1. CategoryWhich category, or simply "like that product of yours" — more useful than a formula name
  2. VolumeRoughly how many units or kilograms, per SKU
  3. MarketThe destination decides access and labelling — one formula going to the EU and to the US is not one set of documents

You get three answers back: whether it is feasible, the MOQ, and how sampling works. If it does not fit our lines, we say so in the first email instead of the third meeting.
