    Lead Time, MOQs and Peak-Season Strategy

    Lead Time, MOQs and Peak-Season Strategy

    Every seaweed program has a different combination of format, pack count, label language, destination and production window. SINFO confirms MOQ, sample timing, production lead time, payment terms and Incoterms against the approved SKU and current capacity plan. For peak seasons, share your launch window and rolling forecast early. The China plant can then review raw-material allocation, packaging readiness, line sequencing, inspection capacity and dispatch windows before the order is released.
