About this product
Đắk Lắk and the Central Highlands make Vietnam the world's largest pepper exporter; harvest runs about February–May, and pepper ships as 500 g/l and 550 g/l FAQ or ASTA-cleaned grades.
Commtora sources black pepper from Đắk Lắk, Vietnam, specified by bulk density (g/l), moisture and ASTA cleanliness, and prices every offer as a landed cost to your port — FOB origin, freight, your market's import duty and fees — against independent customs import statistics (Eurostat Comext for the EU, CIF) as a reference. Terms of payment and documents are agreed per contract.
Grade & quality
500 g/l bulk density, ~12.5% max moisture, machine-cleaned to about 99.5% purity with light berries and dust removed. Optional steam sterilisation for sensitive applications.
Origin — Central Highlands, Vietnam
Sourced from Đắk Lắk and neighbouring provinces, the core of Vietnamese pepper. Each lot is documented to province and harvest season.
Packaging & logistics
Packed in 25 kg PP bags or big bags, about 19 MT per 40ft container. Shipped FOB Ho Chi Minh City or delivered to your port — Rotterdam, New York, Jebel Ali, Singapore or any other. Typical transit 30-40 days.
Why source through COMMTORA
One counterparty instead of a chain of middlemen. Freight and your market's duty priced in, payment terms agreed in the contract, and a delivered price you can plan against — not a spot gamble.
Frequently asked questions
What does 500 GL/L mean?
It is the bulk density — 500 grams per litre. It is the standard workhorse grade; higher numbers (550, 570) are denser, more mature and pricier.
What is the minimum order quantity?
One 40ft container, roughly 19 MT. Larger contracted volumes lower your landed cost per MT.
Which Incoterms are available?
FOB Ho Chi Minh City, or CIF/DDP to your port. Import duty on black pepper is 0% into the EU, the UK and the US; other markets are quoted with the offer.
How is origin documented?
