QuestionHow should I assess a supplier’s minimum order quantity?

The next practical question

Short answer

Ask whether the minimum applies to a model, material, colour, packaging variant or total order. Request separate conditions for samples and repeat production, then compare them against your actual requirement. A combined total can hide different limits for each variant.

Practical steps

  1. Write the required quantity for each variant.
  2. Ask which cost or production condition explains the stated minimum.

Important limitations

MOQ is a condition to discuss with the particular supplier; this guide does not establish a standard minimum or a price.

How can I compare Asian suppliers on the same basis?

Define one product specification and ask each candidate to respond to the same questions about materials, production scope, samples and quotation conditions. Record which statements are supported and which remain unconfirmed. Compare the proposed scope before treating price as decisive.

How should I prepare a sourcing enquiry for Asia?

Start with the intended use, product variant, quantity and information needed to assess a sample. Separate a trial request from a recurring supply plan and describe which details are still open. Send the same clear request to relevant candidates so their replies can be compared.

How should I clarify delivery regions and logistics with a supplier?
