Frequently asked questions
Can any country export sesame to China?
No. Only origins with an agreed phytosanitary protocol can ship sesame to China, and the exporter must be registered with GACC.
What do Chinese sesame buyers check first?
Price, purity, oil content and whether your company is registered and able to ship on time.
Should I go through a trader?
