Specify the acceptable percentage of intact buds and limits for broken material.

Step 2: Submit Your Purchase Quantity

Provide the initial order quantity and expected repeat volume.

Step 3: Request a Sample

Step 6: Arrange Shipment

Sample Request and Approval

Samples should be identified with the proposed supplier and lot where possible.

Buyers should compare the sample against written specifications rather than relying only on photographs.

Where relevant, retain a sealed reference sample for later comparison.
