Who this is for
Bulk buyer profiles
Bulk sourcing is a different relationship from private label. Bulk customers know what they need, have their own bottling and labelling, and buy for further manufacture or wholesale redistribution.
- Contract manufacturers and formulators integrating Moroccan ingredients into their own ranges, on a monthly or quarterly cadence.
- Established beauty and wellness brands with internal formulation and bottling capability, buying ingredients as raw input across a year-long supply relationship.
- Distributors and wholesalers in the EU, UK, North America, Gulf, and Asia-Pacific selling onward to formulators and indie brands.
- Spa, hotel, and wellness operators buying rose water, argan oil, and ghassoul for hammam, treatment, and amenity programmes across multiple properties.
- Specialty food and culinary importers handling Moroccan culinary ingredients for restaurants, hotels, and grocers.
How it works
The bulk sourcing process
- 1
Stage 1 · ~1 week
Specification
Discovery call. You confirm the ingredient, grade, volume, certification requirements, packaging format, destination, and target delivery date. We confirm whether we can source it within your budget and timeline.
- 2
Stage 2 · 1–2 weeks
Sourcing & sampling
We source from our vetted Moroccan network depending on grade and volume. Samples ship to your address for evaluation. One sample round is included; additional sampling is at cost.
- 3
Stage 3 · concurrent
Quotation & PO
Once samples are approved, we issue a single fixed quotation: total cost, target delivery date, payment milestones, and Incoterm. You issue the PO and 50% deposit.
- 4
Stage 4 · 2–4 weeks
Production & QC
The production order is placed. We monitor the cycle and run independent QC where the engagement value justifies it — typically a fatty-acid profile for oils or a microbiological screen for clay and rose water.
- 5
Stage 5 · 1–2 weeks
Packaging, documentation, freight
Goods are packaged into your specified format. EUR1 for EU destinations or a standard certificate of origin elsewhere, commercial invoice, packing list, COA, and MSDS. The freight forwarder is booked by sea, air, or express.
- 6
Stage 6 · transit-dependent
Delivery & settlement
Sea freight runs 7–14 days to UK/EU ports, 18–28 days to the Gulf, and 25–35 days to North America; air freight is 3–5 days globally. The balance is invoiced on dispatch and due before goods clear customs at destination.
The deliverable
What arrives at your warehouse
Goods arrive in your specified format — cans, drums, IBCs, or food-grade sacks — each container labelled with product name, batch and lot number, harvest or production date, fill weight, source identifier, and COA reference, tamper-sealed, palletised, and shrink-wrapped. Every shipment lands with the documentation a serious buyer expects:
- Certificate of Analysis per batch, signed by our QC officer with ONSSA licence number.
- Material Safety Data Sheet for the ingredient.
- EUR1 certificate of origin for EU shipments; standard certificate of origin for non-EU destinations.
- Commercial invoice and packing list in your specified currency.
- Moroccan customs declaration (DUM / single administrative document).
- Organic and fair-trade certification copies where applicable, with batch correspondence.
- Bill of lading or airway bill from the freight forwarder.
- A lot traceability record linking the source to the specific drums you receive.
Commercial terms
The Incoterms we operate
We work across all major Incoterms. The right choice depends on your shipping experience, destination, and how much of the freight and customs work you want to handle internally. Most first-time buyers start with CIF for sea or DAP for express.
| Incoterm | What it covers | Who arranges freight | Risk transfers at |
|---|---|---|---|
| FCA | Goods handed to your nominated carrier at our Casablanca warehouse, cleared for export | Buyer | Named place of delivery (origin) |
| FOB | Goods loaded onto your nominated vessel at Casablanca port | Buyer | On board the vessel |
| CIF / CIP | Carriage and insurance paid to your destination port (CIF) or address (CIP) | Redstone | On board / handed to the first carrier |
| DAP / DDP | Delivered to your premises; DDP also includes destination import duties | Redstone | At your named destination |
Pricing
A single fixed quotation
Bulk shipments are quoted individually, because raw-ingredient prices move with harvest, season, and certification scope. Each quotation is a single fixed price covering production, packaging, documentation, and our coordination — no hidden line items, no end-of-shipment adjustments.
Typical first shipments run between €4,000 and €35,000 depending on ingredient, volume, certification, and packaging. Repeat supply contracts are quoted on annual or quarterly volume and scale efficiently. Quotations remain valid for 14 days; within that window, what we quote is what you pay.
Invoicing is in EUR, USD, or GBP. Payment is 50% deposit on PO signature and 50% before goods leave Morocco; credit terms are available for repeat customers from the third shipment onward.
What’s in scope
- Sourcing and shipping raw bulk ingredients to your warehouse, including production coordination and QC.
- Packaging, certification documentation, and Moroccan customs export paperwork.
- Freight booking under the agreed Incoterm, with one invoice in your preferred currency.
Outside our scope
- Bottling, labelling, or finishing the product — for retail-ready product, our Private Label service is the correct offering.
- Cosmetic notification and Responsible Person services — bulk raw ingredients sold B2B for further manufacture do not typically require finished-cosmetic notification. We supply the technical data your team needs.
- Importer of record at destination — you (or your nominated agent) act as importer and handle destination clearance, duties, and VAT.
- Holding open inventory at risk — goods are sourced against confirmed orders; we do not speculate on harvest pricing.
Why Redstone
Why work with us
- Single point of accountability. Instead of coordinating French- and Arabic-speaking teams, your own freight, customs at both ends, and certification chasing, you sign one PO, receive one invoice in your currency, and take delivery at your warehouse.
- International-fluent operation. English-language contracts, multi-currency invoicing, and familiarity with cosmetic and food-grade ingredient flows across the EU, UK, GCC, North America, and Asia-Pacific.
- Verified supply. Every shipment is sourced from suppliers we have physically vetted, with certifications checked against the issuing registry. Independent lab verification is available as a standard add-on on larger engagements.
- Transparent pricing. A single fixed price for the agreed Incoterm, with no fees added after the engagement begins.
- Discretion. We do not list our customer book and do not introduce one customer to another.

Frequently asked
Common questions
What does a first bulk shipment typically cost?

What are your minimum order quantities?
MOQs depend on the ingredient, grade, and packaging format — from 1L and 5L containers for high-value oils up to 200L drums and IBCs. We confirm the workable minimum for your ingredient on the discovery call.
What documentation arrives with each shipment?
A signed Certificate of Analysis per batch, MSDS, EUR1 or certificate of origin, commercial invoice and packing list, Moroccan customs declaration, certification copies where applicable, the bill of lading or airway bill, and a lot traceability record.
What are your payment terms?
50% deposit on PO signature and 50% before goods leave Morocco; goods ship once the balance clears. Credit terms are available for repeat customers from the third shipment onward. Invoicing is in EUR, USD, or GBP.
What lead times should I expect?
Production and QC run roughly 2–4 weeks. Sea freight is then 7–14 days to UK/EU ports, 18–28 days to the Gulf, and 25–35 days to North America; air freight is 3–5 days globally.
Which markets do you ship to?
The UK, EU member states, the GCC, North America, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. We know which Incoterms and documentation each market expects.
What happens if goods arrive off-specification?
Where goods materially fail the agreed specification — a fatty-acid profile outside Moroccan norms, contamination on retest, or freight damage — we coordinate a replacement shipment, partial credit, or credit on the next order. The process is set out in our standard terms, shared before any PO is signed.
