Form: full 42 inch quills, cut sticks (3, 5 or other lengths) and powder are priced separately.
Quality checks: steam sterilisation and a coumarin test can be added and are quoted on request.
Organic: organic lots are quoted separately. Tell us the certification you need.
Quantity and timing: larger lots price lower per kg, and the price on the day you confirm counts.

Samples: a 2 oz (60 g) sample is available to buy online before you order bulk.
Incoterms: we quote FOB Colombo by default. CIF or CFR to your port can be quoted on request.
