A documented import route
China’s 2024 import data record 646,458 tonnes of dried peas from the Russian Federation, worth approximately US$221.8 million, under HS 071310. This is historical customs evidence of an established commercial flow, not proof of 2026 available inventory or a guarantee that a particular shipment will clear customs. Market shares and origin preferences can change between purchasing seasons.
Information a Chinese importer should provide
Use the legal name of the importing company, intended customs destination, port or inland terminal, volume in metric tonnes and target arrival period. State whether the peas are for food, feed or ingredient processing, and specify desired test reports. Relevant registration, quarantine and documentary conditions must be checked for the actual exporter and product before an order proceeds.
Compare quotations on a common basis
Do not compare a price at a Russian inland warehouse with a CFR port quotation as though they were equivalent. Ask suppliers to name the place of delivery, currency, Incoterms 2020 rule, shipment method, documents and the validity date of the offer. Container shipments may be better described with FCA/CPT, depending on the handover arrangement.
Buyer verification and next steps
We evaluate submissions for completeness and business relevance before considering an exporter introduction. Provide a corporate email, purchasing role and expected purchase-order window. A suitable match is contingent on verified counterparties, lawful payment channels and current operational feasibility.
Frequently asked questions
Technical and commercial answers below are general sourcing guidance. Actual contracts and current destination rules prevail.
Does 2024 trade data guarantee 2026 supply?
No. It demonstrates a historical trade route only; current stock, registration and shipping availability must be checked.
Should the RFQ include a Chinese port?
Yes. State the named port or terminal and buyer’s preferred delivery basis.
Is Google SEO enough for this market?
No. Chinese-language content and local buyer outreach should be tested separately from English-language Google traffic.
