What Distributors Should Ask Before Importing Lion's Mane
Before importing Lion's Mane, a distributor should confirm four things: exactly what the product is (part used, extraction, single-species vs blend), the documentation for their market, the commercial terms (territory, MOQ, pricing), and whether samples are available. Getting these clear up front prevents the two most common problems — mislabelled product and unclear terms.
Confirm the product and its documentation
Ask for the specification and the documentation available for your market before you discuss volume. Import and resale rules vary by country, so match the paperwork to where you'll actually sell.
Get the commercial terms in the open
Territory, exclusivity, minimum volumes and pricing should be discussed early. A supplier who scopes these to your market — rather than quoting one-size-fits-all — is easier to build a long relationship with.
FAQ

It depends on your market and volume. Raise it early so expectations are clear on both sides.
What documentation will I get?+
Specifications and test reports on request; we'll advise on what your market typically requires.
Can I start with one species?+
Yes — Lion's Mane is a strong first product given its demand, and the range can grow from there.
