Garlic Wholesale Buying Guide from China: Grades & Import Tips
China is a major garlic exporter, offering white and purple-red garlic in a range of sizes and grades. Knowing how grades, bulb size and packing work helps buyers order the right product and avoid costly mistakes.

Garlic types and grades
White garlic is the most common export type - firm, clean and suited to long shipping. Purple-red garlic has a richer skin colour valued in some markets. Grades separate premium, standard and processing-quality lots by bulb size, firmness and skin condition.

Choosing bulb size and pack
Bulbs are graded by diameter, commonly 4-5 cm, 5-6 cm and 6 cm +. Bulk mesh bags or braded (string) packs suit wholesale, while individual cartons suit retail. Choose the format that matches your market's preference.
Packing and shipping notes
Well-cured garlic ships well, but it must stay dry and ventilated to avoid mould and sprouting. Confirm pack weight, mesh density and container loading before dispatch.
Ask for a specification sheet covering grade, size, weight and moisture so every delivery matches your order.

Storage and shelf life
Keep garlic in cool, dry, ventilated storage away from direct sun. Proper storage preserves firmness and extends shelf life for a steady sell-through.
