What to look for when sourcing lysine

Product specification

The buying decision hinges on the intended use, as feed, food, and pharmaceutical applications demand different purity and testing.

Form & assay

Specify the lysine salt (e.g., hydrochloride or sulfate), the minimum assay or purity, and whether you need a liquid or dry form.

Grade & impurities

Define the required grade (feed, food, or pharma) and agree on acceptable limits for heavy metals, sulfated ash, and other impurities.

Packaging & particle size

Confirm packaging (bags, drums, bulk) and particle size (granular, powder, or micro-granular) based on your handling and application needs.

Quality acceptance

Quality acceptance must be based on lab analysis, not just a certificate. Agree on testing methods and reference samples.

Analytical testing
Confirm the assay method (e.g., HPLC) and acceptable ranges for purity, moisture, and impurities. Ask for a certificate of analysis from the batch you are buying.
Sampling & retention
Define how samples are drawn (from production, warehouse, or shipment) and retain a reference sample for both parties.
Conformity & claims
Agree on the acceptance procedure (pre-shipment or arrival) and the claim process if the shipment does not meet the agreed specification.

Origin requirements

Preferred origins depend on your supply chain strategy, including cost, logistics, and any regional sourcing policies.

Country or region

Indicate your preferred production countries (e.g., China, the US, Europe) and whether local sourcing in the destination country is preferred.

Supply security

Ask about production capacity, warehousing in the destination region, and ability to supply multiple shipments over a period.

Substitute origins

If the chosen origin faces supply issues, agree on acceptable alternative origins that meet the same specification and quality.

Commercial terms

Lysine is often priced on a per-kilogram or per-ton basis, with terms that vary by warehouse delivery or import shipment.

Price basis: Agree on the price per unit (kg or MT), currency, and whether the price includes delivery or is ex-works.
Delivery terms: Confirm the Incoterm (e.g., FOB, CIF, DDP) and the exact delivery point (origin factory, destination port, or your warehouse).
Payment & validity: Set payment terms (e.g., letter of credit, advance, or net days) and the validity period of the quote. Clarify minimum order quantity and lead time.

Documentation & compliance

Documentation must match the actual shipment and the destination's regulatory requirements, which vary by country and end-use.

Shipping docs: Check that the invoice, packing list, and bill of lading have identical product names, quantities, and batch numbers.
Regulatory certificates: Depending on the destination, you may need certificates like a health certificate, GMO-free statement, or Halal certification. Verify what your destination requires.
Export/import compliance: Confirm that the supplier can provide the necessary export documentation (e.g., phytosanitary, certificate of origin) and that you have the correct import permits.

Supplier capability

Lysine production is fermentation-based; the supplier may be a producer, a trader, or a formulator. Know who is responsible for each step.

Manufacturing & quality
Identify whether the supplier is the fermentation plant, a repacker, or a distributor. Ask about their quality control labs and production capacity.
Consistency
Ask how they ensure batch-to-batch consistency and what their track record is with your grade or application.
Order handling
Confirm order minimums, sample availability, and their ability to handle your logistics (e.g., export documentation, local delivery).
