What should I include in a maple syrup quotation request?

Specify the grade (e.g., Amber, Dark), form (bulk or retail), quantity in gallons or drums, packaging type, and delivery destination. Add any desired origin or certification requirements.

How do I compare wholesale maple syrup offers?

Compare offers on the same grade, container size, and delivery terms. Convert prices to the same unit (e.g., per gallon) and verify that all offers include the same packaging and freight charges.

How should I assess a maple syrup sample?

Check the syrup's color, clarity, and flavor against your grade specification. Also confirm the density (Brix) and weigh the sample to ensure it meets the stated volume.

How can I check a maple syrup supplier before signing a contract?

Verify the supplier's business registration, request trade references, and review any grade certificates from prior shipments. Put the agreed specification, quantity, delivery schedule, payment terms, and quality-claim process in the contract.

What to look for when sourcing maple syrup

Product specification

Define the syrup's grade and style, as that affects taste, color, and price. Confirm the exact form you are buying, since bulk syrup and retail-packaged syrup involve different specifications.

Grade and color

Specify the syrup grade according to the applicable standard, such as Golden, Amber, Dark or Very Dark, and note if you require a certain flavor profile.

Form and processing

State whether you are buying raw bulk syrup for further processing or finished retail syrup, and specify any filtration or heat treatment required.

Packaging and units

Agree on container type and size, such as pails, drums, totes, or bottles, and confirm units per package and packaging specifications.

Quality acceptance

Syrup quality is evaluated by color, density, flavor, and clarity, but standards vary by grade and destination. Agree on how you will test the syrup and link the sample to the bulk shipment.

Sensory and physical evaluation
Define the sensory characteristics you require, such as maple flavor intensity and absence of off-flavors, and agree on acceptable density and clarity parameters.
Sampling and lot testing
Specify how samples are drawn (e.g., from drums or bulk tank) and tested for °Brix, color, and any other quality parameters. Confirm the laboratory or method used.
Acceptance and claims
Retain the approved sample and agree on the inspection point (e.g., at origin or destination) and the claim procedure if the shipment does not match the sample.

Origin requirements

Maple syrup origin affects taste and supply timing. Decide how precise your origin requirements are, from a broad region to a specific producer.

Geographic and producer traceability

Request the state or province, producer name, and the specific sugarbush if you need traceability beyond the product label.

Harvest and production year

Ask when the syrup was produced and whether it is from the current or previous season, as this affects flavor and storability.

Acceptable alternatives

For volume orders, define which origins you can accept if the preferred region has limited supply.

Commercial terms

Maple syrup is traded in various container sizes and delivery terms. Compare offers on the same grade, packaging, and delivery basis.

Pricing basis and unit: Specify the currency and unit of measurement (e.g., per gallon or per pound) and whether the price is for a specific container size or bulk volume.
Delivery and logistics: Confirm the delivery term, such as ex-works, FOB, or delivered, and who arranges freight, insurance, and import clearance. Note any temperature or storage requirements during transit.
Order and payment terms: Agree on order quantity, shipment window, payment terms, and quote validity. For packed goods, confirm labelling and carton requirements.

Documentation & compliance

Check the paperwork that will accompany the shipment, as it must match the physical product and meet destination import rules. The required certificates vary by market and product form.

Basic shipment documents: Align product description, grade, quantity, and lot references across the invoice, packing list, and transport document. Ensure the producer or exporter name is consistent.
Product and origin certificates: Confirm what grade certificates or origin documents are needed, and for organic or other scheme-labeled syrup, verify the current certificate scope and chain-of-custody evidence.
Destination import requirements: Check with the buyer's customs broker on any required import permits, labeling rules, or food safety documentation for the destination country.

Supplier capability

Maple syrup suppliers range from small producers to large packers, each with different capacities. Establish who is responsible for filling the order and ensuring quality.

Production or packing capacity
Ask about the supplier's annual syrup volume, storage capacity, and ability to fill large orders or multiple shipments within your required timeline.
Quality and traceability systems
Determine how the supplier maintains product consistency across batches and whether they can provide traceability from the bottle or drum back to the sugarbush.
Order fit and flexibility
Confirm minimum order quantities, sample availability, and capacity to handle retail packaging or custom labelling if needed.
