MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)
The minimum order quantity is the smallest amount a supplier will sell in one order, set for reasons such as batch size, packaging, handling cost or production economics. For bulk chemicals it may reflect a full drum or production run. For custom synthesis it reflects the effort needed to run a route, regardless of the final quantity.
