Determine Product Type and Specifications

Choose the right cat litter type based on your target market preferences.

Cat Litter Type	Best For	Key Specs to Confirm
Tofu	Premium eco-markets	Diameter (1.5/2.0/3.0mm), grade (S/A/B/C), fragrance, flushable
Cassava	Premium biodegradable	Grade (A/B), fragrance, flushable
Mixed	Balanced performance	Formula ratio (cassava-tofu or bentonite-tofu), fragrance
Bentonite	Budget high-volume	Particle size range (0.5-2.5mm), dust control, clumping speed

Confirm MOQ and Order Details

Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is a key negotiation point. Understand the supplier's MOQ policy for different order types.

Bentonite	10 tons	10 tons
Silica	10 tons	10 tons
Tofu	10 tons	10 tons
Cassava	10 tons	10 tons

Finalize Packaging and Private Label

For OEM orders, packaging design is a critical step. Your packaging is your brand identity in the market.

Secure payment terms protect both buyer and supplier. Standard payment terms in China's cat litter industry are 30% deposit, 70% before shipment.

Order Type	Lead Time	Notes
