Distributors · Buying guideReceiving Bulk Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder
Build a receiving checklist for bulk ceremonial grade matcha powder covering package identification, order references and exception handling.
Receive bulk ceremonial grade matcha powder against the agreed purchase order, packing details and lot references. Create a record of what arrived and any exceptions before allocating the stock to customers. Acceptance conditions should be agreed with the supplier in advance.

Decide what receiving needs to verify
The receiving team may not have attended the sample tasting. Give them an order reference they can actually use. It should identify the product, ordered quantity, expected packing configuration and the information required on the packages.
H2 Green's current matcha MOQ is 200 kg, but that quantity does not establish bag weight or cartons per shipment. Agree those details for the proposed order rather than allowing the warehouse to infer them.
Compare the shipment with the agreed record
Start with the order identifier and product code. Then compare package count, net weights and visible lot information with the documents supplied. Record the date and the person responsible for the check. This makes later questions easier to investigate.
| Receiving item | Record to keep |
|---|---|
| Product identity | Offered code and description |
| Quantity | Package count and stated net weight |
| Lot identification | References visible on supplied packages |
| Package condition | Observations and photographs of exceptions |
| Documents | Received files and their relevant scope |
Use a defined route for exceptions
A torn package, an unexpected code or a missing document needs a documented response. Record the issue without immediately mixing affected stock with accepted inventory. Have the buyer's quality team decide the next step under its own process and the agreed purchase terms.
This is a suggested receiving workflow, not a promise of automatic replacement or compensation. Those responsibilities need to be resolved in the commercial agreement.
Connect receipt with the retained sample
If the purchasing plan includes checking incoming material against a reference, agree the sampling method and acceptance conditions before shipment. Compare under the same preparation conditions used in the approved test. A photograph alone is not a complete acceptance criterion.
When contacting H2 Green, include your receiving-document needs and any lot-identification requirements with the application, quantity and destination. Raising them before the order helps separate confirmed supply details from assumptions made later by the warehouse.

Buyer questions
Should the warehouse compare color with a website image?
Use the agreed specification and reference procedure. Website images are illustrative and are not a lot acceptance standard.
What happens if an incoming package differs from the order?
Document the difference and follow the agreed acceptance and claim terms. Replacement or compensation is not automatic.
