Methodology and Commercial Scope
Hub verification
The country set follows the 15 largest independent exporters in the latest complete 2024 WITS / UN Comtrade HS 271210 ranking, excluding the European Union aggregate to prevent double counting. The ranking and current trade continuity evidence were rechecked for this July 28, 2026 update; Iran is assessed separately through five verified gateways.
Price assessment
Ranges triangulate late-July 2026 public FOB observations where available, regional transaction benchmarks updated in July 2026, Q1 2026 market direction, 2024 customs unit values and grade or packaging premiums. Customs unit values are used only as reasonableness checks and are not copied as executable spot quotations.
Basis and RFQ
Every displayed row is FOB or FCA only. CFR, CIF, duty, insurance and destination handling are excluded. A firm quote requires the exact specification, quantity, packaging, named port or FCA place, shipment window, documents and payment terms.

Usage and Quality Notes
- All figures are non-binding commercial planning ranges in USD/MT. Final prices can move with feedstock, exchange rates, availability, order size, packaging, payment terms and shipment timing.
- Public petroleum-jelly pricing is fragmented and there is no exchange-set FOB or FCA benchmark for every origin; ranges therefore combine multiple evidence types and intentionally allow for specification and execution differences.
- White, snow white or ultra white describes appearance and refining position; it does not by itself prove USP, NF, BP, Ph. Eur., IP or other pharmacopoeial compliance.
- Pharmaceutical or food-contact use requires an acceptable current batch COA plus the manufacturer and regulatory documents required by the buyer’s market. Contract documents should state the applicable pharmacopoeial monograph version.
- Customs unit values combine grades, pack sizes and contract structures. They are used as a reasonableness check, not presented as live offers.
- FOB excludes ocean freight, insurance and destination charges. FCA excludes transport and risk after delivery to the carrier at the named place.
Petroleum Jelly Price FAQ
Are these Petroleum Jelly prices binding offers?
No. They are dated FOB/FCA planning assessments. A binding quotation requires the exact grade, specification, quantity, packaging, named port or place, shipment window, documents and payment terms.
How were the export hubs selected?
The main list follows the 15 largest independent country exporters in the latest complete 2024 HS 271210 global ranking. The European Union aggregate is excluded to avoid double counting, and current evidence is used to test whether each origin remains commercially active. Iran is benchmarked separately.
What does the country average mean?
It is the arithmetic mean of the midpoint of the visible product ranges for that origin. Use the row matching the required grade and packaging rather than treating the country average as a firm quote.
Why can two prices from the same hub differ?
Purification level, pharmacopoeial compliance, color, consistency, melting range, drum material, lining, pack size, palletization, quantity and documentation can materially change the FOB or FCA price.
What proves USP, BP or Ph. Eur. grade?
The supplied batch must meet the agreed monograph and be supported by an acceptable current COA and required manufacturer documentation. A marketing description or white color is not sufficient proof.
Do these prices include delivery to the buyer?
No. FOB and FCA exclude destination freight, insurance, import duty, tax, inspection and destination handling. Those costs must be calculated separately for the buyer’s route.
