As of August 27, 2026, this Paraffin Wax price page compares 23 validated production, distribution and re-export origins across 123 FOB/FCA price rows. Current planning indications span USD 500–2,350/MT by grade, melting range, oil content, packing and named handover point. Iran is assessed separately at USD 850–1,290/MT across eleven export hubs using the August 19, 2026 Iran reference dataset. Direct public Mersin and Jebel Ali quotations are shown as single values; other rows are non-binding market-planning ranges and require a dated RFQ.

Methodology and Commercial Scope
Hub validation
The country list is rebuilt from the latest complete comparable World Bank/WITS HS 271220 exporter table available for this update (2024 trade, refreshed in late August 2026), then checked against current producer, product, packing and loading evidence. Saudi Arabia and Switzerland are added in this edition. Aggregated EU and 'Other Asia, nes' reporters are excluded because they are not distinct commercial origins.
Product and price validation
Product rows use current producer or distributor portfolios where available. Price ranges triangulate August 2026 regional indices, June 2026 public FOB benchmarks, current Mersin/Jebel Ali quotations, exporter unit-value checks and observable grade, form and packing premiums. A benchmark is not treated as an executable grade price.
Basis and RFQ
Sea-port rows use FOB; refinery, warehouse, rail or land-border handovers use FCA. A firm quotation requires the exact grade and COA, quantity, packing, named Incoterm point, destination, document set, inspection, payment route, carrier feasibility and loading window.

Usage Note and Data Quality Controls
- All figures are FOB/FCA screening values in USD/MT and are non-binding unless a dated commercial offer states otherwise.
- HS 271220 covers paraffin wax containing less than 0.75% oil. HS 271290 is used only as a cross-check for higher-oil and other mineral-wax flows; it is not merged mechanically into the low-oil exporter ranking.
- The exporter list uses actual country reporters. EU aggregate and 'Other Asia, nes' are excluded; Iran and the UAE remain because their current commercial route data materially improve buyer coverage.
- Saudi Arabia and Switzerland are new in this edition because both have material 2024 HS 271220 exports and current product evidence sufficient for standalone commercial rows.
- Regional price indices and national FOB benchmarks are market anchors, not substitutes for a grade-specific quote. Oil content, melting range, purity, form, packing, lot size and loading point can materially change the executable price.
- Malaysia Shell GTL Sarawax rows refer to heated bulk marine cargo; solid retail or bagged wax should not be priced from those rows without a separate packing conversion.
- Iran uses the August 19, 2026 58-row, 11-hub dataset as its controlling source, including the Mehran / Zurbatiyah corridor.
- For contract use, request a current COA/TDS, batch origin, quantity, packing, named FOB/FCA point, carrier acceptance, inspection, document set, payment route and loading window.
Paraffin Wax Price FAQ
What is the current global Paraffin Wax planning range?
As of August 27, 2026, the listed FOB/FCA range is USD 500–2,350/MT. The spread reflects refining level, oil content, melting range, origin, packing and delivery point.
Which export origins were added in this update?
Saudi Arabia and Switzerland were added after the latest complete HS 271220 exporter ranking was rechecked and current product evidence was verified for each origin.
How are the country and hub tables selected?
The process begins with World Bank/WITS HS 271220 exporter data, then validates the current product portfolio, grade, packing and a practical FOB/FCA loading or handover point. Trade ranking alone is not sufficient.
Why can a regional index differ from a table row?
Regional indices are broad market benchmarks. Individual rows can carry premiums or discounts for purity, oil content, melting point, formulation, packing, lot size and local loading economics.
Why does the map average differ from a specific price row?
The map value is the arithmetic mean of the midpoints of the listed rows for that country. Commercial comparison should use the exact row matching the required product, grade, packing and basis.
Are the prices binding offers?
No. Mersin and Jebel Ali single values are dated public market quotations; all remaining rows are planning assessments. A binding offer requires a current RFQ and commercial confirmation.
What is the current Iran Paraffin Wax range?
The controlling Iran assessment dated August 19, 2026 is USD 850–1,290/MT across eleven hubs: Bandar Abbas, Imam Khomeini/Mahshahr, Bushehr, Chabahar, Bazargan, Astara, Norduz, Parvizkhan, Mehran, Dogharoun and Mirjaveh.
What information is required for a reliable RFQ?
Specify refining level, maximum oil content, melting range, color requirement, quantity, packing, named FOB/FCA point, destination, loading window, inspection, COA, SDS, export documents and payment route.
Confirm a Dated Paraffin Wax Quote
