**Yes — as a mangosteen exporter for private label, we arrange fresh Indonesian manggis (Garcinia mangostana) in your own-brand 5, 8 or 10 kg cartons, printed to China CIQ label rules, from a typical 1-3 MT MOQ scaling to a full reefer container. FOB runs roughly USD 2-3.5/kg (indicative per 2026), grade and season dependent.**
Private label means your brand travels on the box, not ours. The fruit is sourced from registered orchards and packed at an OKKPD-approved packhouse; the carton, the print, the size-grading spec and the compliance panel are built around your importer identity. Below is how the branding, the pricing bands and the China labeling requirements fit together.
What does private-label mangosteen export actually include?
A private-label program covers three layers: the physical carton, the printed branding, and the regulatory label panel that customs reads on arrival.
- The carton — corrugated export boxes in 5, 8 or 10 kg net weights, ventilated for reefer cold chain and stacked on the size-grading spec you choose (Super ~10 fruit/kg through small 15-20 fruit/kg).
- Your branding — full-color or single-color print with your logo, brand name, net weight and origin marks. Gift-grade 5 kg packs can take premium sleeves; 10 kg volume cartons usually run a lighter print.
- The compliance panel — the fixed data China’s customs expects: product name, origin, packhouse registration, and the GACC registration number, kept separate from your marketing artwork so nothing on the box contradicts the documents.
We coordinate this as a concierge desk working with vetted, registered packhouses — we do not own the orchard, and we quote fruit and packing, not a guaranteed customs outcome.
What do private-label cartons and grades cost?
Two things drive price: the grade band (by fruit-count per kg) and the branding work. Fruit is priced by grade, not by carton size. Custom print and plate setup are a one-time add-on folded into your first order.
Carton and branding options
| Carton (net) | Best for | Branding | Print lead-time add |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 kg | Premium gift packs, air freight | Full-color own-brand + CIQ panel | ~5-10 working days first run |
| 8 kg | Retail reefer to China | Own-brand + CIQ panel | ~5-10 working days first run |
| 10 kg | Volume wholesale | Own-brand or co-brand + CIQ panel | ~3-7 working days first run |
Grade and FOB price band (indicative per 2026)
| Grade | Fruit count / kg | Typical market fit | FOB indicative |
|---|---|---|---|
| FAQ / lower | 15-20 fruit/kg | Regional / secondary markets | USD 1.5-2.5/kg |
| Standard export (A) | ~12-15 fruit/kg | Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam | USD 2.2-3.0/kg |
| Premium / Super | ~10 fruit/kg | China protocol, gift packs | USD 2.8-3.8/kg (rare lots ~USD 4/kg) |
Working range sits around USD 2-3.5/kg FOB. These figures are FOB indicative per 2026 and move with panen (harvest), grade and season — China wholesale landed prices run higher and are not our FOB quote. Final numbers confirm once we lock grade, size, destination and MOQ.
How does China CIQ labeling work for your brand?
Your marketing artwork is free; the regulatory panel is not. Since China’s General Administration of Customs (GACC) brought Decree No. 248 into force on 1 January 2022, overseas food producers and the storage/packing facilities behind them must be registered, and the registration number has to appear on labels and export documents.
For mangosteen, the numbers you will see referenced are the GACC-2 exporter code (an 18-digit number starting “YA”), the producer code (starting “C”), and the GACC-5 product listing (a 13-digit HS-CIQ code). From 5 September 2024 (GACC Announcement 2024 No. 105), overseas exporters no longer apply directly and must go through a GACC-authorized Chinese registration agent using a China Electronic Port key. In practice that means the compliance panel on your private-label box is built around whichever registered packhouse and exporter of record ships your lot — we align your artwork to it so brand print and customs data never collide.
We help you design the label so your brand dominates the face while the CIQ panel stays compliant. We do not guarantee any lot passes China protocol, quarantine or customs — that verdict belongs to Barantan and GACC on the day.
What’s the minimum order for private-label cartons?
Custom print raises the practical floor a little, because plates and box runs have a setup cost. Typical MOQ is 1-3 MT, scaling toward a reefer container of roughly 10-25 MT. Cartons come in 5, 8 and 10 kg. A first private-label run is usually most efficient at 3 MT or more so the print setup spreads across enough boxes; repeat orders on the same artwork skip the setup and move faster.
How does private-label booking work?
- Send your brief — brand name, target market (China #1, or Singapore/Malaysia/Vietnam), carton size, grade, and rough volume. Use the branding form (message type: branding) or WhatsApp.
- Grade and price lock — we confirm the grade band, fruit-count spec and FOB against current harvest, then quote against your destination and MOQ.
- Artwork and CIQ panel — you supply logo and copy; we lay it up with the compliance panel for the registered packhouse and exporter of record, and send a proof.
- Print and pack — cartons print, fruit is pre-cooled and packed to spec at the OKKPD packhouse, size-graded and inspected for latex stain, cracking and cosmetic defects.
- Documents and shipment — phytosanitary/quarantine certificate, GAP, invoice, packing list and certificate of origin are assembled; reefer moves via Tanjung Perak (Surabaya), Tanjung Priok (Jakarta) or Denpasar logistics to Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou or Hong Kong.
Season note: national harvest runs Nov-Mar and is regionally variable across Jabar, Sumbar, Sumut and Bali, so lock print and volume early around your window. In early 2026, Bali manggis shipments to China jumped several-fold in the month before Lunar New Year — private-label capacity tightens fast in that stretch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put my own brand on China-bound mangosteen cartons?
Yes. Your logo, brand name and colors go on the carton face, while a fixed CIQ panel carries product name, origin and the GACC registration number required since Decree 248 took force in January 2022. We lay up both so branding and compliance data never contradict each other, then send a print proof before the run.
What is the minimum order for private-label mangosteen cartons?
Typical MOQ is 1-3 MT, scaling toward a reefer container of roughly 10-25 MT, in 5, 8 or 10 kg cartons. Because custom print carries a plate and box-run setup, a first branded run is most cost-efficient at 3 MT or more; repeat orders on the same artwork skip setup and ship faster.
Who is responsible for the GACC registration number on the label?
The number belongs to the registered packhouse and exporter of record that actually ships your lot, not to your brand. Since GACC Announcement 2024 No. 105 (effective 5 September 2024), applications route through a GACC-authorized Chinese agent. We align your private-label artwork to whichever registered entity handles your shipment, so the panel stays valid.
How much lead time does custom carton printing add?
Plan roughly 3-10 working days for a first print run, depending on carton size and print complexity, on top of grading and packing. Repeat orders on approved artwork skip setup. Because national harvest runs Nov-Mar and demand spikes before Lunar New Year, lock artwork and volume early so print does not become the bottleneck.
Can you co-brand instead of fully private-labeling?
Yes. Co-branding — your mark alongside the packhouse or origin identity — is common on 10 kg volume cartons and lowers print setup versus full private label. Full own-brand suits 5 kg gift packs and premium retail. Tell us your market and volume and we will recommend which route fits your grade band and budget.
