Crude Canola Oil: export from Canada to Southeast Asia
Crude canola oil is bought by refiners, and it is a different product commercially, logistically and often regulatorily from the seed it came from. The specification is about what the refinery will have to remove: free fatty acid content, phosphorus, moisture and impurities, colour, and peroxide value.
Buyers with refining capacity take crude because it lands cheaper than refined and lets them control the finished specification. Buyers without it should be quoting refined oil instead: taking crude and toll-refining it rarely works at import volumes.
Shipping format is the decision that most affects landed cost. Flexitank, ISO tank and bulk vessel are different cost bases with different minimum volumes and different handling requirements at the destination port, and the right answer depends on your volume and your terminal access, not on a general rule.
Canada’s crush capacity means crude oil is available in practice as well as in principle, and supply is steadier through the year than seed because crushing buffers the harvest. Specify the refining parameters you actually care about: a general "crude canola oil" enquiry will get you a general answer.
