Chicken Breast: export from Canada to Southeast Asia

Breast is the highest-value part of the bird in most markets and the one where a vague specification costs the most, because the same three words cover products that differ by a wide margin in price.

Decide four things and write them down. Bone-in or boneless. Skin-on or skinless. The weight band per piece, in grams, not as a description. And whether the tender is attached, left in the carton loose, or removed and sold separately, which is a real commercial difference.

After that, the question buyers most often fail to ask is added solution. Breast sold with retained water or a marinade behaves differently on the grill and represents a different quantity of meat per kilogram. If your buyer is comparing your offer against one that carries solution, you are not comparing the same product.

Frozen IQF dominates the container trade into Southeast Asia. Freezing method and individual piece separation matter on arrival, because a block that has to be thawed whole removes the flexibility the buyer bought IQF for.

Establishment eligibility for the destination comes before any of this.
