Loading port
Clients can choose loading port which is suitable for them. The local charges for each port are different. Except local charges, the shipments quantities are also one factor. Like Shanghai or Qingdao, they have more shipments than other ports.
| Item | Tianjin | Qingdao | Shanghai |
| Local charges | lower | high | high |
| Shipment quantities | short | more | More |
| Distance from factory | short | short | far |
HSH usually choose Tianjin or Qingdao first. The Disodium EDA price to above loading ports are same.
Ocean freight
Ocean freight is an inescapable consideration under CIF terms.Influenced by the war, the ocean freight experienced a significant increase in March and April. Many people think the ocean freight may go down or be stable after China vacation in May. Regrettably, the market has recently witnessed a sharp spike in ocean freight rates, coupled with an acute shortage of vessel space and container availability. This has inevitably impacted Disodium EDA cost structure and shipping schedules.
USD exchange rate
USD exchange rate cannot be ignored either. For the sales professionals, checking the daily USD exchange rates is the very first priority as soon as they step into the office each morning.
The highest point of USD exchange rate is upto 7.33-7.35 in Mar.,2025. After May,2025, the exchange rate continued to decline. Till now USD exchange rate is 6.75. USD exchange rate makes USD price for Disodium EDA rise obviously.
| Item | 3-5,2025 | 6-12,2025 | 1,2026-till now |
| USD exchange rate | 7.25-7.35 | 7.20-7.00 | 7.00-6.75 |
| Influence for price | positive | negative | negative |
Payment terms
Payment terms and USD exchange rates are intrinsically connected－a change in one often directly impacts the other. For long term credit orders, this undoubtedly caused huge losses.When the sales team calculates the price for Disodium EDA, both exchange rate fluctuations and banking costs are taken into full consideration.
Flexible payment methods also mean different prices,also Disodium EDA based on credit is much higher than prepaid.
Short-Term Disodium EDTA Price Trend
Based on current market conditions, Disodium EDTA prices are expected to remain relatively stable in the short term. Prices of key raw materials EDA and Sodium Hydroxide have shown limited volatility,which helps manufacturers maintain consistent production costs.
However, buyers purchasing on a CIF basis may experience moderate price increases due to fluctuations in international ocean freight rates.
While Disodium EDA EXW price is likely to stay stable, higher shipping costs could lead to increased purchase costs in some overseas market.
For bulk buyers, monitoring both raw material trends and ocean freight rates is recommended when planning future purchases. Requesting quotations in advance can also help secure more favorable pricing during periods of freight volatility.
