Alibaba Minimum Order
Most products on Alibaba allow modifications. To modify products, manufacturers bc data brazil require a certain number of units to be manufactured at a time. That's the best way they can make a profit. As a result, you'll see products with an MOQ of 50 or as high as 500 (or more).
