Regions

Focus market

Middle East & GCC

UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain and the wider region

Short sea lanes from India’s west coast to Gulf and Red Sea ports make the region a natural fit for spices, dehydrated products and makhana.

Considerations to confirm per commodity

  • Each country sets its own import rules; GCC states also share a number of GSO standards.
  • Retail-packed food generally needs Arabic-language labelling with production and expiry dates.
  • Importers commonly register products or consignments with the national food authority before or at import.
  • A halal certificate may be requested for some products — tell us at enquiry stage.

Focus market

Europe & United Kingdom

EU member states, the United Kingdom and neighbouring markets

Large ingredient, seasoning and specialist-food industries buy to tight, written specifications — the way we prefer to work.

Considerations to confirm per commodity

  • The EU applies maximum residue levels for pesticides under Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, and contaminant limits — including aflatoxins in certain spices — under Regulation (EU) 2023/915.
  • Some products from some origins are subject to increased official controls at the EU border; the current list should be checked when the contract is agreed.
  • Great Britain sets its own residue levels and import controls; they may differ from the EU’s.
  • Testing scope is therefore agreed per commodity and destination before the order is confirmed.

Focus market

South-East & East Asia

Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, South Korea and others

Established sea and air connections from Mumbai, and steady demand for Indian spices and dehydrated ingredients.

Considerations to confirm per commodity

  • Requirements vary widely between countries; several require import permits or registration for plant products.
  • Phytosanitary certificates are commonly required for whole spices, seeds and fresh produce.
  • Some markets apply their own residue limits that differ from Codex values.

Quoted on request

North America

United States and Canada

Quoted on request once the commodity and importer requirements are known.

Considerations to confirm per commodity

  • United States: food facilities that manufacture, process, pack or hold food for US consumption must be registered with the FDA, and prior notice is required for imported food shipments.
  • US importers carry obligations under the FDA’s Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP).
  • Canada: imports of food generally require the importer to hold a Safe Food for Canadians licence.

Australia & New Zealand

Australia and New Zealand

Considerations to confirm per commodity

  • Australia’s import conditions for plant products are set in the BICON system; some commodities need permits or treatment.
  • New Zealand applies import health standards set by its Ministry for Primary Industries.
