What to know before importing food & agriculture from India

- Kerala and Guntur (spices), Unjha (cumin, seeds), Punjab and Haryana (basmati), Assam and Darjeeling (tea), Nashik (grapes, onions)
- Usual HS classification
- Chapters 07–12 (produce, spices, rice, seeds) and 19–21 (processed foods)
- Typical production time
- 15–45 days; crops are seasonal, plus shipping
- Certifications buyers ask for
- FSSAI and APEDA registration · HACCP, ISO 22000 or BRCGS Food · India Organic (NPOP), USDA Organic or EU Organic · US FDA facility registration
- Export documents
- Commercial invoice and packing list · Certificate of origin · Bill of lading or airway bill · Phytosanitary certificate · Lab report for pesticide residues and aflatoxin
- Before you order
- Ask for a pre-shipment lab test against your market's limits
- Fix the crop year in the contract
- Use moisture-proof packing for sea freight
General guidance for planning. Your supplier’s quotation confirms lead time and documents, and your customs broker confirms the HS code and duty.
Rules to plan for in Africa
- Pre-shipment conformity programmes such as SONCAP (Nigeria) or PVoC (Kenya)
- Third-party inspection before loading
- Payment by letter of credit is common and supported
Requirements depend on the exact product. Name them in your request and the quotation includes the right tests and documents.
