How to Import Food Ingredients from India

Start with a signed specification sheet and an approved counter-sample. Everything downstream — testing, packing, claims — refers back to it.

Your shipment file should include a certificate of analysis per lot, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, fumigation certificate where applicable, invoice, packing list and the transport document.

Agree incoterms, loading port and inspection arrangements before production begins, and destination clearance becomes routine rather than a negotiation.
