APEDA (Agricultural Products Export Development Authority) certification is India’s official authorization for agricultural and botanical exports. It ensures products meet international phytosanitary standards, are properly documented, and comply with importing country regulations. For dry flower importers, APEDA certification eliminates customs delays and guarantees compliance with plant health requirements in your country.

Minimum order quantities vary by product type. For most items, we accept orders starting at 500 kg or 1 MT. Some specialty items may have lower minimums (e.g., lotus pods, exotic flowers). We’re flexible for long-term partners and can negotiate terms for consistent, high-volume orders. Contact our sales team for specific product MOQs.

Standard ocean freight from Kolkata to major European ports (Rotterdam, Hamburg) takes 30-45 days. USA East Coast shipping takes 35-50 days. Express shipping options are available at premium rates.

Items like pampas grass and sola flowers are grown specifically for export. We prioritize working with suppliers who follow ethical harvesting and environmental best practices. Specific sustainability certifications are available upon request.
