Indian garlic, graded for buyers in UAE.

The UAE imports almost all its fresh garlic, and Dubai re-exports across the Gulf, so graded Indian garlic competes directly with Chinese supply on flavour.

Fresh white garlic, sorted by bulb size. Four sizes cover the range organised buyers usually ask for, from 27–32 mm up to 42 mm and above. Ships under HS 0703.20 (fresh or chilled garlic).

Sea freight from India's west coast ports, one of the shortest container routes for Indian produce.

• Entry: Jebel Ali (Dubai)
• Entry: Khalifa Port (Abu Dhabi)

Direct sailings from Nhava Sheva or Mundra reach Jebel Ali in roughly 3 to 5 days, depending on the carrier.

We quote on Ex Works (EXW) and Free On Board (FOB): our responsibility ends at the Indian port or border point, and the onward leg is the buyer's. Import clearance in UAE is regulated by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE).

• A phytosanitary certificate from India's Plant Protection, Quarantine and Storage directorate (PPQS) goes with every consignment.
• MOCCAE inspects and releases fresh produce at the port and can test it for pesticide residues, the most common reason for rejection.
• The importer confirms with MOCCAE whether the consignment needs a permit before it ships.
• We provide a certificate of origin (India origin) from the DGFT certificate-of-origin system.
