Indian garlic, graded for buyers in United Kingdom.

The UK imports almost all its garlic, and its South Asian grocery trade asks for pungent Indian garlic by name.

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).

Containerised sea freight from Indian ports to UK container terminals.

• Entry: Felixstowe

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 United Kingdom is regulated by the Food Standards Agency.

• No importer licence is needed, but plant products are notified in advance on the IPAFFS system where their risk category requires it.
• A phytosanitary certificate from India's Plant Protection, Quarantine and Storage directorate (PPQS) goes with every consignment. The UK expects it to be issued within 13 days of export.
• Produce covered by a UK marketing standard needs a certificate of conformity and the matching labelling.
• We provide a certificate of origin (India origin) from the DGFT certificate-of-origin system.
