Origin and handling
Plantation lots are cured and optically sorted before bagging. The 8mm+ extra-bold grade is the highest commercial screen we publish; 7.5–8mm bold is the common retail-jar band. Split and open pods are a different RFQ (seed or oleoresin).
Sample, MOQ, and lead time
Cardamom lots are allocated against crop and curing calendars. Sample size, commercial quantity, and sailing window are confirmed in writing before we treat a booking as firm. Request a type sample.
Destination shipping
GCC food-service and retail programmes typically name Jebel Ali or Dammam. EU and UK spice desks more often name Rotterdam, Hamburg, or Felixstowe. We book the port on the RFQ.
Documentation we coordinate
We coordinate phytosanitary papers, packing lists, and a CoA when the contract asks for volatile-oil or moisture assay. Spice Board and FSSAI paperwork is prepared as required. Registration numbers are not published on this page.
