Current Hurdles
Shipment Rejections
Indian food exporters regularly face import rejections at US FDA and EU customs due to labeling errors, pesticide residues, or missing certifications.
Unknown Requirements
Each country has different food standards. What is FSSAI-compliant in India may not meet EU or US requirements.

Many buyers in Middle East, UK, and Europe require Halal, Organic, or BRC certification before placing orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
For US exports you need USFDA facility registration, compliance with FDA labeling requirements (Nutrition Facts panel, allergen declarations), FSVP compliance for your US importer, and potentially FSMA compliance documentation depending on product category.
APEDA (Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority) registration is mandatory for Indian exporters of scheduled agricultural and processed food products including cereals, dairy, meat, fruits, vegetables, and processed foods. We handle the complete APEDA registration process.
Halal certification requires an audit of your ingredients, production process, and facility by an accredited Halal certification body. We facilitate the process with recognized bodies whose certificates are accepted in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and other key markets.
Generally no. Each target market has its own labeling requirements — different formats for nutrition information, mandatory allergen statements, country-specific claims regulations. We design export-specific labels for each target market.
We have supported export projects to UAE, Saudi Arabia, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Singapore, and several EU countries. Each engagement includes market-specific regulatory mapping.
