How to import spices from India to the USA
Six steps, each linked to the official source. Rules change, so confirm current requirements with your customs broker. Full guide: How to import spices from India to the USA.
- 01Register the facility with the FDAForeign facilities that manufacture, pack or hold food for US consumption must register with the FDA, name a US agent, and renew every even-numbered year between 1 October and 31 December. Bibhakar & Sons is registered; the number is on request.
- 02Set up your FSVPThe US owner or consignee of the food at entry must run a Foreign Supplier Verification Program for each food and foreign supplier, unless exempt. We share our registrations and product specifications to support your file.
- 03File the Importer Security FilingFor sea freight, your customs broker files the Importer Security Filing (ISF) at least 24 hours before the cargo is loaded at the Indian port. We send the booking and cargo details in time.
- 04Confirm FDA Prior NoticePrior Notice must be confirmed by the FDA at least 8 hours before a sea shipment reaches the US port, and can be filed up to 15 days ahead in the FDA online system. It is filed for every shipment.
- 05Check plant-health rulesUSDA APHIS regulates plants and plant products, including some seeds for consumption. Requirements depend on the product and country of origin, so your broker checks the ACIR database. We supply the phytosanitary certificate and certificate of origin.
