Key Quality Parameters

For a serious export quotation, I recommend specifying purity, moisture, foreign matter, other seeds, damaged seeds, volatile oil, pesticide residues, aflatoxin and microbiological parameters rather than simply stating "premium quality."

For example, India's regulatory specification for cumin powder sets moisture at not more than 10% and volatile oil at not less than 1.3% v/w on a dry basis; whole-seed export specifications should be agreed separately with the buyer and destination requirements.

HS Code

For Indian export documentation, cumin falls under HS Chapter 0909. The current ITC(HS) schedule contains specific subheadings for cumin, including 0909 31 for cumin that is neither crushed nor ground and 0909 32 for crushed/ground cumin. The exact 8-digit code should be selected according to the product description and applicable current tariff schedule.

For whole cumin: use the applicable 0909 31xx classification after confirming the exact 8-digit ITC-HS code with your CHA/customs broker.
