Frequently Asked Questions – Cinnamon, Buyers, Sellers & General

Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of trees from the genus Cinnamomum. True cinnamon, known as Ceylon cinnamon, has the botanical name Cinnamomum verum (or C. zeylanicum). Cassia cinnamon comes from Cinnamomum cassia, C. burmannii, or C. loureiroi. Indian cinnamon exports include both Ceylon and Cassia types, with Cassia being more common due to its stronger flavor. The bark is harvested, dried, and rolled into quills or ground into powder. Cinnamon is used worldwide in culinary, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications.
In India, cinnamon is primarily cultivated in the Western Ghats region, including Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. Some production also occurs in the North Eastern states and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. However, India is not a major producer of true Ceylon cinnamon; most Indian cinnamon exports are of Cassia varieties, which are grown in these regions. The total annual production is estimated at around 2,000-3,000 metric tons, with a significant portion being exported. Botanika Bharat LLP sources cinnamon from trusted farmers in these regions.
Indian cinnamon exporters mainly deal with two varieties: Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) and Cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia). Ceylon cinnamon is prized for its delicate, sweet flavor and thin, brittle quills, while Cassia has a stronger, spicier taste and thicker, harder quills. Cassia is further classified into Chinese, Indonesian, and Saigon types. Botanika Bharat LLP exports both varieties in forms such as quills, powder, oil, and oleoresin, catering to diverse buyer preferences in the global market.
Cinnamon has been used in India for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine and culinary practices. It is valued for its warming properties, aiding digestion, and treating respiratory issues. In Indian cuisine, it is a key ingredient in garam masala and biryani. Traditionally, it is also used to flavor teas, desserts, and medicinal concoctions. Cinnamon oil is applied for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits. These traditional uses continue to drive demand in both domestic and international markets, especially in the food, pharmaceutical, and wellness sectors.
Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is known as 'true cinnamon' and has a delicate, sweet flavor with thin, multilayered quills that are easy to break. It contains very low levels of coumarin, a compound that can be harmful in large doses. Cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) has a stronger, spicier flavor, thicker and harder quills, and higher coumarin content. Cassia is more common and cheaper, while Ceylon is premium. Botanika Bharat LLP exports both, ensuring buyers get the right variety for their needs.
Indian cinnamon is graded based on quill diameter, length, color, and presence of defects. Common grades include: Grade 1 (quills up to 6 mm diameter, uniform color), Grade 2 (6-10 mm), Grade 3 (10-16 mm), and Grade 4 (above 16 mm). For cinnamon powder, grades depend on mesh size, volatile oil content, and purity. AGMARK standards specify grades like Special, Good, and Fair. Botanika Bharat LLP ensures all exports meet these grading parameters to satisfy international buyer specifications.
AGMARK is a certification mark for agricultural products in India, ensuring quality and purity. For cinnamon, AGMARK grades are based on parameters like moisture content, volatile oil, foreign matter, and color. Although AGMARK is primarily for domestic markets, many exporters use it as a benchmark for quality. For exports, buyers often refer to Spices Board India specifications or international standards like ISO. Botanika Bharat LLP follows AGMARK guidelines to maintain high quality, even if not always certified, to meet buyer expectations.
The Spices Board India specifies quality standards for cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp.) for export. Key parameters include: moisture content max 12%, volatile oil min 0.5% (for Ceylon) and 1.0% (for Cassia), total ash max 7%, acid insoluble ash max 2%, and foreign matter max 1%. The board also provides guidelines for packaging, labeling, and certification. Exporters must comply with these to ensure acceptance in international markets. Botanika Bharat LLP adheres to these specifications for all its cinnamon exports.
For the EU and USA, cinnamon must meet stringent quality and safety standards. The EU requires compliance with EC Regulation 396/2005 for pesticide residues, and maximum levels for contaminants like lead (0.3 mg/kg) and cadmium (0.1 mg/kg). The USA follows FDA standards, including the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) for preventive controls. Both markets demand low coumarin levels for Ceylon cinnamon. Botanika Bharat LLP ensures its cinnamon meets these standards through rigorous testing and certification.
Cinnamon quality for export is assessed through physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters. Physical tests include appearance, color, quill length, and foreign matter. Chemical tests measure moisture (max 12%), volatile oil (min 0.5-1.5%), ash content, and coumarin levels. Microbiological tests check for Salmonella, E. coli, and total plate count. Additionally, pesticide residues and heavy metals are analyzed. Botanika Bharat LLP conducts these tests at accredited laboratories to ensure compliance with buyer specifications and international regulations.
Export-grade cinnamon typically requires a moisture content of 10-12% maximum. Higher moisture can lead to mold growth and quality deterioration, while lower moisture can make the quills brittle. The Spices Board India specifies a maximum of 12% moisture for cinnamon. Buyers in the EU and USA often require moisture below 10% to ensure longer shelf life. Botanika Bharat LLP ensures its cinnamon is properly dried and tested to meet these specifications, guaranteeing product stability during transit and storage.
Cinnamon powder for export is typically 100% pure, with no additives or fillers. Purity is assessed by parameters like volatile oil content, ash values, and absence of foreign matter. The Spices Board India mandates that cinnamon powder must be free from extraneous matter and have a volatile oil content of at least 0.5% for Ceylon and 1.0% for Cassia. Botanika Bharat LLP guarantees 100% pure cinnamon powder, tested for authenticity and quality, to meet the stringent demands of international buyers.
The volatile oil content in Indian cinnamon varies by variety. Ceylon cinnamon typically has 0.5-1.0% volatile oil, while Cassia cinnamon has 1.0-2.5%. The main component is cinnamaldehyde, which gives cinnamon its characteristic flavor and aroma. For export, buyers often specify a minimum volatile oil content; for example, Cassia cinnamon may require at least 1.5% for industrial use. Botanika Bharat LLP sources cinnamon with optimal volatile oil content to meet specific buyer requirements and ensure consistent quality.
The primary active compound in cinnamon is cinnamaldehyde, accounting for 60-75% of the volatile oil. Other compounds include eugenol, cinnamic acid, and coumarin. Cinnamaldehyde provides the characteristic flavor and antimicrobial properties. Coumarin, present in higher levels in Cassia, can be toxic in large amounts, so many markets prefer Ceylon cinnamon with low coumarin (<0.004%). These compounds determine cinnamon's quality and application in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Botanika Bharat LLP provides detailed COAs specifying these compounds.
The colour value of cinnamon is measured using the ASTA (American Spice Trade Association) method, which quantifies the extractable color. For cinnamon, the ASTA color value typically ranges from 20 to 60, depending on the variety and quality. Higher values indicate a more intense color. This parameter is crucial for buyers in the food industry, especially for products where color is important. Botanika Bharat LLP ensures its cinnamon meets the required ASTA color value as per buyer specifications.
Botanika Bharat LLP holds key certifications for exporting cinnamon: FSSAI license number 10251007107816296, IEC code ABFFB5548L, and APEDA RCMC. We are also ISO 22000 and HACCP certified, ensuring food safety management. These certifications demonstrate our commitment to quality and compliance with international standards. They are essential for smooth customs clearance and buyer confidence. We provide copies of these certificates upon request for buyer verification.
FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) is the regulatory body for food safety in India. Its license is mandatory for all food businesses, including spice exporters. FSSAI ensures that products meet safety and quality standards. For exporters, FSSAI license number 10251007107816296 verifies our compliance with Indian food laws. It is often required by international buyers as proof of quality. Botanika Bharat LLP maintains a valid FSSAI license to assure buyers of our commitment to safety.
IEC (Import Export Code) is a 10-digit code issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) in India. It is mandatory for any business engaged in import or export. Botanika Bharat LLP's IEC is ABFFB5548L. This code is required for customs clearance, processing shipping bills, and availing export benefits. It also enables us to open letters of credit and receive foreign remittances. Buyers can verify our IEC to ensure we are a legitimate export entity.
APEDA (Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority) RCMC (Registration Cum Membership Certificate) is required for exporting agricultural products from India, including spices. It validates the exporter's credentials and allows them to avail export incentives. Botanika Bharat LLP holds APEDA RCMC, which is essential for smooth export operations.

Whole cinnamon quills have a shelf life of 2-3 years if stored properly, while ground cinnamon lasts 1-2 years. Cinnamon oil and oleoresin have a shelf life of 2-3 years. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, and strong odors. Ideal temperature is below 25°C with relative humidity below 60%. Proper storage preserves volatile oil content and flavor. Botanika Bharat LLP packages products to ensure maximum shelf life and provides storage guidelines.

The EU sets MRLs for pesticides in cinnamon under Regulation (EC) 396/2005. Common limits include 0.05 mg/kg for chlorpyrifos, 0.01 mg/kg for ethion, and 0.05 mg/kg for profenofos. Since cinnamon is a dried bark, MRLs apply to the dried product. We ensure our cinnamon complies with these limits through rigorous testing and good agricultural practices. Always check the latest EU pesticide database for updates.
Yes, RASFF has issued alerts for Indian cinnamon due to pesticide residues (e.g., ethylene oxide, chlorpyrifos) and mycotoxins (aflatoxins). In 2023, several alerts were raised for ethylene oxide in cinnamon. We mitigate this by sourcing from certified farms, conducting pre-shipment testing, and providing COAs. Our FSSAI and ISO 22000 protocols ensure compliance, reducing the risk of border rejections.
Coumarin is not a pesticide but a natural compound in cinnamon. The EU regulates coumarin in certain foods (e.g., bakery) under Regulation (EC) 1334/2008, with limits like 15 mg/kg in traditional bakery. For cinnamon as a spice, no specific MRL exists, but we offer Ceylon cinnamon (low coumarin) for EU buyers concerned about this. Cassia has higher coumarin; we provide COA specifying levels.
EU Regulation (EC) 1881/2006 sets maximum levels for lead (2.0 mg/kg) and cadmium (0.2 mg/kg) in cinnamon. We test every batch using ICP-MS and provide COAs. Our suppliers follow GAP, avoiding contaminated soils. We also monitor for arsenic and mercury. If levels exceed limits, we reject the lot. This ensures smooth customs clearance in the EU.
We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) covering pesticide residues, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and microbiology. Additionally, we supply a declaration of compliance with EU MRLs, a phytosanitary certificate, and a certificate of origin. For specific needs, we can include third-party lab reports from Eurofins or SGS. This documentation facilitates EU border checks and ensures buyer confidence.
Under FSMA, importers must comply with the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP). This means you, as the importer, must verify that we, as the supplier, meet US food safety standards. We provide FSVP documentation, including hazard analysis, preventive controls, and supplier verification. We are also FDA-registered and can assist with your FSVP obligations.
Prior Notice must be filed with FDA before arrival. You can file online via FDA's Prior Notice System Interface (PNSI). We provide all necessary information: manufacturer, shipper, product description, HS code, and expected arrival. We also give you our FDA registration number. Filing must be done no more than 15 days before arrival and at least 4 hours before arrival by air or 8 hours by sea.
The HS code for cinnamon and cinnamon-tree flowers is 0906. For example, 0906.11.00 for Ceylon cinnamon, 0906.19.00 for other cinnamon. US tariff rates vary: Ceylon cinnamon may be duty-free under GSP, while cassia may have a tariff of 2.5% ad valorem. Check the latest HTSUS for updates. We provide correct HS codes on invoices to expedite customs.
Yes, we comply with FDA labeling regulations. Our labels include product name, net weight, ingredient list, country of origin, and allergen statements (cinnamon is not a major allergen). For bulk shipments, we provide labels as per buyer's specs. We also ensure no false claims. For private label, we can design FDA-compliant labels for you.
The FDA does not allow ethylene oxide (EtO) as a sterilant for spices. EtO residues above 7 ppm are considered unsafe. We do not use EtO; instead, we use steam sterilization or irradiation (if approved). We test for EtO residues and provide COAs. This prevents import alerts and ensures compliance with FDA and EU regulations.

Traditional markets like the EU and USA show steady growth, with cinnamon used in baked goods, beverages, and supplements. New markets in Asia and Latin America are increasing usage in savory dishes and ready-to-eat foods. The global shift towards natural flavors and health benefits fuels demand across all regions.
Retail cinnamon requires uniform color, size, and aroma, with tight moisture control (<12%) and minimal defects. Packaging is consumer-friendly, often in jars or pouches. Wholesale specs focus on bulk parameters like volatile oil content (1-2%) and foreign matter (<1%). Retail demands higher visual appeal and consistency.
Industrial grade cinnamon is used for extraction of oil and oleoresin. It prioritizes volatile oil content (2-4%) and low moisture, with less emphasis on appearance. Pricing is based on oil yield, typically 20-30% lower than retail grade. It often includes broken quills and chips, sold in bulk.
Ceylon cinnamon (true cinnamon) is priced 2-3 times higher than Cassia due to lower coumarin and delicate flavor. Wholesale Ceylon quills may range from $10-15/kg, while Cassia is $3-6/kg. Industrial Cassia for extraction can be as low as $2/kg. Prices vary by origin and quality.
Ceylon cinnamon has thin, layered quills, light brown color, and sweet, subtle flavor with low coumarin (<0.004%). Cassia has thicker, single-layer quills, reddish-brown color, and stronger, spicier flavor with higher coumarin (up to 1%). Ceylon is preferred for health-conscious applications, while Cassia is common in baking.
Retail grade commands the highest price due to premium appearance and packaging, often 30-50% above wholesale. Wholesale is mid-range, sold in bulk with consistent quality. Industrial grade is cheapest, focusing on extractable compounds. For example, Ceylon retail quills may be $20/kg, wholesale $12/kg, industrial $8/kg.
In Middle Eastern cooking, cinnamon is a key spice in savory dishes like tagine, kebabs, and rice pilafs. It's also used in sweets such as baklava and kunafa. The warm, sweet flavor balances lamb and chicken. Both Ceylon and Cassia are used, but Cassia is more common for its robust taste.
European cuisines use cinnamon in baked goods like apple strudel, Christmas cookies, and mulled wine. It's essential in French pain d'épices and Dutch speculaas. Ceylon cinnamon is preferred in Western Europe for its delicate flavor, while Cassia is used in some traditional recipes. Demand peaks during winter holidays.
In the USA, cinnamon is popular in breakfast cereals, oatmeal, baked goods, and beverages like lattes. It's also used in savory dishes like chili and barbecue rubs. Cassia dominates due to its strong flavor and lower cost. The health trend has boosted Ceylon cinnamon in supplements and teas.
In Asian cuisines, cinnamon is used in Chinese five-spice, Vietnamese pho, and Indian garam masala. It adds depth to braised meats and curries. Cassia is predominantly used in Asia for its intense flavor. In India, cinnamon is also used in Ayurvedic remedies and masala chai.
In Latin America, cinnamon flavors desserts like arroz con leche, churros, and hot chocolate. It's also used in mole sauces and savory stews. Ceylon cinnamon is often preferred for its sweetness, but Cassia is also common. Mexico imports significant quantities for its confectionery and beverage industries.
India faces competition from Sri Lanka (Ceylon cinnamon), Indonesia, Vietnam, and China (Cassia). Sri Lanka dominates the premium Ceylon market. Indonesia and Vietnam are major Cassia suppliers. China also exports Cassia. India's advantage lies in its diverse spice portfolio and competitive pricing.
Sri Lankan Ceylon cinnamon is considered the gold standard for its superior quills and low coumarin. Indian Ceylon cinnamon, grown in Kerala, is similar but often slightly thicker quills. Both offer delicate flavor. Sri Lanka commands higher prices, but India offers competitive alternatives with comparable quality.
Indonesian Cassia is typically priced 10-15% lower than Indian Cassia due to larger-scale production. Indian Cassia, mainly from Kerala and Tamil Nadu, has higher volatile oil content, justifying a premium. For example, Indian Cassia may be $3.50/kg vs Indonesian $3.00/kg, but quality varies.
Vietnamese Cassia is known for high oil content and strong aroma, often commanding premium prices. Indian Cassia has similar qualities but may have slightly lower oil content. However, Indian Cassia is often preferred for its cleaner flavor profile. Price-wise, Vietnamese Cassia can be 5-10% higher.
Indian cinnamon, both Ceylon and Cassia, is grown with sustainable practices and has lower pesticide residues. Chinese Cassia is cheaper but may have higher coumarin levels. Indian cinnamon offers better traceability and compliance with stringent EU and US regulations, making it a safer choice for buyers.
