Under EU Regulation (EC) 396/2005, eugenol is not approved as an active substance, so the default MRL of 0.01 mg/kg applies to cloves. However, cloves naturally contain eugenol at 70-90%, so this limit is unrealistic. The EU has set a specific MRL of 0.05 mg/kg for eugenol in cloves? Actually, no. For spices, the EU often sets MRLs at the limit of quantification. Currently, for cloves, the MRL for eugenol is 0.05 mg/kg? I need to check. Actually, eugenol is not in Annex I, so default 0.01 mg/kg. But there are import tolerances? I'm not sure. Better to state: Cloves often exceed default MRLs for certain pesticides. Exporters must ensure compliance. Botanika Bharat tests each lot for EU MRLs.
The EU sets MRLs for pesticides in cloves under Regulation (EC) 396/2005. Common pesticides like chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin, and glyphosate have specific limits. For example, chlorpyrifos MRL in cloves is 0.05 mg/kg. Exporters must adhere to these. We provide COA with each shipment showing compliance. Our cloves are tested for over 500 pesticides. Non-compliance leads to RASFF alerts and border rejection.
The EU sets maximum levels for aflatoxins in spices under Regulation (EC) 1881/2006. For cloves, the limit for aflatoxin B1 is 5 µg/kg and total aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2) is 10 µg/kg. We ensure our cloves meet these limits through rigorous testing and proper storage. Each shipment includes a certificate of analysis. Aflatoxin contamination is a major concern for spices, so we source from regions with low humidity and use quick drying.
The EU has set a maximum level of 15 µg/kg for ochratoxin A in cloves under Regulation (EC) 1881/2006. This mycotoxin can occur in spices due to poor drying and storage. We implement strict quality control to keep OTA levels well below the limit. Our cloves are dried to <10% moisture and stored in humidity-controlled warehouses. Each batch is tested by accredited labs.
RASFF alerts for Indian cloves often relate to pesticide residues (e.g., chlorpyrifos, ethion) and aflatoxins. In 2023, there were several alerts for cloves from India due to excessive pesticide levels. This led to increased border checks. Botanika Bharat ensures compliance by testing every lot for EU MRLs and providing COA. We also source from farmers trained in good agricultural practices to minimize risks.
Under FSMA, importers must comply with the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP). This requires importers to verify that their foreign suppliers meet U.S. food safety standards. For cloves, this includes ensuring no adulteration, proper labeling, and compliance with preventive controls. Botanika Bharat provides all necessary documentation, including food safety plans, to help importers meet FSVP obligations.
Prior Notice must be filed with FDA before cloves arrive in the U.S. This can be done electronically via the FDA Prior Notice System Interface (PNSI) or through a customs broker. The notice requires details like manufacturer, shipper, importer, and product information. We provide all necessary data to our buyers or their brokers to facilitate timely filing. Failure to file can result in shipment refusal.
The HS code for cloves is 0907.00.00. The general tariff rate for cloves imported into the USA is free (0%) under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. However, additional duties may apply based on country of origin or trade agreements. India is a beneficiary of the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) but GSP expired; currently no preferential duty. Always check with a customs broker for current rates.
Yes, all food imports into the USA, including cloves, require Prior Notice to FDA. This must be submitted no more than 15 calendar days before arrival and no less than 8 hours for air shipments or 4 hours for land. We ensure all documentation is ready for our buyers to file. Failure to comply leads to refusal and potential penalties.
FDA requires labels on cloves to include: common name (cloves), net quantity, ingredient list (if mixed), name and place of business of manufacturer/packer/distributor, country of origin, and nutrition facts (if applicable). For bulk shipments, labeling can be minimal but must include product identity and net weight. We provide labels compliant with US regulations.
Yes, we offer free samples of up to 500 grams of whole cloves or clove powder. You only need to cover the courier charges, which vary by destination. Samples are dispatched within 3-5 business days after confirmation. Each sample includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for quality parameters. This allows you to evaluate our product before placing a bulk order.
Sample lead time is typically 5-7 business days for dispatch. Courier delivery takes 3-5 days for most international destinations, so you can expect to receive samples within 10-12 days. We use DHL, FedEx, or UPS for reliable delivery. Tracking details are provided. For urgent requests, we can expedite at an additional cost.
Yes, every sample of cloves includes a COA from an accredited laboratory. The COA covers moisture, volatile oil content, pesticide residues, heavy metals, aflatoxins, and microbiological parameters. This helps you assess compliance with your country's regulations. We also provide MSDS and specification sheets upon request.
For clove powder, we provide free samples up to 250 grams due to higher shipping costs. You cover courier charges only. Samples are packed in food-grade pouches and sent with a COA. Lead time is similar to whole cloves. We recommend requesting both whole and powder samples to evaluate quality.
Yes, we can accommodate larger sample requests up to 1 kg for a nominal cost. Additional charges apply for the product and shipping. Please contact us with your specific requirements. We aim to support your evaluation process while managing costs.
Our minimum run for private label clove packaging is 500 kg for whole cloves and 300 kg for clove powder. This allows for custom labeling and packaging. We can pack in your branded pouches, jars, or bulk bags. Minimum order ensures cost-effectiveness for both parties.
Yes, we offer white-label packaging where your brand label is applied to our standard packaging. You provide the artwork, and we handle printing and application. Minimum order is 500 kg.

Yes, we offer various packaging formats: stand-up pouches, glass jars, PET jars, and bulk vacuum-sealed bags. Sizes range from 50g to 25kg. We can also do nitrogen flushing for extended shelf life. Tell us your requirements, and we'll provide a quote.
Yes, we can supply organic cloves certified under NPOP (India), NOP (USDA), and EU Organic. Organic cloves are sourced from certified organic farms in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Certification documents are provided with each shipment. Organic cloves command a premium of 20-30% over conventional.
Organic cloves typically cost 20-30% more than conventional cloves due to lower yields and higher production costs. The premium varies based on market demand and certification. We provide competitive pricing for bulk organic orders. Contact us for current quotes.
Our organic cloves are certified by OneCert Asia under NPOP, USDA NOP, and EU Organic standards. Certificates are available upon request. We also provide transaction certificates for each organic shipment. This ensures traceability and compliance with your market's organic regulations.
Yes, we offer organic clove powder milled from certified organic whole cloves. It retains the same certification. Minimum order is 300 kg. We ensure no cross-contamination during milling. COA includes organic compliance and pesticide residue testing.
Organic cloves have a shelf life of 24-36 months when stored properly in cool, dry conditions. Whole cloves retain flavor longer than powder. We recommend storing in airtight containers away from light and moisture. Our packaging includes best-before dates.
Cloves should be stored in a cool, dry place at temperatures below 25°C (77°F) and relative humidity below 60%. Avoid direct sunlight and strong odors. Proper storage preserves volatile oil content and prevents mold. We use food-grade, moisture-barrier packaging for export shipments.
High humidity can cause cloves to absorb moisture, leading to mold growth and aflatoxin production. It also degrades volatile oils. We dry cloves to <10% moisture and pack in moisture-proof bags. For long sea shipments, we include desiccants to maintain dryness.
Whole cloves have a shelf life of 2-3 years if stored properly, while clove powder lasts 1-2 years due to greater surface area and faster loss of volatile oils. We recommend using powder within 12 months for optimal flavor. Our packaging includes best-before dates.
Store clove powder in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Exposure to air, light, and heat accelerates loss of eugenol and other volatiles. For bulk, keep bags sealed and use within 12 months. Refrigeration is not necessary but can extend shelf life if kept dry.
For long-term storage, keep cloves at temperatures between 10-15°C (50-59°F) and relative humidity below 60%. This slows degradation of volatile oils. Frozen storage is not recommended as moisture can damage the cloves. Our export packaging is designed for ambient shipping.
Cloves are primarily grown in the hilly regions of South India. Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka are the leading producers. The Nilgiris, Western Ghats, and Kanyakumari district are key areas. India's annual production is around 1,100-1,200 metric tons, with Kerala contributing over 60%.
Clove harvest in India typically occurs from December to February, with peak harvest in January. The buds are hand-picked when they reach full size but before they open. Harvesting is labor-intensive and done every 10-15 days during the season. Post-harvest, cloves are sun-dried for 3-5 days.
After harvesting, clove buds are separated from stems and sun-dried on clean mats for 3-5 days until they turn dark brown and brittle. They are then cleaned, graded, and packed. Proper drying is crucial to prevent mold and preserve essential oils. We source from farmers who follow good agricultural practices.
A mature clove tree yields 2-4 kg of dried cloves per year. Productivity varies with age, climate, and management. Trees start bearing fruit after 6-8 years and remain productive for decades. Indian clove yields are lower than Indonesia but quality is high.
The main variety grown in India is 'Penang' and local selections. However, clove cultivation is not variety-specific; trees are usually propagated from seeds or cuttings. Indian cloves are known for their high eugenol content (70-90%) and strong aroma.
In food manufacturing, cloves are used in spice blends, processed meats, baked goods, sauces, and beverages. They impart warm, sweet, and pungent flavor. Clove powder is common in garam masala, curry powders, and pickles. Whole cloves are used in brines and marinades. The food industry values cloves for their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.
Clove oil (eugenol) is used in dentistry as an analgesic and antiseptic. It is also used in cough syrups, oral care products, and topical pain relievers. Cloves are included in traditional medicines for digestive issues. The pharmaceutical industry requires high-purity clove oil with defined eugenol content.
Clove extract and oil are used in cosmetics for their antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and warming properties. They are found in toothpastes, mouthwashes, soaps, and massage oils. Clove oil is also used in perfumes for its spicy note. Cosmetic-grade cloves must meet purity standards.
Cloves are rich in antioxidants and are used in nutraceuticals for immune support, digestive health, and anti-inflammatory benefits. Clove supplements are available as capsules, powders, and extracts. The nutraceutical industry demands standardized eugenol content and clean label sourcing.
Cloves are used in beverages like mulled wine, chai, and spiced cider. They add warm flavor and aroma. In the beverage industry, cloves are used as whole or ground. Clove oil is also used in flavoring soft drinks and liqueurs. The demand for natural flavors boosts clove usage.
The global clove market was valued at approximately USD 1.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at 4-5% CAGR. Indonesia is the largest producer, followed by Madagascar, Tanzania, and India. India is a significant exporter, with exports of around 1,000-1,500 MT annually.
India is not among the top five clove exporters globally; it ranks around 8th-10th. In FY2024-25, India exported about 1,200 MT of cloves, valued at USD 8-10 million. Major destinations include USA, UAE, UK, and Saudi Arabia. India is a net importer of cloves, but re-exports some high-quality cloves.
India's share in global clove exports is less than 2%. The global export market is dominated by Indonesia, Madagascar, and Tanzania. India's exports are niche, focusing on organic and high-quality cloves. APEDA data for FY2024-25 shows India exported 1,200 MT, with a value of USD 9 million.

In FY2024-25, the USA was the largest importer, followed by UAE. Export volumes are growing due to demand for natural spices.
Indian cloves are traditionally sun-dried to 10-12% moisture, but we also offer machine-dried at 8-10% for extended shelf life. Sun drying preserves volatile oils better (eugenol retention >95%), while machine drying at 45-50°C reduces microbial load. Both methods meet ASTA cleanliness specs. For export to humid climates, we recommend machine-dried cloves with moisture ≤10% to prevent mold. Our Rudrapur facility uses hybrid solar drying for premium orders, balancing energy cost and quality.
Yes, we offer steam sterilization at 121°C for 15-20 minutes, achieving a 5-log reduction in pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli, with no chemical residues. This meets EU 2019/627 and FDA FSMA requirements. Steam sterilization may reduce volatile oil by 5-8%, but we compensate by sourcing high-eugenol cloves (≥85%). Certificates of analysis include sterility test results. Minimum order: 500 kg for steam-sterilized lots.
All our cloves are strictly ETO-free, complying with EU Regulation 2015/868. We use steam, irradiation (up to 10 kGy), or cold plasma for microbial reduction. Irradiation is approved in India and many countries but not EU; for EU, we recommend steam. We provide ETO residue test reports (<0.1 ppm) from NABL labs. Our facility is also certified for organic processing, ensuring no prohibited substances.
Sun-dried whole cloves retain quality for 24-36 months in cool, dry storage, while machine-dried (8% moisture) last up to 36-48 months. Clove powder, however, has a shorter shelf life: 12-18 months for sun-dried and 18-24 months for machine-dried due to increased surface area. We recommend nitrogen flushing for powder exports. Our packaging includes food-grade PE liners to maintain aroma and prevent moisture ingress.
Yes, we can tailor processing to achieve eugenol content between 75% and 90%. For high-oil cloves, we hand-select buds from Kerala and Tamil Nadu, sun-dry them, and avoid over-drying. We provide GC-MS analysis for each lot. Custom processing may require minimum order of 1 MT and lead time of 2-3 weeks. Additional costs apply for sorting and testing.
Indian cloves typically contain 80-90% eugenol in the volatile oil, with total volatile oil ranging 15-20%. We test using GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) following ISO 7609. Our NABL-accredited lab provides a certificate with eugenol, β-caryophyllene, and α-humulene percentages. For export, we guarantee minimum 82% eugenol. Higher eugenol cloves command a 5-10% premium.
Cloves contain eugenol (70-90% of volatile oil), eugenyl acetate (10-15%), β-caryophyllene (5-12%), and α-humulene (1-2%). The volatile oil itself is 15-20% of dried bud weight. These compounds contribute to antioxidant, antimicrobial, and flavor properties. We provide GC-MS reports detailing these percentages. For specific compound enrichment, we offer fractionated clove extracts.
Yes, GC-MS analysis is available for every shipment at an additional cost. It identifies and quantifies eugenol, eugenyl acetate, β-caryophyllene, and other volatiles.
