Every lot for Germany is tested for ethylene oxide before it is packed, and leaves India with the official certificate and lab results where the spice is listed.

Listed consignments are pre-notified on a CHED-D in TRACES NT. Your side files that entry, and we send the certificate and lab results that go with it.
