Indian spice exporter to Japan, with a residue panel on every lot.
Grown for us on contract. Before loading, every lot for Japan runs a residue panel that includes ethylene oxide, which Japan does not permit.
For Japan, any residue without its own limit must stay under 0.01 mg/kg, so every lot we ship there runs a full residue panel.
Your side files the Food Sanitation Act import notification. We send the Positive List residue report that goes with it.
