Frequently Asked Questions — Almonds Export from India
What is the difference between California and Indian almonds?
California almonds (Non Pareil, NPX) are larger with thinner shells, premium taste, and higher price. Indian almonds (Mamra, Gurbandi) are smaller, sweeter, more aromatic, traditionally preferred in South Asia and Gulf markets. Both are nutrient-rich.
Which almond grade is best for export to Gulf countries?
California NP and NPX are the top premium export grades to high-end retailers, with best FOB pricing for bulk buyers. Mamra and Gurbandi are increasingly popular in UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar for their distinctive sweet taste and cultural preference. As an APEDA registered exporter, we ensure reliable quality and on-time delivery.
What is the HS code for almond export?
Almonds fall under HS code 0802 12 00 (Almonds, shelled). We provide correct HS codes on all export documentation and commercial invoices.

Do you export roasted or salted almonds?
Yes, we export both raw and roasted almonds. Roasted varieties include plain roasted, salted, and lightly salted. Roasted almonds have slightly longer lead times due to additional processing.

All almonds are FSSAI certified for food safety. We are IEC registered (CSWPM1284L) and APEDA registered. We provide phytosanitary certificates, fumigation certificates, certificate of origin, and lab test reports with every shipment.
