Exporter: Hello, I am Kishan Barai from Barai Overseas
"Is this “SSP Foods”
Importer: Yes
Exporter: Hi there! My company specializes in the export of spices like whole spices, ground spices, and blended spices. I wanted to know if you're interested in learning more about such products?
Importer: We're sorry, but we've been working with a few spice vendors for over two decades and we're not interested in working with any new vendors at this time.
Exporter: We never intended to break your current business model or disrupt your current system. We were only concerned that if you had given us an opportunity to speak, we could have provided some valuable input that could improve your line of spices business.
Importer: OK go ahead
Exporter: Thank you. You might be aware that the quality of spices is the main concern when it comes to importing and the major buying countries have established tighter Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) or revoked the approval of some commonly used pesticides.
Importer: Yes, that’s correct
Exporter: The Ethylene Oxide contamination (ETO) on spices for shipment to Europe has become a major point of concern. Many European countries have set very tight ETO and, in some cases, have even revoked the approval of its use. This has created a big problem for spices exporters and also importers, as ETO is a common fumigant used to control pests and prevent fungal growth during storage.
Importer: We are very cautious with new exporters because we have had MRL issues with our established suppliers but your voice sounds interesting to us, and we would like to learn more about you and how you can help…
Exporter: Thank you very much ma’am, I understand that you may be hesitant to trust us since we are calling you out of the blue, but we are not trying to sell you anything. Our intention is that we genuinely want to help solve your current problem.
Importer: Very good! Please continue.
Exporter: Now let me help you with the solution
Importer: Hmm
Exporter:
- When purchasing from any supplier of spices, check the quality lab report. Pre and Post Shipment Both.
- Always rely on experienced suppliers of spices.

- While procurement of raw material of spices from local mandis or APMC at the time checks Physical analysis.
- The spices supplier should hold a large stock of local spices and Export quality spices so check with export quality when the order confirmation.
- When u give an overseas importer a spices sample at a time, he assures that the same Product requires when exporting this spices product because the overseas customers also do sample quality lab reports and when importing at the time also check the quality report so be alert.
- If you are a new exporter then get a purchase via a Reputed distributor while spices purchase for export.
- Check the quality of spices like whole chilly then check the parameters of aflatoxin in the lab report if u found a serious report so do not send this type of product to overseas markets.
