What the Himachali Kala Zeera GI means for sourcing
A Geographical Indication ties caraway from himachal-pradesh to a defined origin and its qualities, registered under application 432 and held by Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh. Buyers who need documented provenance — private-label brands, premium retail, and importers whose own customers ask for it — specify the GI on the contract. Because this registration had lapsed on the Board’s register, treat a GI claim on the carton as unverified until you check the live status.
For grades, specification and the wider trade in this spice, see the Caraway export page. We also ship it to buyers worldwide — tell us your market and grade and we will quote it.
