What the Uttarakhand Tejpat GI means for sourcing
A Geographical Indication ties tejpat from uttarakhand to a defined origin and its qualities, registered under application 520 and held by Chamoli, Uttarakhand. 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 Tejpat export page. We also ship it to buyers worldwide — tell us your market and grade and we will quote it.
