Who supplies Basil to Japan?

YouPals exports Basil from India to Japan in bulk — in the grade and packing you specify, steam-treated and lab-tested to Japan requirements, from sample quantities up to full container loads.

Shipping Basil to Japan

Japan is a East Asia market that took 2% of India’s spice export value in FY2025-26. We ship from the Indian gateway ports — Mundra and Nhava Sheva on the west coast, Cochin and Tuticorin in the south — on the sailing that fits your schedule.

On entry to Japan, Basil classifies under ITC-HS 1211 90 99. Ask us to confirm Japan’s current duty on that line before you commit — we would rather verify it than quote a rate that turns out wrong.

On Japan specifically

No dedicated ITC-HS line — Basil is not separable in any trade dataset, so no Japan-specific figure can exist.

That does not change what we ship you — it only means we will not print a Japan duty figure we have not verified. Ask us and we will confirm the current rate for your HS line before you commit.

What to specify on a basil contract

Available as dried leaf (specify cut size), cleaned basil/sabja seed, and basil essential oil; these are three different products with different buyers.
Dried leaf is graded on green colour retention, aroma and freedom from stem and foreign matter; basil seed is graded on swell, cleanliness and freedom from immature/foreign seed.
As a dried herb, basil leaf carries the pyrrolizidine-alkaloid concern from co-harvested weeds (EU limit 400 µg/kg for dried herbs), so weed-clean sourcing and testing support EU acceptability.
Where microbial reduction is needed, steam treatment on dried leaf can be coordinated with vetted third parties to protect colour and volatile oil.
