Bay Leaf supplier in Canada
We export Bay Leaf from India to Canada in bulk — true Mediterranean bay (Laurus nobilis) — not to be confused with the Cinnamomum "Indian bay leaf" (tejpat).
Who supplies Bay Leaf to Canada?
YouPals exports Bay Leaf from India to Canada in bulk — in the grade and packing you specify, steam-treated and lab-tested to Canada requirements, from sample quantities up to full container loads.
Shipping Bay Leaf to Canada
Canada is a North America 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 Canada, Bay Leaf classifies under ITC-HS 0910 99 99. Ask us to confirm Canada’s current duty on that line before you commit — we would rather verify it than quote a rate that turns out wrong.
On Canada specifically
No dedicated ITC-HS line — Bay Leaf is not separable in any trade dataset, so no Canada-specific figure can exist.
That does not change what we ship you — it only means we will not print a Canada 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 bay leaf contract
- Pin the botanical name on every enquiry: Laurus nobilis (true bay) and Cinnamomum tamala (tejpat) are different spices with different aromas and are not interchangeable
- Available whole (hand-selected or field-run) and ground; whole leaf is the premium and most verifiable format
- Grading turns on whole unbroken leaves, even colour, aroma retention and freedom from yellowing, spotting and stalk
- Cleaning, de-stemming and grading are coordinated with vetted third-party processors rather than owned lines
