Cumin supplier in Japan
We export Cumin from India to Japan in bulk — india produces the bulk of the world’s cumin and prices it every morning at Unjha — but the EU now checks Indian cumin at 30% for pesticides.
Who supplies Cumin to Japan?
YouPals exports Cumin 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 Cumin 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, Cumin classifies under ITC-HS 0909 31 00. 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.
Cumin grades we ship to Japan
| Grade | Specification | Bought for |
|---|---|---|
| Cumin Europe Quality 99.5% | 99.5% purity | Machine-cleaned, sortex-sorted cumin at 99.5% purity — the grade EU buyers specify. |
| Cumin Singapore Quality 99% | 99% purity | The 99%-purity "Singapore quality" cumin — the widely-traded standard grade. |
On Japan specifically
We hold no Japan-specific duty, border-check or trade figure for Cumin. The page shows Cumin's own verified data instead.
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.

Frequently asked
Can I import Cumin from India into Japan?
Yes. We export Cumin from India to Japan. We publish Cumin's verified specification here; we do not publish a Japan-specific duty figure we have not confirmed.
What are the export purity grades of Indian cumin?
"Singapore quality" is 99% pure; "Europe quality" is 99.5%; both are typically machine-cleaned and sortex-sorted to remove foreign matter. Purity percentage and cleaning method are specified on the contract.
Is Indian cumin subject to extra EU border checks?
Yes. Under Reg. (EU) 2019/1793 cumin from India is listed for increased official controls at a 30% check rate for pesticide residues (raised in January 2025). A recent accredited residue panel is effectively required for EU shipments.
