Mace supplier in China
We export Mace from India to China in bulk — the crimson aril wrapping the nutmeg seed — a separate, higher-value spice from the same fruit.
Who supplies Mace to China?
YouPals exports Mace from India to China in bulk — in the grade and packing you specify, steam-treated and lab-tested to China requirements, from sample quantities up to full container loads.
Shipping Mace to China
China is a East Asia market that took 12% 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 China, Mace classifies under ITC-HS 0908 21 00. Ask us to confirm China’s current duty on that line before you commit — we would rather verify it than quote a rate that turns out wrong.
On China specifically
No dedicated ITC-HS line — Mace is not separable in any trade dataset, so no China-specific figure can exist.
That does not change what we ship you — it only means we will not print a China 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 mace contract
- Available as whole colour-sorted blades, broken/BWP fractions and ground mace; whole blade is the premium form and broken feeds the grinding trade.
- Cleaning is by colour and size sorting plus removal of adhering seed-coat and foreign matter; grade is set on colour, blade wholeness and aroma rather than a single spec number.
- Aflatoxin is the key compliance flag: mace shares the nutmeg group's exposure, and the EU sets aflatoxin limits (5 µg/kg B1, 10 µg/kg total for the nutmeg/mace group) with increased-control border checks, so accredited testing and clean, well-cured lots matter for EU-bound cargo.
- Where sterilisation is required, steam treatment can be coordinated with vetted third-party facilities to preserve colour and aroma; specify the method rather than assuming irradiation.
