Mace supplier in United Arab Emirates

Shipping Mace to United Arab Emirates

United Arab Emirates is a Middle East market that took 9% of India’s spice export value in FY2025-26. Consignments of Mace to United Arab Emirates usually route through Jebel Ali (Dubai).

United Arab Emirates is also a re-export hub, so part of the Mace that lands here moves onward rather than being consumed locally — worth pricing in when you compare quotes.

On entry to United Arab Emirates, Mace classifies under ITC-HS 0908 21 00. Ask us to confirm United Arab Emirates’s current duty on that line before you commit — we would rather verify it than quote a rate that turns out wrong.

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.
