Who supplies Poppy Seed to United Arab Emirates?

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

Shipping Poppy Seed 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 Poppy Seed to United Arab Emirates usually route through Jebel Ali (Dubai).

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

On entry to United Arab Emirates, Poppy Seed classifies under ITC-HS 1207 91 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.

On United Arab Emirates specifically

No dedicated ITC-HS line — Poppy Seed is not separable in any trade dataset, so no United Arab Emirates-specific figure can exist.

That does not change what we ship you — it only means we will not print a United Arab Emirates 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 poppy seed contract

  • Trade is administered, not free-market: cultivation of the opium poppy is licensed and narcotics-regulated, so provenance, permits and documentation govern availability and quantities.
  • The ripe seed itself is opiate-free (alkaloids are in the unripe pod latex), which is why the food seed trades legitimately even though the crop is controlled; buyers should still expect regulatory paperwork.
  • Available as whole clean seed and as cold-pressed poppy-seed oil; the white/cream type is the culinary standard for Indian buyers.
  • Graded on colour (bright cream-white), uniformity, cleanliness and freedom from grit; sortex/cleaning removes stone, dust and foreign matter.
