Saffron supplier in Nepal
We export Saffron from India to Nepal in bulk — kashmir’s GI-tagged Mongra saffron — among the world’s highest-crocin, and sold by the gram, not the tonne.
Who supplies Saffron to Nepal?
YouPals exports Saffron from India to Nepal in bulk — in the grade and packing you specify, steam-treated and lab-tested to Nepal requirements, from sample quantities up to full container loads.
Shipping Saffron to Nepal
Nepal is a South 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 Nepal, Saffron classifies under ITC-HS 0910 20 10. Ask us to confirm Nepal’s current duty on that line before you commit — we would rather verify it than quote a rate that turns out wrong.
On Nepal specifically
No dedicated ITC-HS line — Saffron is not separable in any trade dataset, so no Nepal-specific figure can exist.
That does not change what we ship you — it only means we will not print a Nepal 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 saffron contract
- Available as whole threads by grade (Mongra/Lachha, Guchhi) and, for some buyers, as standardised saffron extract
- Graded on the three ISO-style axes qualitatively stated on this site: colouring strength (crocin), aroma (safranal) and flavour/bitterness (picrocrocin), plus the proportion of pure red stigma to yellow style
- Kashmir saffron carries a GI registration and is noted as among the world's highest-crocin saffron; specify GI provenance where authenticity and grade matter (sourceKey giRegistry)
- Authenticity/adulteration is the central compliance flag: dyed safflower, maize-silk substitution, added colourant and moisture loading are the known frauds, so laboratory grading and provenance verification are essential
