Tamarind supplier in Japan
We export Tamarind from India to Japan in bulk — a high-volume souring fruit — exported as pods, deseeded pulp, paste and concentrate to the food-manufacturing trade.
Who supplies Tamarind to Japan?
YouPals exports Tamarind 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 Tamarind 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, Tamarind classifies under ITC-HS 0810 90 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.
On Japan specifically
No dedicated ITC-HS line — Tamarind is not separable in any trade dataset, so no Japan-specific figure can exist.
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.

What to specify on a tamarind contract
- Available as whole pods, deseeded slab/block pulp, ready-to-use paste and standardised concentrate; each form suits a different buyer, so specify the form up front.
- Deseeded pulp is graded on freedom from seed, shell and fibre, on colour (reddish-brown vs darker) and on moisture; concentrate is graded on standardised acidity and solids.
- Cleaning and deseeding to a specified seed/fibre tolerance is the core processing step and can be coordinated with vetted third parties; sortex/sieving removes grit and shell.
- High moisture and natural sugars make pulp prone to fermentation and mould if under-dried or poorly stored, so moisture control and cool storage set shelf life; new-crop pulp holds the best colour.
