Tejpat supplier in United States
We export Tejpat from India to United States in bulk — the true "Indian bay leaf" — a Cinnamomum leaf, botanically distinct from Mediterranean Laurus bay.
Who supplies Tejpat to United States?
YouPals exports Tejpat from India to United States in bulk — in the grade and packing you specify, steam-treated and lab-tested to United States requirements, from sample quantities up to full container loads.
Shipping Tejpat to United States
United States is a North America market that took 14% 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 United States, Tejpat classifies under ITC-HS 0910 99 99. Ask us to confirm United States’s current duty on that line before you commit — we would rather verify it than quote a rate that turns out wrong.
On United States specifically
No dedicated ITC-HS line — Tejpat is not separable in any trade dataset, so no United States-specific figure can exist.
That does not change what we ship you — it only means we will not print a United States 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 tejpat contract
- Available as whole dried leaf (graded by leaf size and whole-leaf percentage) and, in niche volumes, as tejpat leaf oil
- Graded on leaf size, proportion of intact whole leaves versus broken/crushed, colour and, above all, aroma strength and cleanliness
- Botanical authenticity is the key flag: specify Cinnamomum tamala to avoid substitution with Laurus bay or other look-alike leaves; the three-veined leaf is a useful visual check
- Uttarakhand tejpat holds a GI registration; specify GI origin where single-origin provenance matters
