Who supplies Thyme to United States?
YouPals exports Thyme 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 Thyme 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, Thyme classifies under ITC-HS 1211 90 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 — Thyme 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 thyme contract
- Available as dried leaf (whole/cut), thymol-rich thyme oil, and thyme/thymol extract; leaf, oil and extract are distinct products with distinct specs.
- Culinary leaf is graded on green colour, aroma, leaf-to-stem ratio and cleanliness; oil and extract are specified on thymol content, so state the intended use up front.
- Thyme oil and thymol extract are a real demand driver alongside culinary leaf; buyers should specify thymol level and volatile profile for oil/extract lots.
- As a dried herb, leaf carries the pyrrolizidine-alkaloid concern from co-harvested weeds (EU limit 400 µg/kg for dried herbs), so weed-clean sourcing and testing support EU acceptability.
