Turmeric supplier in Japan
We export Turmeric from India to Japan in bulk — curcumin is an origin fact, not a grade you can dial up — Alleppey finger’s 4–6% floor sits above Nizamabad’s ceiling.
Who supplies Turmeric to Japan?
YouPals exports Turmeric 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 Turmeric 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, Turmeric classifies under ITC-HS 0910 30 10. 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.
Turmeric grades we ship to Japan
| Grade | Specification | Bought for |
|---|---|---|
| Alleppey Finger Turmeric | 4–6% curcumin | The high-curcumin finger — 4–6%, the grade nutraceutical and colour buyers target. (A traded grade, not a GI.) |
| Erode Finger Turmeric | 2.5–3% curcumin | The GI Erode finger — 2.5–3% curcumin, bright colour, the Tamil Nadu benchmark. |
| Nizamabad Bulb Turmeric | 1.5–2.25% curcumin | High-volume Telangana bulb at 1.5–2.25% curcumin — the commodity tier, priced below the fingers. |
On Japan specifically
We hold no Japan-specific duty, border-check or trade figure for Turmeric. The page shows Turmeric's own verified data instead.
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 turmeric contract
- Available as finger and bulb whole rhizome, powder, and as oleoresin and curcumin extract
- Specify curcumin percentage, finger vs bulb, moisture (export finger typically ≤12%), colour and polish, with the test method stated
- Curcumin is origin-driven, so buyers targeting high curcumin should specify an Alleppey-type/high-curcumin grade rather than expect processing to raise it
- Cleaned and polished; powder is milled to a specified mesh and colour; extracts are bought on standardised curcumin content
Compliance we ship against
Frequently asked
Can I import Turmeric from India into Japan?
Yes. We export Turmeric from India to Japan. We publish Turmeric's verified specification here; we do not publish a Japan-specific duty figure we have not confirmed.
How much curcumin should export turmeric have?
It depends on origin and use. Alleppey-type finger turmeric runs 4–6% curcumin (nutraceutical/colour buyers target this); Erode is ~2.5–3%; high-volume Nizamabad bulb is ~1.5–2.25%. The curcumin figure and test method should be stated on the contract.
What is lead chromate in turmeric and how is it avoided?
Lead chromate is an illegal yellow pigment sometimes added to brighten turmeric. It is avoided by sourcing traceable lots and requiring accredited heavy-metal (lead) test reports on every consignment.
