The four questions every importer asks first

  • Is it 100 percent chilli?

    Yes. Nothing added. A custom blend declares every ingredient by percentage.

  • Steam or ETO?

    Your market decides. Steam for the EU and UK, ETO where permitted, untreated for extractors. Lots are never mixed.

  • Can we see a lab report first?

    Yes. A recent NABL-accredited report comes with the quotation. A batch certificate travels with every shipment.

  • How fast are samples and quotes?

    Quotes within one working day. Samples of 250 g to 1 kg by courier within five working days.
