Product Range and Specialties of HGC International

The catalogue covers major Indian export commodities. Pulses such as Black Gram, Gram, Moong Dal and Urad Dal fall under HS Chapter 07 (0713) and are typically graded by moisture content (<12 %), impurity level (<2 %) and size range (6‑12 mm). Basmati rice (HS 1006.30) is usually exported in 25 kg bags with a length‑to‑width ratio above 6.5, moisture ≤14 % and a broken grain rate under 5 %. Sunflower oil (HS 1515) is shipped in 1 ton bulk containers or 200 L drums, meeting a free fatty acid (FFA) limit of ≤0.1 % and an iodine value of 110‑130. Rose Water (HS 3301.29) is a steam‑distilled Rosa damascena hydrosol, commonly required to meet ISO 9001 quality management and a minimum aromatic content of 0.5 % v/v. Indian cotton textiles are classified under HS 6203‑6205; typical specifications include 150‑180 gsm for shirts, 100‑130 gsm for kurti fabrics, and a thread count of 120‑150 for silk sarees. Incense sticks are grouped in HS 3307 and are usually evaluated for burn time (30‑45 min) and fragrance intensity measured by gas chromatography.

Trade and Export Information - HGC International

India is a leading exporter of pulses, basmati rice, edible oils and cotton textiles. Major import markets include the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Kenya, where buyers often require HACCP or FSSAI compliance for food items and ISO 9001 for cosmetics. HS Chapter 07 pulses are subject to phytosanitary certification under the Indian Plant Quarantine (IPQ) system, while rice shipments must include a phytosanitary certificate and, for organic varieties, an APEDA organic certificate. Sunflower oil exports typically use FOB Mumbai or FOB Chennai, with containers packed in 20‑ft or 40‑ft units and insulated to prevent oxidation. Textile shipments follow standard FOB terms from the textile hubs of Tirupur or Surat, with garments packed in poly‑bagged cartons (typically 20 - 30 kg per carton) and labelled per HS 6203‑6205 requirements. Rose Water and incense sticks are usually shipped as small parcels (up to 500 kg) under HS 3301 and 3307, with MSDS and a Certificate of Analysis accompanying each batch.

Sourcing from HGC International - Buyer Guidance

When sourcing pulses from HGC International, buyers should request a recent Certificate of Analysis showing moisture, ash, protein and pesticide residue levels, as well as the mandatory phytosanitary certificate. For Basmati rice, request the grain length distribution report, moisture content, broken grain percentage and, if claimed organic, the APEDA organic certificate. Sunflower oil buyers typically ask for a free‑fatty‑acid test, peroxide value and a batch‑wise Certificate of Analysis; packaging details (1 ton bulk or 200 L drums) should be confirmed before order. Textile purchasers need to verify fabric GSM, thread count, colourfastness test results and, where applicable, the existence of an ISO 9001 quality system. For Rose Water and incense sticks, obtain a Material Safety Data Sheet, a batch certificate confirming the raw material source, and any relevant fragrance‑industry test reports. Confirm lead times (generally 30‑45 days for food items, 45‑60 days for apparel) and minimum order quantities before finalising the contract.
