About Tinmai Co., Ltd. - Tapioca Starch Supplier in Viet Nam

Tinmai Co., Ltd. is based in Viet Nam and currently lists seven active products on its catalogue. The supplier is classified as an imported tier with a harbor trust tier, indicating it operates through established Vietnamese export channels. Its product list comprises four black pepper items - Black Pepper FAQ 500 g/l, Black Pepper FAQ 550 g/l, Black Pepper Spiral Cleaned and White Pepper Double Washed - together with three tapioca‑related items: Tapioca Starch, Tapioca Starch from Vietnam and a generic Tapioca product. Each entry is presented under the broad categories of spices and starches, matching the typical HS‑code families for pepper (0904) and starch (1101) without specifying exact codes.

The catalogue reflects a focus on both spice and carbohydrate raw materials, with the black pepper variants covering different packaging sizes and processing levels, and the tapioca items covering native starch and bulk tapioca. Although the supplier does not disclose certifications, the product titles suggest standard food‑grade specifications that buyers can verify through documentation. The range of seven items indicates a targeted portfolio rather than a broad commodity spread, allowing buyers to assess each line individually.

Product Range and Specialties of Tinmai Co., Ltd.

The black pepper offerings include two FAQ (fine aromatic quality) grades packaged in 500 g and 550 g containers, a spiral‑cleaned bulk form, and a double‑washed white pepper. In the global pepper market, FAQ grades are usually assessed by size (e.g., 5 mm  -  7 mm), moisture content below 12 %, and essential oil content above 1.5 %. White pepper double‑washed typically meets a moisture limit of 10 % and a pungency index measured by piperine content. The tapioca starch entries are presented as generic starch and a Vietnam‑origin specific batch; industry standards for tapioca starch call for a purity of 99 % ± 0.5 %, moisture not exceeding 13 %, and a particle size distribution around 100 µm. Common packaging formats include 25 kg polypropylene bags for bulk starch and 500 g or 1 kg sealed containers for spice products.

Trade and Export Information - Tinmai Co., Ltd.

Vietnam ranks among the top exporters of black pepper, supplying the European Union, United States, Middle East and Southeast Asian markets. Tapioca starch from Vietnam is similarly directed to food processors in China, the United States, and the European Union, where it is used for bakery, confectionery and gluten‑free formulations. Buyers typically require phytosanitary certificates, a Certificate of Origin, and food‑safety certifications such as ISO 22000 or HACCP for both spices and starches. Logistics for these commodities often involve 20 ft or 40 ft containers, with standard Incoterms of FOB Ho Chi Minh Port or CIF to the destination port. Export documentation also includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and, where required, a fumigation certificate for spice shipments.
