Basmati rice export from India to Reunion
Réunion is French territory and an EU outermost region, so EU residue limits and labelling apply in the middle of the Indian Ocean. We ship to that standard.

Can you export rice from India to Reunion?
Yes. Om Prasadam exports Basmati and Non-Basmati rice from India to Réunion under APEDA registration, shipping to Port Réunion at Pointe des Galets in sixteen to twenty days. The point buyers sometimes miss is that Réunion is a French overseas department and an EU outermost region: European food law applies, including maximum residue levels and food information labelling requirements, even though the island sits off Madagascar. We ship residue-tested grades with NABL analysis per lot and French labelling to EU rules. Rice is a daily staple here, and the Indian-descended population buys Basmati by variety.

Compliance
Documentation for Reunion import clearance
Most rice consignments that get held up are held on paperwork, not on quality. We prepare the file before the container is booked so your clearing agent is never waiting on us.
- EU food law applies. As an EU outermost region, Réunion applies European maximum residue levels and food information rules. Lots ship with NABL-accredited analysis against 350-plus residues tested to EU limits.
- French labelling. French labels applied at the mill to EU food information requirements, with net weight, origin, dates, nutrition declaration and importer details.
- Contaminant testing. Aflatoxin and heavy-metal testing per lot alongside the residue panel, as EU entry controls cover both.
- Traceability. Lot-level traceability from paddy intake to container, as EU food law requires.
- Export documentation. Phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, health certificate, commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading.
