Compliance
Documents for importing whole washed black gram into the United States
The United States regulates imported food through the US Food and Drug Administration. These are the documents and checks prepared for whole washed black gram consignments, as each one requires:
- FDA facility registration and Prior Notice. Our facility is registered with the US FDA, and Prior Notice is filed before the vessel or flight arrives, as the Bioterrorism Act requires.
- FSVP support. Your Foreign Supplier Verification Program must verify us as a supplier; we provide the hazard analysis, lot test reports and certificates it needs.
- US food labelling. Retail packs carry FDA-format labelling: English, a Nutrition Facts panel where the product requires one, allergen declaration, net weight in pounds and grams, and country of origin.
- Export documentation. Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading or air waybill, Importer Security Filing data before loading for ocean shipments, and a phytosanitary certificate where needed.
- Fumigation certificate. Containers are fumigated with phosphine before sealing and certified, so stored-grain insects do not travel with the cargo.
- Khapra beetle declaration. India is a khapra beetle country for USDA APHIS purposes. Where required, the phytosanitary certificate carries the additional declaration and the container is inspected before stuffing.
