Common Questions from
Global Buyers

What is the minimum order quantity for makhana export?

Our minimum order quantity is 50 kg for all grades (A1, A2, A3) and product types. For full container loads (FCL), the standard is 1 MT or more, which qualifies for our Enterprise pricing tier with the best per-kg rates.

What is the HS code for makhana / foxnut export from India?

The primary HS code for makhana (lotus seeds / foxnuts) export from India is 20081921 for processed/roasted makhana and 19041090 for makhana-based processed cereal foods. The correct code may vary depending on the form (raw vs. roasted) and destination country. We include the correct HS code on all commercial invoices and documents.

What is makhana called in international markets?

Makhana is known by several names globally: Foxnut or Fox Nuts (most common in UK/USA), Lotus Seeds (used in European and East Asian markets), Phool Makhana (Indian diaspora communities), Gorgon Nut (traditional botanical name), and Euryale Ferox (scientific/botanical classification). Our product is all of the above — we can adjust labelling per your market.

Do you provide private label / white label makhana?

Yes. We offer full private label manufacturing for brands, supermarkets, and FMCG companies. This includes custom packaging design, your brand name and logo, nutritional fact panels in your country's format (FDA, FSA, etc.), and flavour variants. MOQ for private label is 200 kg. Contact us to discuss brand requirements.

What shipping terms (Incoterms) do you offer?

We offer EXW (Ex Works — you collect from our Darbhanga facility), FOB (Free on Board — we load at Indian port, typically Nhava Sheva or Mundra), and CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight — we handle everything to your destination port, including marine insurance per Incoterms 2020). Use our online calculator for instant pricing under any term.
