Exporting Herbal Tea from India to Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is an important market for tea and wellness products. Indian manufacturers can support buyers with herbal blends, packaging and export documentation. Import requirements should always be confirmed with your local importer or SFDA.

Import Planning

Work with a Local Importer

Food products generally enter Saudi Arabia through registered importers. Your importer can guide you on product and manufacturer registration requirements.

• Confirm importer registration.
• Discuss product requirements.
• Check manufacturer documentation.

Packaging Requirements

Arabic Labelling

Food labels generally require Arabic information alongside other languages. Confirm the exact requirements with your importer before printing.

• Ingredients
• Net weight
• Production and expiry dates
• Country of origin

Product Quality

Check Shelf Life

Plan production and shipping carefully so your herbal tea reaches Saudi Arabia with sufficient shelf life remaining for sale.

• Check shelf life before dispatch.
• Plan shipping timelines.
• Avoid unnecessary delays.

Export Documentation

Prepare Required Documents

Export shipments may require a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and other documents depending on the product. Anantah Foods prepares export paperwork and customs documentation and sends batch records and a Certificate of Analysis with shipments.

• Commercial invoice
• Packing list
• Certificate of origin
• Batch records
• Certificate of Analysis

Certifications

Confirm Certification Needs

Some buyers may require specific certificates, such as halal certification. Share your requirements early so availability can be confirmed before placing an order.

• Discuss certification requirements.
• Confirm available documents.
• Check requirements before ordering.

Product Labelling

Keep Claims Accurate

Keep health claims modest and accurate. Have all product wording checked by your importer before finalising labels and packaging.

• Use accurate product descriptions.
• Avoid unsupported health claims.
• Review labels before printing.

Packaging

Choose Heat-Resistant Packaging

Tea shipped to hot climates needs protection from moisture and aroma loss. Sealed pouches, tins and cartons can help protect the product during transit.

• Sealed pouches
• Protective tins
• Printed cartons
• Suitable moisture protection
