Rajasthan Origin
One of the two established Indian coriander-growing regions we source from — seed size, aroma intensity and oil content for a specific lot are confirmed against your requirement rather than assumed from the region alone.
Product Export Guide
Indian Coriander Export Guide
What importers should agree when buying Indian coriander seeds: origin, aroma and volatile oil, whole versus ground, specifications, MOQ and destination requirements.
What We Supply
Coriander sourced from established Indian growing regions, supplied as whole seeds and ground powder for international food manufacturers, distributors and wholesale buyers. Aroma, moisture and grind specification are confirmed with the supplying source at the enquiry stage.
Decide These First
- Form: whole seed or ground powder, which differ in packing and shelf life.
- Aroma and volatile oil: state the minimum you need so the lot can be matched to it.
- Origin and seed size: Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu supply different profiles if you have a preference.
- Purity and admixture: confirmed per lot with the supplying source.
ShankuChakra is a merchant exporter: we coordinate sourcing, specification and export documents with qualified suppliers, and we do not yet have an existing customer base to cite.

Grades and Varieties
Coriander is graded first by growing region — Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu are the two established sourcing regions we work with, and growing conditions genuinely affect seed size, aroma intensity and oil content between them — then by form. Moisture and volatile oil are confirmed against the specific lot at enquiry stage, not published as a fixed figure.
Tamil Nadu Origin
The other established growing region in our range — worth naming explicitly in your enquiry if you have a regional preference, since growing conditions differ from Rajasthan.
Whole Seeds
Holds aroma substantially longer than ground powder — the form most bulk buyers import, grinding closer to point of use if they have the capability.
Ground Powder
Ready for direct use but loses aromatic strength faster than whole seeds — ask for the milling date and post-milling storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the HS code for coriander seeds?
- Whole coriander seeds are classified under HS code 0909.21.90, and ground coriander powder under 0909.22.00 — two different codes. Confirm both with your customs broker against your specific form.
- What moisture and volatile oil content should coriander have?
- A typical range is moisture at or below 10% and volatile oil at or above 0.3%, with purity at or above 99% and admixture at or below 1%. Volatile oil is the figure most directly tied to aroma strength and the one worth confirming explicitly.
- Whole coriander seeds or ground powder — which lasts longer?
- Whole seeds hold their aroma substantially longer than ground powder, which is why most bulk buyers import whole and grind closer to point of use. If you need ground coriander, ask about the milling date and storage conditions since it loses aromatic strength faster.
- What is a typical first order quantity for coriander?
- Around 100 kg is a common trial quantity in retail pouches or 25 kg bulk PP bags, scaling toward container-load volumes for established wholesale orders.
