At minimum, a Phytosanitary Certificate and Certificate of Origin per shipment — both are required by most destination customs authorities for plant-based agricultural imports. For food-grade buyers, also ask whether the specific lot has been lab-tested for essential oil content, piperine level (for pepper), and microbial/aflatoxin limits, since these vary by harvest and processing method, not just by supplier.

Nusawara's standard MOQ is 500-1,000 kg per SKU, which suits both LCL (less-than-container-load) buyers testing a new spice line and larger buyers consolidating multiple SKUs into a shared container. Smaller trial quantities can sometimes be arranged for first-time buyers who want to verify quality before committing to a full order.
