This page is designed for US/EU buyers sourcing India-origin moringa powder, tea cut, oil, or seeds. Use it as an operating checklist, not legal advice.
Decision table: what to verify first
| Area | Minimum evidence | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Entity identity | IEC/GST name chain + bank consistency | Prevents invoice/entity mismatch risk |
| Lot quality | Lot-specific COA + method references | Avoids marketing PDF-only approvals |
| Organic claims | Scope lines tied to product + site | Reduces certification claim exposure |
| Contract protection | Arrival retest + deviation clause | Controls post-arrival dispute cost |
US-focused checks
- Align claims language to marketplace and label policy before launch.
- Ask for heavy metals and microbiology panel scope in writing.
- Specify arrival testing workflow and tolerance thresholds.
EU-focused checks
- Define contaminant and pesticide expectation before sample approval.
- Confirm organic paperwork continuity across the transaction path.
- Ensure label panel, lot coding, and pack traceability stay consistent.
Ready-to-use checklist sequence
- Freeze SKU and moisture/particle specs.
- Run identity + document chain check.
- Approve production-path sample only.
- Issue pilot PO with retest clause.
- Scale only after pilot passes arrival QA.
