In the competitive world of global spice trade, certifications are far more than paperwork, they are the foundation of trust, traceability, and credibility. When dealing with high-value commodities like green cardamom, compliance with international quality and safety standards determines not only market access but also long-term business success.

At Tamila Agrifood, we understand that today’s buyers, whether in the European Union, the Middle East, Asia, or Africa, demand more than premium aroma and vibrant color; they demand verified quality assurance and global certification compliance.

Let’s explore the key certifications required for exporting and importing green cardamom, and how our company ensures your supply chain meets every global standard.

1. ISO Certification: International Quality Benchmark

The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) certification represents consistency and reliability in production and management systems.

At Tamila Agrifood, our cardamom sourcing and export operations align with ISO 9001:2015, ensuring:

•    Uniform product quality across every batch

•    Documented process control and continuous improvement

•    Full traceability from farm to container

This certification allows importers to trust that each shipment of Iranian green cardamom meets internationally recognized benchmarks for purity, quality, and safety.

2. HACCP Certification: Food Safety at Every Step

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) certification is crucial for any food-related export business. It ensures that every potential hazard, physical, chemical, or biological, is identified and controlled during processing, packaging, and transport.

Tamila Agrifood’s HACCP-compliant operations guarantee:

•    Strict control over moisture, temperature, and contamination risks

•    Clean, stainless-steel processing environments

•    Trained staff monitoring every critical stage of handling

With HACCP certification, our global partners, from European spice wholesalers to African food processors, can confidently import cardamom that adheres to the highest food safety standards.

3. Organic Certification: Purity Rooted in Nature

As global consumers shift toward organic and chemical-free foods, the demand for certified organic green cardamom continues to grow rapidly.

Our organically certified cardamom is cultivated in pesticide-free environments, ensuring natural flavor and maximum essential oil content.

Each batch complies with:

•    EU Organic Regulation (EC 834/2007)

•    USDA Organic (NOP) standards

This certification opens the door to premium retail markets in Europe, North America, and Japan, where organic labeling significantly increases market value and consumer trust.

4. Halal Certification: Trust for Muslim Markets

For regions across the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia, Halal certification is essential.

It guarantees that green cardamom is processed, stored, and transported in full accordance with Islamic dietary laws.

At Tamila Agrifood, we work with recognized Halal certification bodies to ensure:

•    No cross-contamination with non-Halal materials

•    Compliance with Sharia-approved handling and packaging

•    Transparency in supply chain documentation

This certification allows importers in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and Indonesia to distribute our products with full confidence and market acceptance.

5. Phytosanitary Certificate: Safe for International Trade

Every cardamom shipment from Iran must be accompanied by a Phytosanitary Certificate, issued by the Agricultural Quarantine Department.

This document confirms that the product:

•    Has been inspected for pests and diseases

•    Meets importing country’s agricultural health regulations

•    Is safe for international transport

Without this certification, shipments may face customs delays or rejection. Tamila Agrifood ensures that all paperwork is prepared in compliance with destination country requirements, whether it’s for Rotterdam, Dubai, or Mombasa.

6. Certificate of Origin & Export Documentation

In addition to quality certifications, a Certificate of Origin issued by the Iranian Chamber of Commerce verifies the authenticity and source of the product.

This certification is especially important for importers seeking tariff advantages or proof of ethical sourcing.

All shipments from Tamila Agrifood are supported by:

•    Certificate of Origin

•    Commercial Invoice

•    Packing List

•    Bill of Lading

•    Phytosanitary Certificate

This complete documentation package ensures hassle-free customs clearance worldwide.

7. Third-Party Testing & Laboratory Validation

To guarantee objectivity and transparency, Tamila Agrifood frequently collaborates with international inspection agencies like SGS, Bureau Veritas, and Intertek.

Independent testing covers:

•    Volatile oil content

•    Moisture levels

•    Color and aroma consistency

•    Microbiological safety

These certifications serve as final proof that our green cardamom meets, and often exceeds, global quality standards.

Why Certifications Matter for Buyers?

For importers, certifications are not just formalities, they are market access tools.

They influence:

•    Customs acceptance speed

•    Brand credibility in B2B and retail markets

•    Ability to enter premium segments (organic, Halal, ISO-certified products)

•    Consumer trust and long-term loyalty

Choosing a supplier with the right certifications eliminates risks and adds measurable value to your brand.
