Rice exporters from India – United Kingdom supply
The UK enforces the tightest pesticide residue limits of any market we ship to, and Indian rice gets looked at hard at Port Health. That is exactly why our pesticide residue free line leads here.

Can you export rice from India to the UK?
Yes. Om Prasadam exports pesticide residue free Basmati, traditional aged Basmati and brown Basmati from India to the United Kingdom. Containers load at Mundra or Nhava Sheva and reach Felixstowe, Southampton or London Gateway in twenty to twenty-six days. Because Indian rice is subject to close pesticide scrutiny at UK Port Health, every consignment ships with residue analysis from an accredited laboratory against UK maximum residue levels, including the 0.01 mg/kg tricyclazole limit. We quote FOB Indian port or CIF UK port in GBP or USD.

Compliance
Documentation for UK import clearance
Most rice consignments that get held up are held on paperwork, not on quality. We prepare the file before the container is booked so your clearing agent is never waiting on us.
- UK maximum residue levels. Every consignment ships with residue analysis from an accredited laboratory against UK MRLs, including the 0.01 mg/kg tricyclazole limit that catches out a great deal of Indian rice.
- Port Health inspection. Indian rice attracts close attention at UK Port Health. We ship the analytical file with the container so your agent can answer a query without the cargo standing.
- Retail supply standards. Where you supply UK grocery multiples, we work to your BRCGS and technical audit requirements and provide the mill documentation your technologist will ask for.
- UK food labelling. Retail artwork prepared to UK food information requirements: legal name, ingredients, allergens, QUID, net quantity, best-before date, storage and the UK importer address.
- Export documentation. Phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and the analytical certificates required at entry.

Questions importers ask
Exporting rice from India to UK
Yes. We export pesticide residue free basmati, traditional aged basmati and brown basmati to the United Kingdom, shipping into Felixstowe, Southampton and London Gateway in twenty to twenty-six days. Every consignment carries residue analysis from an accredited laboratory against UK maximum residue levels.
Our pesticide residue free rice is milled on a physically separate line from conventional stock and screened against more than 350 residues at NABL-accredited laboratories, including tricyclazole against the 0.01 mg/kg UK limit. The analytical certificate ships with the container so your agent can respond to a Port Health query without the cargo standing at the terminal.
Twenty to twenty-six days port to port to Felixstowe, Southampton or London Gateway, plus three to four working days for stuffing, customs clearance and documentation in India.
Yes. We print and pack 1kg, 2kg, 5kg and 10kg retail bags under your brand, labelled to UK food information requirements including legal name, ingredients, allergen information, QUID, net quantity, best-before date, storage conditions and the UK importer address. Minimum three tonnes per design.
We work to the technical requirements of buyers supplying UK grocery multiples and provide the mill documentation, specifications and analytical history your technologist will request. Where a specific certification or a supplier audit is required for your account, tell us at the enquiry stage so we can confirm scope before you commit to a listing.
