Common questions
Can Kasuri methi be exported to the US?
Yes. Dried herbs are food, so the packing facility must be registered with the FDA and each shipment needs prior notice.
Do Kasur leather products need special US labels?
Products must be described honestly as leather, and every item or package must show the country of origin.
Do US buyers care where the leather is tanned?
Many do. Brands increasingly ask about tannery environmental standards and chemical use. Records from a tannery with proper effluent treatment help you win those buyers.
