HSN Code Details
Unlike HSN 04021080 which covers fresh garlic, HSN 04021090 pertains to dried or processed garlic products that do not fall under any more specific sub‑heading, such as garlic powder or granules. These items are essentially garlic that has been dehydrated or otherwise treated to extend shelf life, without any additional flavoring or coating.
Because the product is moisture‑reduced, it can be shipped in standard 20‑foot containers with simple bulk packaging, but exporters should include a certificate of origin and a moisture‑content test report to satisfy buyer specifications; the commodity is freely exportable from India without a license.
