Dehydrated garlic flakes and powder exporter — India
Dehydrated garlic from India as minced, flakes, granules and powder — HS 07129090, dry container, quoted FOB India or CIF your named port.
We supply dehydrated garlic from India as minced, flakes, granules and powder. The line exists for plants that want concentrated garlic flavour without fresh-garlic logistics — no sprouting, no cold chain, no peeling loss at the receiving end.
Cut is the decision that matters. Flakes are the coarsest, usually described around 8–15 mm. Granules step down through the trade's standard bands — 8–16, 16–26 and 26–40 mesh are the ones buyers name most often, with 40–80 for a finer granule. Powder is typically milled finer still, commonly quoted around 100–120 mesh. Write the band on the PO; "garlic powder" alone will get you a mill's default cut.
The quality numbers buyers specify are moisture, ash and volatile oil. Moisture limits around 6% are the usual ceiling for export lots, total ash and acid-insoluble ash are capped separately, and volatile oil is the figure that actually tracks flavour strength — a lot can pass moisture and still be flat. State the limits your plant works to and we quote against them; the lot's own results come on its COA.
Like dehydrated onion, garlic ships shelf-stable in ordinary dry containers, which is why it reaches the Americas, Europe, East Asia, Africa and Oceania without a reefer. HS 07129090 is the usual tariff line. Packing follows food-plant or foodservice norms — bags, cartons, food-grade pouches or drums.
This page is the dehydrated family only. Fresh garlic is a different SKU with different logistics, and we would tell you so rather than quote it from here.
Dry stow with intact liners. Protect from humidity after discharge — garlic picks up moisture in a humid yard as readily as onion does.

Which cut should you specify?
| Form | Typical size | Common use |
|---|---|---|
| Flakes | ≈8–15 mm | Visible garlic in sauces, pickles, ready meals |
| Minced / chopped | Coarse pieces | Retail blends, marinades, foodservice packs |
| Granules (coarse) | 8–16 or 16–26 mesh | Dry rubs, seasoning blends, visible texture |
| Granules (fine) | 26–40, or 40–80 mesh | Premixes, extruded snacks, spice blends |
| Powder | Commonly ≈100–120 mesh | Sauces, batters, snack dusting, emulsions |
These are the bands the trade generally works to, so you can write a spec. They are not a claim about a particular lot — mesh, moisture, ash and volatile oil for your shipment are stated on that lot's COA. Send your plant's limits and we quote against them.
FAQ
What mesh should I specify for garlic powder or granules?
Powder is commonly milled to around 100–120 mesh. Granules run through standard bands — 8–16 and 16–26 for a coarse, visible granule, 26–40 and 40–80 as you go finer. Flakes sit above all of these at roughly 8–15 mm. Put the band on the PO with a tolerance if your sieve is strict, because "powder" on its own means whatever the mill runs as standard.
What moisture and quality limits apply to dehydrated garlic?
Export lots are typically held to a moisture ceiling around 6%, with total ash and acid-insoluble ash capped separately. Volatile oil is the figure worth watching — it tracks flavour strength, and a lot can meet moisture while being weak on flavour. Give us your plant's limits for all of these rather than asking for "export quality".
What is the difference between garlic flakes, granules and powder?
Size, and therefore where the garlic shows up in your product. Flakes stay visible and rehydrate slowly. Granules disperse faster and suit dry blends and rubs. Powder disperses immediately and is what sauces, batters and dustings need. One garlic line, milled to different cuts — tell us the application and we will say which cut fits.
Does dehydrated garlic need a reefer?
No. It is shelf-stable and ships in an ordinary dry container, which is exactly why processors specify it over fresh garlic on long ocean. Keep it cool and dry after discharge; a humid yard will undo a good factory spec.
Is this the same as fresh garlic export?
No. This page is dehydrated garlic — minced, flakes, granules and powder. Fresh garlic is a different SKU with cold chain and sprouting to manage. Ask if that is what you need and we will tell you honestly whether we can serve it.
Can Japanese or Korean buyers order this?
We quote CIF to the named East Asian port and share moisture, mesh and micro data for their QA in advance. Those markets test carefully, so agree the parameters before production rather than after the container is booked.
Can I order garlic and onion on the same booking?
Yes — both are dry-container lines from the same desk, so combining them on one shipment is straightforward. Put both specs on the enquiry with the quantities and we quote them together.
