Fox nuts for Dutch importers and EU distributors

Short answer: National Makhana Udyog supplies graded, handpicked makhana (fox nuts) to Dutch importers in 4 Sutta+ to 6 Sutta+ grades, shipped from India to Rotterdam or your nominated port. Air trials start from 8 kg, and a 20 ft container carries about 2–2.5 tonnes. Prices are quoted on request.

The Netherlands is a major European gateway for imported food, so many buyers here import in bulk and then repack, relabel or distribute to other EU countries. We plan each shipment around that: clear batch codes, full traceability and the lab reports your compliance team will ask for.

This page is for Dutch buyers. For other EU countries, see our Europe importer page. For German buyers, see the Germany page.

What Dutch importers should confirm before ordering

  • EU food law: Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 sets traceability and importer responsibility across the EU, including the Netherlands.
  • Contaminants and residues: maximum levels for contaminants such as aflatoxins (Regulation (EU) 2023/915) and pesticide residues (Regulation (EC) No 396/2005). We provide lab reports per batch.
  • Labelling and onward sale: Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 sets labelling rules, with language requirements by member state of sale. If you sell on to other EU countries, labels must suit each market. Many buyers relabel after arrival.

Rules change. Your importer or compliance adviser should confirm the current text before ordering. We supply the reports and records that support that check. We do not claim organic or retailer-scheme certification.
