Bulk Makhana (Fox Nuts) for Chinese Importers

Fox nuts for Chinese importers and snack brands

Short answer: National Makhana Udyog supplies graded, handpicked makhana (fox nuts) to Chinese importers in 4 Sutta+ to 6 Sutta+ grades. Air trials start from 8 kg, and a 20 ft container carries about 2–2.5 tonnes. We check the import requirements with you before we quote. Prices are quoted on request.

Fox nuts are known in China as qian shi and are used in traditional food and as a health snack, so buyers often compare Indian makhana with local supply. China has detailed rules on food imports and importer or supplier registration, so we confirm what applies to the exact product before agreeing an order.

China Trade Specifications

What Chinese importers should confirm before ordering

• Import rules and registration: China has its own food import, registration and labelling requirements, which can apply to the supplier as well as the importer. Your importer or customs broker should confirm what applies to the exact product before ordering.
• Labels: Chinese-language labels are required for retail sale and are the importer's or brand's responsibility. We print private-label packs to your artwork.

Rules change. Your importer or customs broker should confirm current conditions before ordering. We do not claim organic certification.

Roasted & flavoured makhana for Chinese snack brands

Chinese cross-border sellers and snack brands can buy ready roasted makhana, or plain kernels to season in their own flavours. Import requirements for roasted products can differ from plain makhana, so we check them with you first.

• Flavours: Peri Peri, Salt & Pepper and Lemon & Mint.
• Process: the makhana is first roasted in an air fryer. Then, on customer demand, seasoning is added for flavouring with avocado oil, olive oil or pure ghee.
• Packs: 50 g pouches, bulk packs, or private label to your artwork. Chinese label text is the importer's or brand's responsibility.
• HSN code 20081929.
