When importing bulk Coconut Oil (HS 15131900) into the EU, US, or Middle East, adhering to strict Maximum Residue Levels (MRL) and quality parameters is non-negotiable. Hornbill Exim ensures that every metric ton of expeller-pressed coconut oil dispatched from Kochi port meets stringent global safety benchmarks.
Core Quality Parameters (Export Grade)
- Free Fatty Acid (FFA): Strictly < 0.1% (as lauric acid). Essential for preventing rancidity during long ocean transits.
- Moisture & Volatile Matter: < 0.1%. Guaranteed to prevent oxidation and extend shelf-life.
- Iodine Value: 7.5 - 10.5.
- Saponification Value: 250 - 264.
Aflatoxin & Heavy Metal Compliance
We employ advanced copra drying techniques (solar and mechanical) to prevent fungal growth, ensuring Aflatoxin B1 is undetectable or well below the EU limit of 2.0 µg/kg. Heavy metals (Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium) are strictly monitored and certified by independent NABL-accredited labs before container stuffing.
