At Hornbill Exim, every cargo shipment is backed by strict batch-level traceability, Spice Board phytosanitary certifications, and precise customs declarations.
Stemless chillies have the stem and calyx mechanically removed prior to packing. Stems contribute 8% to 12% dead weight and contain zero capsaicin heat or red color. Buying stemless eliminates processing labor at your destination facility, reduces freight costs per active unit, and prevents mechanical shredder jams.
Our export consignments deliver a balanced pungency between 25,000 and 35,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) and an intense natural red extractable color between 80 and 120 ASTA units, suitable for universal hot sauce, oleoresin, and ground chilli applications.
Chillies are susceptible to aflatoxin if dried improperly. Hornbill Exim enforces raised-bed solar drying and laboratory testing by HPLC to verify total aflatoxin remains strictly below 10 ppb (with B1 below 5 ppb), alongside screening for zero Rhodamine B and Sudan red dyes.
We export in 10kg, 20kg, or 25kg food-grade polypropylene bags, or compressed bale blocks to maximize 40ft High-Cube container payload up to 14 Metric Tons.
The international HS Code for whole dried stemless red chillies is 09042110.
