Spice Board ERC Registration — Spices Board Act 1986, 52 Notified Spices
Spices Board of India (Spice Board) Spices Board Act 1986 ke under established hai — Ministry of Commerce and Industry ke under statutory body, headquartered in Kochi, Kerala. Spice Board 52 notified spices (Act ki Schedule mein listed) ke export development, quality promotion aur exporter registration ka kaam karta hai. APEDA agricultural products ke liye hai — spices APEDA ke under nahi aate, Spice Board ke under aate hain.

Inka export Spice Board ERC ke bina nahi ho sakti.

Hamare consultants ERC category determination se lekar portal filing aur quality compliance guidance tak complete support dete hain.
