YOUR BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING PARTNER

Supporting Beverage Brands Across India

India regulates imported food through FSSAI, and the importer must hold an FSSAI licence whose number appears on the label. The green or brown mark indicating vegetarian or non-vegetarian status is also mandatory and is one of the details most often missed by first-time exporters.

ACMFOOD works to that split. We provide formulation, production, quality documentation and export paperwork; your importer holds the licence and handles clearance at the port.

Tariffs deserve attention before anything else. India maintains relatively high duties on beverages, and India is not part of RCEP, so the preference available under the ASEAN-India agreement should be checked against your specific HS code before you commit to a landed price.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answers to common questions from Indian importers, distributors and private label beverage brands.

Ask Our Team →
What is the minimum order quantity for India?

500 cartons per SKU is the standard minimum. Several SKUs can be combined into one container, which is the usual way to start without overcommitting on a single flavour.

Yes. The importer holds the FSSAI licence and its number must appear on the label. ACMFOOD supplies specifications, certificates of analysis and traceability records. Confirm current requirements with FSSAI or your customs broker.

Indian labelling requires a green mark for vegetarian products and a brown one for non-vegetarian. It is mandatory and it takes label space, so plan it into the artwork from the first draft rather than adding it late.

No. India withdrew from RCEP, so that agreement is not available. The ASEAN-India agreement is the relevant preference for Vietnamese goods, and it should be checked against your HS code.

They can be substantial. We would rather verify the tariff for your specific HS code before quoting than give a landed cost that the duty later breaks. Check the current schedule before committing to a retail price.

Nhava Sheva serves Mumbai and western India, Chennai the south and east, with Mundra also widely used. Our products carry 18 to 24 months of shelf life depending on product and packaging format.
