Frequently Asked Questions
Do Ayurvedic products need AYUSH approval for export?
Ayurvedic medicines (products making therapeutic claims) manufactured in India require an AYUSH manufacturing licence and may require an AYUSH export NOC for certain markets. Ayurvedic cosmetics (oils, creams, shampoos) are regulated as cosmetics and do not require AYUSH approval, but must comply with the Drugs and Cosmetics Act labelling requirements.
Can I export Ayurvedic products to the UAE without halal certification?
Halal certification is not legally mandatory for all Ayurvedic products in the UAE, but it is strongly recommended — particularly for products containing animal-derived ingredients or alcohol. Many UAE retailers and distributors require halal certification as a condition of listing. We coordinate halal certification for all GCC-bound products.
What is the minimum order quantity for white label Ayurvedic products?
MOQ varies by product type and manufacturer. Herbal oils and cosmetics typically have MOQs of 500–1,000 units per SKU. Ayurvedic medicines may have higher MOQs due to batch size requirements. Contact us for product-specific MOQ information.
How long does it take to manufacture and export Ayurvedic products?
Standard white label Ayurvedic products with existing formulations can be manufactured and exported in 4–8 weeks. Custom formulations and new product development may take 8–16 weeks. Export documentation and shipping add 1–3 weeks depending on the destination.
Are Kerala Ayurvedic products in demand internationally?
Yes. Kerala is globally recognised as the home of authentic Ayurveda. Products manufactured in Kerala carry a strong provenance advantage — particularly for premium wellness brands targeting international markets. The "Made in Kerala" or "Kerala Ayurveda" positioning commands significant brand equity in export markets.
