[Beryl274]

hi guys, this is my first time here. I don't know if I need a food liscense if I am importing cardamom from India about 10kg to England to sell in corner shops. the packaging is done in India aswell.

I would check if you need a licence to import cardamom first.

Licences for the import/export of agricultural products

Find out if you need a UK Agricultural Policy (UKAP) licence to become an importer/exporter of agricultural produce and how to apply.

You probably do not need a licence (check the .gov site) but you will probably need phytosanitary certification.

Also, please be careful before jumping into this project. Too many people see 'cheap' things abroad, however, when you add in shipping, taxes, packaging, logistics etc, the opportunity disappears.

Also, not many corner shops will buy a couple bags of one product from one small company. That is inconvenient and they only like convenience!
