Indonesian Cloves for the US Market

Searching for an Indonesian clove supplier for US importers?

United States spice importers, ethnic food distributors, seasoning manufacturers, and ingredient processors may source Indonesian dried cloves for approved food applications.

IEC | Indonesia Export Center facilitates sourcing enquiries for Indonesian cloves, including supplier information, product specifications, quality-document requests, and commercial quotation discussions.

For US buyers, food safety responsibilities and supplier qualification are especially important. A product’s attractive appearance or strong aroma does not independently establish compliance.

FDA and FSMA Considerations

US food importers should evaluate applicable requirements under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).

Depending on the transaction, relevant obligations may include:

• Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP)
• FDA food facility registration where applicable
• Prior Notice for imported food
• Importer identification and customs requirements
• Food safety hazard analysis
• Appropriate supplier verification activities
• Applicable labeling and recordkeeping requirements

The responsible US importer should determine which requirements apply to the specific product and transaction.

Microbiological Risk and Supplier Controls

Spices may present microbiological hazards, including contamination by foodborne pathogens.

US buyers should evaluate supplier controls and determine whether validated treatment, testing, or other risk-management measures are required.

A negative test result alone does not guarantee that an entire shipment is free from hazards.

Traceability and Laboratory Evidence

Recommended documentation may include:

1. Supplier identification.
2. Product origin.
3. Lot number.
4. Processing information.
5. Sampling records.
6. Moisture and physical grading results.
7. Relevant microbiological tests.
8. Pesticide residue and contaminant results.
9. Treatment information where applicable.
10. Shipping and commercial records.

The buyer should verify the authenticity and relevance of laboratory documents.

Supplier Approval Process

A US importer may establish a supplier qualification process covering legal identity, facility controls, product specifications, hazard assessment, sampling, and corrective-action procedures.

IEC can facilitate supplier enquiries, but compliance determinations and importer obligations remain with the responsible parties.

Packaging and Shipping to USA

Cloves should be packed in clean, dry, suitable materials with appropriate lot identification.

Potential destination ports depend on the importer’s distribution network and may include Los Angeles, Long Beach, New York/New Jersey, Savannah, or other suitable ports.

FOB Indonesia, CFR USA, and CIF USA quotations may be requested.
