🌶️ What is Spice Board Registration?
The Spices Board of India issues a Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) to spice exporters.

The Spices Board of India is a statutory body established in 1987 under the Spices Board Act, 1986, operating under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India. Its headquarters are in Kochi, Kerala.
The Board regulates and promotes the export of 109 scheduled spices from India. Any individual, firm, company or cooperative seeking to export these spices must obtain a Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) from the Spices Board — it is a legal requirement, not optional.
No exporter can legally ship scheduled spices from India without a valid Spice Board registration certificate.
RCMC from Spice Board is required to avail export incentives, duty drawback, RoDTEP, and advance authorisation under India's Foreign Trade Policy.
Registration covers fresh, dried, processed, ground, oil, oleoresin, and value-added forms of all 109 scheduled spices.
Spice Board RCMC is recognised by international buyers, importers, and customs authorities in 180+ countries.
