Natural, Hulled and Black Sesame from India for UAE Processors and Traders
Sesame cleaned to the purity you specify, with a Certificate of Analysis for every lot and label details ready for your registration.
You can source natural, hulled and black sesame seeds for the UAE from Elysium Agri Corporation, an exporter in Jamnagar, Gujarat. Each lot is cleaned at a specialist unit, tested at an NABL-accredited lab and shipped from Mundra, Kandla or Pipavav with its Certificate of Analysis.
Sesame is bought on purity, colour and taste. A tahini or halva producer, a bakery supplier and a trading house each need a different lot, and the UAE has more than 570 food processors. So your quote starts from your specification sheet or reference sample, not from a standard grade.

Import Requirements for Sesame in the UAE
MOCCAE sets the food safety rules at federal level. Dubai Municipality and ADAFSA in Abu Dhabi inspect at the port and approve labels. For sesame, give most attention to residue results and label details.
- Pesticide residues are checked against UAE.S MRL 1/2019 and mycotoxins against UAE.S GSO 841.
- You register each sesame product and pack size, with its label, on ZAD and your emirate system before the goods arrive.
- Labels must be in Arabic. Dates are printed or embossed on the original pack, never on a sticker.
- A health certificate and a chamber-approved certificate of origin accompany the cargo. The commercial invoice is attested through UAE MOFA.
- Any label claim, such as organic or GMO-free, needs a supporting certificate.
Packing and Shipping
- See packaging.
- UAE east coast ports, Khor Fakkan and Fujairah, are in use at present. Jebel Ali cargo moves onward by bonded land-bridge.
- Routing and transit are confirmed with each quote, because carrier schedules and surcharges change often. Your CFR or CIF quote states what is included.
Frequently Asked Questions
What purity can I order for hulled sesame?
Purity is set by your specification, not by a fixed house grade. Send the purity, moisture and colour you need, or a reference sample. The Certificate of Analysis reports the result against it.
Will Indian sesame enter the UAE at zero duty under CEPA?
The India-UAE CEPA gives preferential access on most tariff lines, and oilseeds must be wholly obtained in India to qualify. The rate depends on your HS line, so we confirm it with your quote. Estimate your cost with the landed cost calculator.
Can you supply organic sesame for the UAE?
The UAE requires a certificate to support any organic claim, and UAE.S GSO 2532 sets residue limits for organic products.
How do I check the supplier before I pay an advance?
Check our IEC and GSTIN on the Indian government portals, as shown on the verify Elysium page. You may also appoint SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek to inspect the lot before loading.
