Why buyers stay with us
The spice trade runs on trust. We make it verifiable.
Anyone can quote a low price on an unspecified grade. Here is what we do differently.
Sample before you pay
Every lot is offered against a sample drawn from the actual consignment. You approve the sample, then the order confirms. No blind buying.
Landed price in taka
Duty, VAT, AIT, port charges and inland freight worked into one delivered number, so you can price your own product with confidence.
Quotations inside 24 hours
Send the spice, grade and quantity. You get a firm written quotation with a validity period and a delivery timeline the next working day.
Inside the market, not outside it
We trade from Moulvi Bazar, Dhaka's spice wholesale centre. That proximity is why we quote today's real price movement instead of yesterday's rate.
One person accountable
Deal directly with Tamim Hossain (Sabuj), Proprietor. No call-centre queue and no passing your file between desks.
Sourcing origins
We buy at origin, not from the middle of the chain
Cutting out layers is how the price stays competitive and the grade stays traceable. These are the origins our regular lines come from.

Cumin, coriander, dried chilli, turmeric, fenugreek, dry ginger - Indonesia
Cassia, clove, nutmeg, mace, white pepper - Vietnam
Black pepper, white pepper, star anise, cassia - China
Star anise, garlic, dry ginger, cassia - Sri Lanka
True Ceylon cinnamon, clove - Guatemala
Green cardamom, bold screen sizes - Madagascar

Local turmeric, chilli and mustard, farm-gate sourced
How it works
From enquiry to delivery in four steps
No verbal promises, no surprise costs at unloading. Every stage produces something in writing.
Send your enquiry
Tell us the spice, the grade or specification, the quantity and where it needs to land. WhatsApp a photo of a sample if that is easier than describing it.
Get a written quote
Within one working day you receive a firm quotation: grade, origin, packing, price basis, validity and delivery timeline. Nothing left verbal.
Approve the sample
We courier or hand over a sample drawn from the actual lot. You test it, your lab tests it, and only then do we confirm the order.
Delivery & documents
Goods dispatched with invoice, packing list and applicable certificates. Payment on agreed terms — advance, letter of credit or approved credit.
Services
More than a bag of spices off a shelf
Import, wholesale, contract sourcing, grinding, private label — and the paperwork that goes with all of it.
Direct import & landed supply
We open the LC, book freight, clear the consignment and hand you a landed cost — so you buy a finished price in taka rather than an FOB figure plus surprises.
Wholesale from Moulvi Bazar stock
Working stock held at Shop No. 100, Gulbodon Super Market. Bag quantities up to full truckloads, released the same day for Dhaka buyers.
Contract & indent sourcing
Need a grade we do not carry, or a specific origin crop? We source against your written specification and confirm on sample approval, before any money moves.
Grinding, blending & private label
Contract grinding to your mesh, blending to your recipe, packing under your brand in pouch, jar or sachet — with a retained sample for every batch.
Documentation & compliance support
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, phytosanitary and lab reports assembled properly, so clearance does not stall at the port.
Nationwide delivery
Covered-van and truck delivery to Chattogram, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Bogura, Cumilla and beyond. Freight quoted before dispatch, never after.
Quality & compliance
Specifications on paper, before money moves
Cheap spice is usually cheap for a documented reason. We would rather tell you the reason than hide it.
- Sample drawn from the actual lot, not a showroom tin
- Moisture, foreign matter and purity declared per consignment
- Third-party lab analysis on request — aflatoxin, microbiology, curcumin, ASTA colour
- Segregated storage so clove, chilli and cardamom do not taint each other
- First-in-first-out rotation with intake inspection on every delivery
- Origin, phytosanitary and fumigation documentation assembled for import and export shipments

Who you are dealing with
One proprietor, one phone number, one answer

Common questions
Straight answers before you enquire
What is the minimum order quantity?
For spices held in stock at Moulvi Bazar we release from a single 25 kg bag upward, so small repackers and restaurants are welcome. For indent or contract imports the minimum depends on the spice and origin, usually one to five tonnes, and the exact figure is stated with the quotation.
Do you export spices from Bangladesh, or only import?
Our core business is importing spices into Bangladesh and supplying the domestic trade. We also supply export packers and buyers sourcing Bangladeshi-origin turmeric, chilli and mustard, and we assemble the origin documentation those shipments need. Send your requirement and we will tell you plainly whether we are the right supplier for it.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes, and we recommend it. Every offer is made against a sample drawn from the actual lot. Dhaka buyers can collect from the shop or we courier it; overseas buyers receive a courier sample with the specification sheet. Orders confirm only after sample approval.
How do you price — FOB, CFR or delivered?
Whichever basis you prefer. Most domestic buyers want a landed, delivered price in taka with duty, VAT, AIT, port charges and inland freight already worked in. Import and export buyers can have FOB, CFR or CIF against a named port. The quotation always states the basis explicitly.
What payment terms do you offer?
Advance payment, letter of credit, and approved credit terms for established buyers. First orders are normally on advance or against delivery. Credit follows a trading history and a straightforward reference check.
Which documents come with a shipment?
Commercial invoice and packing list as standard. Depending on the consignment and your requirement: certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate, bill of lading, and third-party lab analysis covering moisture, foreign matter, aflatoxin or microbiology.
