Your last container cleared two weeks late. The COA didn't match the drum. Your QA lead flagged the assay and now a production run is sitting idle while procurement explains itself.
If you import natural menthol crystals into the United States, the hard part was never finding a supplier. Anyone with a WhatsApp number will sell you menthol. The hard part is finding a manufacturer whose December lot is chemically identical to their June lot, and whose documentation survives contact with an FDA inspector.
Shivani Chemicals has manufactured L-menthol crystals in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh since 2013 — inside India's Mentha arvensis belt, where roughly 80% of the world's natural menthol originates. Not a trading desk reselling someone else's drums. The plant, the crystalliser, and the QC lab are ours.
Why US importers move their menthol business to us
USP/NF grade, certified per lot — not per year. Every consignment ships with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis: assay, melting point, optical rotation, residue on ignition, heavy metals. Your QA team gets the numbers before the container leaves the port, not after it lands.
One origin, one crystalliser, one spec. Most US buyers are actually buying from three different Indian sub-suppliers under one letterhead — which is exactly why their assay drifts between shipments. Ours doesn't, because it all comes off the same line.
Documentation built for US customs, not improvised at the last minute. COA, MSDS/SDS in GHS format, Certificate of Origin, packing list, and full HS 2906.11.00 classification support.
A named person, in your time zone window. Not a shared inbox. You get one contact who answers with a price and a date.

Shipping to the United States
We load from Nhava Sheva (JNPT) and Mundra. Indicative transit: 25–32 days to US East Coast (New York/Newark, Savannah, Charleston) and 28–35 days to US West Coast (Los Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland). Houston for Gulf Coast buyers.
Terms: FOB, CFR, CIF or DDP. We quote all four so you can compare against your current landed cost line by line.
On duties: US tariff treatment of Indian chemical imports has moved several times recently. Ask us for a current CIF-plus-duty landed estimate rather than working off an old number — we'll give you today's figure in writing.
