If you are involved in exporting oilseeds, edible oils, peanuts, sesame, castor, or any processed seed-based products, IOPEPC Certification is an essential approval you must have before shipping goods internationally. It confirms that your export consignment meets the required purity, safety, moisture level, grading, and packaging standards set by Indian authorities and accepted global markets. Without this certification, your exports may face rejection, hold, or delays at customs and overseas ports — which can directly affect business timelines and buyer trust.
IOPEPC (Indian Oilseeds & Produce Export Promotion Council) is the governing body responsible for checking product quality, issuing export clearances, and improving India’s oilseed commodity presence in foreign markets. Whether you are a new exporter or an established trader, this certification works as your official quality passport, proving that your consignment follows international specifications and hygiene protocols. In simple terms, IOPEPC ensures the product you export is safe, graded correctly, and compliant with import country rules.
Through this guide, you will understand the complete process — from eligibility and documentation to submission, inspection, validity, and renewal. With expert guidance from PSR Compliance, exporters do not have to struggle with manual filings, quality reports, sampling, or approval delays. Our team manages the entire certification journey to ensure that your consignment gets clearance smoothly and reaches the global market without compliance barriers.
