AlphonsoMango.in is an APEDA-registered exporter, and our export page names the US, UK, UAE, Singapore and Japan as markets, with a season of March to June by air freight. Commercial export enquiries go through the export page. We do not ship retail parcels abroad; NRIs can order from anywhere for delivery to an address in India.

Which countries do we export to?
Our export page names five markets: the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Japan. That is the list we stand behind. The site has carried other, inconsistent country counts in places, and I would rather give you the five we can name than a larger number we cannot document.
Each market has its own import rules for fresh fruit, its own plant-health requirements and its own customer expectations. Alphonso is a premium fruit abroad, usually sold to South Asian communities and increasingly to wider fruit buyers. It travels by air because the season is short and the fruit is delicate.
If your country is not in the list, ask anyway. An export enquiry is a conversation, not a menu.
What is the difference between export and retail?
Retail means a parcel to a household. Export means a commercial consignment to an importer, with paperwork, plant-health checks, freight and customs on both ends. They are different businesses.
Our retail shop ships fresh mangoes within India only, to serviceable PIN codes by BlueDart. We do not post single boxes to overseas addresses. If you land on this page looking for a box delivered to London or Dubai, the honest answer is: not through our retail checkout. What you can do is order for a relative in India, or enquire as a commercial buyer.
| Retail order | Export enquiry | |
|---|---|---|
| Buyer | Household or gift sender | Importer, distributor or retailer abroad |
| Destination | Address in India | Overseas port or warehouse |
| Process | Product page and checkout | Enquiry, then written quote |
| Paperwork | Order confirmation | Confirmed in the quote |
What should an overseas buyer check first?
- Exporter registration. Is the exporter registered with APEDA? Ours is APEDA registration 225579, which you can verify at apeda.gov.in; see our APEDA export page.
- Origin and GI. GI Authorised User numbers AU/5974/GI/139/260 (Alphonso) and AU/6932 (Devgad), verifiable via ipindia.gov.in.
- Food licence. FSSAI Central Licence 10020022011783, verifiable at fssai.gov.in.
- Import requirements of your country. Plant-health, treatment and labelling rules change. Check with your own authority and your customs broker before committing.
- Grading and packing. Declared weight bands, count per box, and packing for air freight.
- Written terms. Pricing, incoterms, payment terms and claims.
Export documents and commercial terms are not published on our site. They are confirmed in the quote. Do not accept a verbal assurance on any of them.
What is the export season, and why air freight?
The export page states a season of March to June, with fruit moved by air freight. Retail Alphonso in India usually runs February to June, and the 2027 season is listed to start on 1 February 2027. The difference is simple: export lots are timed to ripeness and flight schedules, not just harvest.
Air matters because Alphonso is delicate. Sea freight takes weeks, and a mango that left the tree semi-ripe will not wait that long. By air, the fruit reaches a market in a day or two of flight plus clearance. Even so, an importer should plan to ripen and sell within days of arrival.
Season dates move with weather. Treat any date as indicative, and confirm the shipping window in the written quote.
What if you are an NRI and want mangoes for family?
Order for an address in India. You can do it from anywhere: pay online, give your family's address and a working phone number, and the mangoes go by BlueDart to them. Our NRI gifting page explains the flow. Fresh fruit goes to serviceable PIN codes, so check your relative's PIN on the order page before you pay.
A few tips from the sender's side. Tell your family to expect a parcel and to be home for the first attempt. Tell them it arrives semi-ripe and needs a few days at room temperature. Share the tracking link we send by email and WhatsApp. Payment is prepaid only (UPI, cards, net banking, wallets); there is no cash on delivery. Dozens run from ₹1,849 to ₹2,999, and delivery is free.
What about carbide, and what do importing countries expect?
Calcium carbide is prohibited for ripening fruit in India under Regulation 2.3.5 of the Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Regulations, 2011. It releases acetylene and can carry arsenic and phosphorus impurities. FSSAI permits controlled ethylene ripening up to 100 ppm. Importing countries have their own residue and treatment rules too.
We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally (on hay beds, as our FAQ and Brand Facts page state).
As our our published brand facts states, fruit is hand-harvested, weighed and graded, and carbide and pesticide-residue testing by Envirocare Labs is done weekly through the season. I am attributing, not publishing results; read the page. Importers should ask for the documents that their own authority requires and have them in the quote.
How do you make an export enquiry?
Use the export page as the starting point, then message WhatsApp +91 70830 75556 or email support@alphonsomango.in. We reply within one business day, in English, Hindi or Marathi.
In your first message, include: company name and country, the product and grade you want, expected quantity per shipment, preferred months, and your importing licence or registration details. Add your freight preference and delivery point. A buyer who sends these details gets a faster and more accurate quote than one who writes "price for UAE".
