About Mace Spice
Mace is the crimson-colored arillus (lacy seed covering) of the nutmeg fruit (Myristica fragrans). While nutmeg is the dried kernel, mace provides a more delicate, warm, and subtly spicy flavor profile with aromatic complexity. Mace is graded as 'vicar' (whole preserved with floral appearance) or 'blades' (broken pieces), with premium vicar commanding 15-25% price premiums.
Indian mace — primarily sourced from Kerala's Wynad and Malabar regions — is renowned for its superior color intensity (deep crimson), aromatic potency, and consistent moisture control. These traditional spice gardens leverage generations of cultivation expertise, producing mace with volatile oil content (7-13%) that exceeds global standards. The spice undergoes rigorous sortex cleaning and grading to ensure purity standards exceeding 99%, meeting stringent food safety certifications (FSSAI, ISO 22000, HACCP).
Mace is prized in premium culinary applications — European pastry, spice blends (garam masala), pharmaceuticals, and natural flavor extractors. The spice holds special cultural significance in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.
Compliance & Quality Standards for USA
The United States is India's largest agricultural export destination, importing over $8 billion in agri-commodities annually. All food shipments must comply with U.S. FDA food safety standards under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), including Prior Notice submission to the FDA before cargo arrives at a U.S. port. IndianXporter manages all FSMA paperwork including Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP), Foreign Supplier Verification, and FDA Facility Registration for each exporting unit. USDA-regulated products such as plant material and certain grains require USDA-APHIS phytosanitary clearance. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) mandates a valid Importer Security Filing (ISF/10+2) at least 24 hours before loading. We also support HS code classification, customs bond arrangements, and anti-dumping duty (ADD) disclosures where applicable. At IndianXporter, we ensure every batch of mace spice exceeds the quality expectations of USA importers and adheres to all local regulatory mandates.

What Drives Mace Spice Pricing
Before quoting USA buyers, we track the same factors that move global mace spice FOB rates:
- Indonesia and Grenada production — the dominant global mace origins set the price benchmark
- Indian Kerala (Wayanad) crop — domestic supply and colour quality drive Indian FOB
- Volatile oil content — high-oil lots command extraction and pharmaceutical premiums
- Aflatoxin compliance — clean lots avoid EU rejection discounts (high-risk spice)
- USD/INR exchange rate — INR depreciation improves Indian FOB competitiveness
