Shipping Information
Exporter details revealed after verified importer registration
Fresh Alphonso mango (Mangifera indica) packed in the 5kg premium export carton is India's standard retail-ready format for this variety, sized to preserve fruit quality through the longer transit European buyers require compared to nearer Gulf markets. Alphonso is grown along Maharashtra's Konkan coast in the Ratnagiri and Devgad belts, both holding Geographical Indication (GI) status, and Mumbai's proximity to this growing region keeps the gap between harvest and export processing short. For European importers, premium retail chains, and specialty produce distributors, Mumbai-shipped Alphonso in 5kg cartons offers GI-certified origin fruit, consistent premium grading, and the phytosanitary and treatment documentation EU customs authorities require for fresh mango imports.

A 5kg carton holds a manageable count of individually cushioned fruit, letting retailers stock and display Alphonso without the bulk handling a larger commodity carton would require. This size works well for both direct retail sale and gifting-style presentation, which is how Alphonso is most often positioned in European specialty grocery and South Asian diaspora retail channels.
Air freight preserves peak ripeness and Brix best and is the standard choice for premium 5kg retail cartons given Alphonso's relatively short shelf life and Europe's longer transit distance compared to the Gulf. Reefer sea container shipment can work for bulk wholesale volume at lower cost per kilo, provided the fruit is harvested at a maturity stage suited to the longer 15-20 day voyage, but this typically applies to larger bulk cartons rather than the premium 5kg retail format.
Ratnagiri and Devgad sit along the Konkan coast close enough to Mumbai that harvested fruit reaches ripening chambers and cold storage within hours, which matters given how central controlled ripening is to Alphonso's flavor development. Mumbai's international airport runs frequent freight schedules to major European hubs, and exporters here have decades of experience with the hot water treatment protocols and EU-specific documentation this variety requires for import clearance. This combination of proximity and process experience is what supports consistent premium quality reaching Europe within the fruit's usable shelf life.
5kg premium export cartons with individual foam net sleeves per fruit, standard for this product tier. 2.5kg and 4kg alternative retail sizes available on request. Custom gift box packaging with branded sleeves available for specialty retail and gifting orders. Palletized loading for air cargo, with reefer sea container available for bulk wholesale orders.
Phytosanitary certificate from India's Plant Quarantine Department for every shipment, hot water treatment certificate (mandatory for Alphonso export), Certificate of Origin, GI certification for Ratnagiri/Devgad origin, pesticide residue test reports confirming EU MRL compliance, APEDA registration.
A 5kg carton holds a manageable count of 12-16 individually cushioned fruit, suited to both direct retail display and gifting-style presentation. This is the standard format for premium Alphonso positioned in specialty grocery and diaspora retail channels internationally.
Air freight is standard for premium 5kg cartons, since it preserves peak ripeness and Brix within 1-2 days transit to major EU hubs. Sea freight in reefer containers can work for bulk wholesale volume in larger carton formats, at a lower per-kilo cost but longer 15-20 day transit.
Hot water treatment eliminates fruit fly larvae and certain fungal pathogens before phytosanitary clearance, and it's mandatory for Alphonso export to most destination markets including the EU. Confirm current EU-specific treatment and documentation requirements with your customs broker before the first shipment.
The harvest season runs from March to June, with peak volume and quality typically in April and May. Availability outside this window is limited, so buyers should confirm current-season timing before placing an order.
Fresh Alphonso mango is classified under HS code 0804.50.20. EU import requires this classification alongside treatment certification, so confirm both the code and documentation with your customs broker before the first shipment.
