APEDA Registration for Egg Export from India

In short: APEDA, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority, registers exporters of eggs and poultry from India. An egg exporter must be APEDA-registered and FSSAI-licensed and hold an IEC code; APEDA registration underpins the veterinary health certificate and the rest of the export document set.

Key facts
  • APEDA registers egg and poultry exporters in India
  • Exporter also needs FSSAI licence and IEC code
  • Underpins the veterinary health certificate
  • Applies alongside Halal for Gulf markets
  • HS code for shell eggs: 0407 / 040721

What APEDA does

APEDA is the government body that promotes and regulates export of agricultural and processed foods, including eggs and poultry. Registration with APEDA is the baseline that makes an exporter eligible to ship. See our certifications and compliance page.

APEDA, FSSAI and IEC together

Three things work together: the IEC code (Importer Exporter Code) authorises foreign trade, the FSSAI licence covers food-safety of handling and packing, and APEDA registration covers the export category. The veterinary health certificate is then issued per consignment on top.

What buyers can ask for

Serious buyers can request our registration details and specimen documents before contracting. The full set then ships with every consignment, as described in egg export documentation.
