1. The Rising Global Demand: Why Bangladesh is the New Hub for Red Chili
In 2026, the European culinary landscape is shifting. From the spice-hungry markets of Germany and the UK to the food processing giants of Italy and France, there is a massive surge in demand for high-pungency, high-color stability red chilies.
While India and China have traditionally dominated, Bangladeshi Red Chili has emerged as a premium alternative. Sourced from the fertile volcanic-rich soils of Bogura, Rajshahi, and Dinajpur, our chilies offer a unique Scoville heat profile and a deep “Ruby Red” pigment that stays vibrant even after long-term storage.
At Total Import Solution, we don’t just export a product; we export the essence of Bangladeshi agriculture, refined through rigorous European safety protocols.
2. Product Specifications: The “Bangla-Spice” Standard
To rank in the European “Extra Class” or “Class I” categories, our chilies meet the following technical benchmarks:
Technical Data Sheet (Dried Whole Chili)
| Parameter | Specification (Total Import Solution Standard) |
| Origin | Bogura / Dinajpur, Bangladesh |
| Moisture Content | < 10% (Prevents mold/aflatoxin) |
| Pungency (Heat) | 30,000 – 90,000 SHU (Scoville Heat Units) |
| Color Value | 80 – 140 ASTA |
| Foreign Matter | < 1% |
| Sudan Dyes (I-IV) | 100% Absent (Tested) |
| Aflatoxin (B1, B2, G1, G2) | < 5 ppb (Lower than EU limit of 10 ppb) |
3. The Legal Pillar: 10 Essential Documents for Europe
Exporting to the European Union (EU) is not a simple task—it is a legal marathon. Many exporters fail because of “Sudan Dye” contamination or missing lab reports.
Total Import Solution provides a 100% Legal Paper Support Guarantee. We handle all the bureaucracy so you can focus on distribution.
We provide and support the following mandatory legal papers:
-
Export Registration Certificate (ERC): Issued by the CCI&E, Bangladesh.
-
Phytosanitary Certificate: Mandatory for EU entry, issued by the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) after physical inspection.
-
Sudan Dye Analysis Report: A certified lab report proving the absence of Sudan I, II, III, and IV (strictly required by EU Regulation No 178/2002).
-
Aflatoxin & Mycotoxin Certificate: Proving compliance with EU limits (Regulation EC No 1881/2006).
-
Pesticide Residue (MRL) Report: Ensuring all chemicals used are within the EU Maximum Residue Levels.
-
Certificate of Origin (COO): For GSP (Generalized System of Preferences) benefits, allowing Duty-Free access to European markets.
-
Commercial Invoice & Detailed Packing List.
-
Bill of Lading / Airway Bill.
-
EXP Form: For Foreign Exchange regulation compliance.
-
HACCP / ISO 22000 Support: We ensure our processing facilities meet international Food Safety Management Systems.
4. Our Process: From Bogura Fields to European Ports
Step 1: Scientific Sourcing
We partner directly with contract farmers in Bogura. We provide them with non-GMO seeds and monitor the growth to ensure no illegal pesticides are used.
Step 2: Natural Sun-Drying & Cleaning
Chilies are dried in controlled environments to maintain a moisture level below 10%. We then use high-speed air-cleaning machinery to remove dust, stones, and immature pods.
Step 3: Laboratory Testing
Every batch is tested in a third-party, ISO-certified laboratory. We verify the SHU (heat) and ASTA (color) and conduct a full toxicology screen.
Step 4: Vacuum Packaging
To preserve the flavor for the long transit to Europe, we offer specialized Bulk Vacuum Packaging (5kg, 10kg, 25kg) or custom retail branding.
