Classes and sizes
The Codex Standard for Ginger (CXS 218-1999) defines Extra, Class I and Class II, and sizes ginger by rhizome weight with codes A (300 g), B (200 g) and C (150 g). Please state the class, size code and whether you need fresh or air-dried ginger when you send an enquiry.
Packing
Packing format and net weight are agreed for each order. Specifications are confirmed on enquiry.
Storage and shipping
The USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 reports that mature ginger keeps for 60 to 90 days at 12 to 14 C with 85 to 90% relative humidity. Ginger is chilling sensitive, so it ships warmer than most fresh vegetables. These are published reference conditions, not a description of our own facilities.
Season
Shandong's agriculture department advises harvesting fresh ginger two to three days before the first autumn frost.
Documents
The document list is confirmed after the enquiry, according to the destination market. See our export compliance overview, the market notes for South Korea, the EU and the GCC, and our quality and traceability notes. Listing a product here does not mean it is admissible in any market; buyers confirm import conditions with their own authorities.
