About this product
Zanzibar's cloves grow mostly on Pemba island; the main harvest runs roughly July–December and Zanzibar hand-picked is a well-known premium quality.
Commtora sources cloves from Zanzibar (Pemba), Tanzania, specified by grade, headless share and moisture, and prices every offer as a landed cost to your port — FOB origin, freight, import duty for your market where due, and fees — against independent references where they exist. Payment terms and documents are agreed per contract.
Grades & specifications
Hand-picked vs FAQ, headless cloves (e.g. ≤ 3–5 %), stems, moisture (≤ 12–13 %) and volatile oil. Madagascar grades such as CG1/CG2 are quoted by exporters.
How Commtora prices it
We compare against independent references for your market — such as customs import statistics where they exist — add freight, import duty for your market and fees to your port, and quote an origin offer on written terms.
Frequently asked questions
Why are Zanzibar and Madagascar cloves priced differently?
Origin reputation, oil content and sorting standards differ; hand-picked Zanzibar cloves usually trade at a premium to FAQ lots.
What is the HS code for cloves?
HS 0907.10 at six digits. The full tariff line and the duty depend on your market — confirm both for your import.
