Buying Dehydrated Onion via Dutch Traders or Direct from India: Price, Risk and Convenience
Most Indian dehydrated onion used in Germany arrives through Rotterdam and Antwerp, resold by traders at a quarter to a half over the Indian price. What that margin actually buys, stock, credit, an EU invoice and someone else's risk; what going direct saves and costs; the volume at which each route wins; the hybrid an exporter with European service offers; and how to decide.

Allergens, Gluten and Dehydrated Onion: What the Declaration Should Say
Pure dehydrated onion contains none of the fourteen substances the EU requires to be declared, and a buyer still needs a proper allergen statement, because the statement is about the plant as much as the product.

Importing Dehydrated Onion into Germany: Duty, EORI, Documents and Who Buys

Pesticide Residues in Dehydrated Onion: EU MRLs and How Suppliers Test
Residues are the test most likely to fail an otherwise perfect lot, and the one where arithmetic matters as much as chemistry: an MRL set on fresh onion, a product concentrated eight times by drying, and laboratories that apply the factor differently. The substances used on Indian onion, the EU MRL system, the multi-residue screen and its LOQ, control at source, reading a report, and marginal results.

Sulphites in Dehydrated Onion: Why They Are Used, EU Limits and Sulphite-Free Options
