Frequently asked questions
Is guar gum E412 approved in the UK post-Brexit?
Yes. Following EU exit, the UK retained the EU food additive regulation. Guar gum (E412) remains an approved additive under FSA oversight, with the same specification recognised by EFSA's 2017 re-evaluation. Each batch is supplied with a COA matching retained EU specs.
What are typical shipping times from India to the UK?
21–24 days direct from Mundra to Felixstowe or Southampton, 26–30 days for transhipment via Antwerp or Rotterdam. We hold ready stock on common food grades to compress production lead times.
Do you supply Kosher- and Halal-certified guar gum to UK buyers?
Yes. All HICOL food grades carry Kosher (OU/Star-K equivalent) and Halal certification accepted by major UK retailers and Halal-certified processors.
What mesh sizes are standard for UK bakery manufacturers?
UK industrial bakery typically specifies 200 or 300 mesh HICOL-3500 / HICOL-5000 for gluten-free, sourdough and frozen-dough applications. We also supply 100 mesh for slow-hydration requirements.
Can you handle UK GB customs and EORI documentation?
Our export team prepares the invoice, packing list, BL, Certificate of Origin and COA aligned to UK requirements. Buyers with a GB EORI handle import clearance; DDP customers receive landed pricing via our UK broker network.
Do you supply organic guar gum to UK natural-products brands?
Yes. HICOL Organic Guar Gum carries EU Organic / UK Organic equivalence certification, accepted by UK Soil Association-listed brands.
