Herbal Phenol / Phenyl Exporter & Supplier from India

Product overview

Herbal phenol, widely called phenyl in South Asia, is a staple floor and drain cleaner in homes, schools and workplaces across many import markets. It is sold as a concentrate that the user dilutes in a bucket, turning milky white and releasing a strong, clean scent that many buyers associate with a freshly mopped room. Because it is diluted heavily, a single bottle goes a long way, which makes it attractive for value-driven retail and for institutional supply.

GoodBiz Hygiene, a GoodBiz Global company, is a merchant exporter from India that sources phenyl from established disinfectant manufacturers. We do not run production lines ourselves. Instead we source herbal phenol from vetted Indian manufacturers, check the specification against your requirements and handle export documentation and shipping as a single point of contact.

Herbal profiles and grades

Neem, pine, eucalyptus and lemongrass are the main herbal profiles. Pine is the traditional choice and carries the strongest scent. Neem suits buyers who want a plant-based positioning, eucalyptus gives a sharper, medicinal note, and lemongrass is lighter and more citrus-like. Jasmine and rose variants are available for buyers who prefer a softer floral smell. Both black phenyl and white phenyl styles can be supplied, and the choice depends on what your customers expect.

Strength is the second decision. Economy grades are diluted more by the maker and sold at a lower price, while concentrated grades carry more active oil and allow a higher dilution rate. A specification sheet with typical emulsion behaviour is shared before you approve a sample.

Classification note

Herbal phenol is often classified under HSN 3808 94 as a disinfectant, depending on the formulation and the label claims, although some products ship under 3402 50. The HSN code shown is the 6-digit level, and the full 8-digit ITC-HS code is confirmed per order so your customs clearance matches the label.

Packaging for export

Phenyl goes in HDPE bottles with screw caps, 5 L and 20 L jerry cans with tamper seals, and 200 L drums for re-packers. Cartons of 12 to 24 bottles are shrink-wrapped. The strong smell means caps and liners must seal well, so leak testing before loading is worth requesting, and a container plan can be arranged.

Private label options

Phenyl brands compete on herbal oil blend and milky appearance. Buyers choose neem, pine, eucalyptus, lemongrass, jasmine or rose profiles, plus economy or concentrated strength. Labels must carry correct hazard wording for your country. Once the sample is signed off, bulk production typically takes 3-5 weeks.

Why source through GoodBiz Hygiene

Phenyl is sold in markets where disinfectant claims are regulated, so what the label may say varies. GoodBiz Hygiene checks with the manufacturer which classification and claims apply before you finalise artwork. FOB, CIF and CFR are available; payment terms are agreed per order (T/T or LC). Shipments leave from major Indian ports. The HSN code shown is the 6-digit level, and the full 8-digit ITC-HS code is confirmed for each order. Tell us your destination, preferred herbal oil and pack sizes and we will return a quotation.
