Export Information — Importing Himalayan Salt from Pakistan
Al Goher Trader has shipped Himalayan salt to more than fifty countries since 1990. This page covers the practical side of importing from us: minimums, pricing, lead times, and the paperwork we prepare so your shipment clears customs the first time.
Minimum Order Quantities
Salt lamps and candle holders start from 500 units or a mixed pallet; edible and bath salt from one tonne in 25 kg bags; tiles and bricks and licks from one pallet. Full 20ft and 40ft containers get the best pricing, and first-time buyers can combine products in one mixed container. LCL and mixed pallets are available for smaller first orders.
Pricing, Payment & Lead Times
We quote FOB Karachi or CIF to your destination port in USD — send your product list, quantities, and port for a detailed quote within one business day. Payment is by bank transfer (T/T) with a deposit on confirmation and balance against shipping documents, or an irrevocable letter of credit for larger contracts. Production typically runs two to four weeks; sea freight from Karachi adds roughly two to three weeks to the Gulf, four to five to Europe, and five to seven to North America.
Documentation & Logistics
We arrange container loading, sea freight, and the full document set: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, and destination-specific paperwork. A single 20ft container carries about 24–26 tonnes of bagged salt or roughly 2,400–2,800 boxed lamps in mixed weight bands. Request a quote or check the FAQ for more.
