The short answer
You can source Himalayan pink salt from Pakistani exporters as food-grade fine and coarse salt, grinder crystals, lumps, cooking blocks, bath salt and salt lamps, in bulk sacks or in retail packs under your own label. Decide the grade, the grain size and the packing first. Then ask each exporter for a sample, a written quote and the test reports your market needs.
What you can source
- Edible fine and coarse salt. Table, cooking and grinder grades in several grain sizes, in sacks or retail packs.
- Crystals and lumps. Whole pieces for grinders, dispensers and decorative use, sorted by size.
- Salt blocks and plates. Blocks for cooking, serving and curing.
- Bath and spa salt. Coarse and fine salt for baths and scrubs.
- Salt lamps and decor. Lamps, candle holders and decorative pieces, usually sold by the piece or by weight.
- Private label retail packs. Jars, grinders, pouches and boxes printed with your brand.
Grades and what to specify
Himalayan salt is sold in several grades. The same product name can cover very different quality, so say exactly what you need.
| Detail | What to ask |
|---|---|
| Use | Food, cosmetic or decor. Food-grade salt needs food-safety paperwork. Decor and lamp grades do not. |
| Colour | Light pink, pink or deep pink and red. Colour varies naturally, so ask for a sample of the actual grade. |
| Grain size | Fine, medium, coarse, crystal or lump. Give the size range in millimetres. |
| Purity and impurities | Ask for a laboratory report showing sodium chloride content, moisture and any insoluble matter. |
| Washing and drying | Whether the salt is washed, dried and sieved, and how it is checked for foreign matter. |
| Iodised or not | Natural Himalayan salt is not iodised. Some markets require iodine on table salt, so check yours. |
| Packing | Bulk sacks, 25 or 50 kg bags, retail pouches, jars or grinders, and the pallet and container loading plan. |

Food safety and documents
Salt sold as food must meet the rules of the market you sell in. These are general pointers, so confirm what applies with your importer or a regulatory adviser.
- Laboratory test report. Chemical analysis for the batch you buy, including heavy metals where your market asks for it.
- Food-safety certification. Some buyers ask for HACCP, ISO 22000 or a similar scheme. Ask what the exporter holds and check that it is current.
- Origin documents. A certificate of origin and the packing list. Some markets also need a phytosanitary or health certificate.
- Labelling. Ingredient, weight, batch and origin on retail packs, in the language your market requires.
- US and EU rules. Importers of food into the US or EU have extra registration and labelling requirements. Your importer can tell you what applies.
Minimum order, samples and lead time
Minimum orders depend on the exporter, the grade and the packing. Bulk orders are often priced per tonne or per container, and retail packs per carton. Always ask for a sample of the exact grade and have it tested before you place a large order. Ask each exporter for a written quote that states the price per unit, the minimum order, the lead time and what the price includes, such as packing, labelling and loading.
We can help you send the same brief to several exporters, compare their quotes and arrange samples. We can also arrange an independent inspection before shipment.
