Black Seeds (Nigelle Sativa) Bulk Export

Export-grade black seedpowdercold-pressed oil & gummies — SGS-certified, pesticide-free, GACC-registered. MOQ 1MT · FOB Karachi

Pakistan's Trusted Black Seed Exporter Since 1985

With the passage of years, Harmain Global perfected its herbal export operations, making it one of the most trustworthy organisations in Pakistan. The Nigella sativa we offer — popularly known as kalonji, habbatus sauda, or black cumin worldwide — is supplied directly from contracted farms located in both Punjab and Sindh because the climate and soil conditions in these provinces generate seeds with a naturally higher level of thymoquinone, an active compound that buyers and regulators provide as a measure of quality.
 
We do not broker. We own the supply chain from farm to container. Every batch is third-party tested by SGS Pakistan before loading — because your downstream buyers and customs offices accept SGS certificates without question. When international importers ask where to buy bulk Nigella sativa with guaranteed documentation, Pakistan — and Harmain Global — is the answer.

Our 6-Stage Export Process

Every step is documented. Every stage is quality-gated. This is how your black seed moves from a Pakistani farm to your warehouse — reliably, on schedule, fully certified.

Harmain Global Imports And Exports

1. Farm Sourcing & Contracted Cultivation
We work with contracted farms in Punjab and Sindh, Pakistan — where Nigella sativa grows in the alluvial soil with no industrial contamination nearby. No synthetic pesticides are used. Fields are inspected pre-harvest by our agronomist. Seeds are harvested at peak maturity when thymoquinone levels are highest.

2. Cleaning, Drying & Primary Grading
Raw seeds pass through multi-stage cleaning — destoning, winnowing, gravity separation — removing all foreign matter to below 1%. Sun-drying followed by controlled mechanical drying brings moisture to export-safe levels (≤8%). Hand-sorting removes any off-colour or broken seeds.

3. Processing: Powder, Oil & Gummies Whole seeds are milled to customer mesh specification for black seed powder. Oil is extracted via cold-press only — no solvent, no heat — preserving thymoquinone integrity. Gummies are manufactured in our GMP-compliant facility under halal and food-safety protocols.

4. Third-Party Lab Testing
Each batch is sampled and sent to SGS Pakistan before packaging. Tests cover: thymoquinone (HPLC), pesticide residues (multi-residue panel), aflatoxins, heavy metals (Pb, As, Cd, Hg), microbial safety (TPC, E.coli, Salmonella), and moisture. Zero shipments leave without passing all parameters.

5. Packaging & Labelling
Packed to your specification. Standard or custom labelling in English or your local language. Batch number, harvest date, net weight, HS code, and our contact details on every unit. Moisture-barrier inner bags heat-sealed before outer packaging.Packaging options: PP woven bags · Kraft paper bags · Aluminium foil pouches · HDPE drums (oil) · Amber glass bottles (oil) · Cardboard cartons · Custom private-label retail packs.

6. Documentation, Customs & Shipment
Full export documentation prepared and verified before loading. Container sealed at our facility and forwarded to Karachi Port. Real-time tracking shared: vessel name, container number, BL details, ETA. We support your customs broker until cargo is released at destination.

FAQs

Is your Nigella sativa pesticide-free and organic?

Yes. All our black seed is grown under pesticide-free farming practices and tested by SGS for multi-residue pesticide panels before export. Organic certification (EU & USDA NOP aligned) is available for buyers who require it, with full chain-of-custody documentation including the NOP Import Certificate for US buyers.

What thymoquinone percentage can I expect?

Our whole seeds carry a minimum of 0.30% thymoquinone (dry weight basis, measured by HPLC). Cold-pressed oil typically ranges 0.4–1.5% thymoquinone depending on batch and season. Each shipment comes with an HPLC-verified CoA from SGS so you can formulate with confidence.

Which certifications do you provide with each shipment?

Standard with every export: SGS Certificate of Analysis, Certificate of Origin (Chamber of Commerce), Phytosanitary Certificate (Pakistan DPP), Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and Bill of Lading. On request: Halal Certificate, Organic Certificate, GACC Certificate, Fumigation Certificate, Non-GMO Declaration, Free Sale Certificate, Allergen Statement, Kosher.

Is black seed oil cold-pressed or solvent-extracted?

Cold-pressed only. We do not use hexane or any chemical solvent. The oil is mechanically extracted at controlled low temperatures to preserve thymoquinone, fatty acids (linoleic, oleic), and natural antioxidants. This is documented in the CoA and a signed cold-press declaration available for EU and US buyers.

What shipping terms and container sizes do you offer?

We offer FOB Karachi, CIF destination port, CFR, and EXW. Container options: 20ft FCL, 40ft FCL, or LCL groupage for orders below container load. Air freight available for samples and urgent small orders.

Can you supply private-label black seed products?

Yes. We offer private-label and white-label for all four product formats — whole seed, powder, oil, and gummies. We can design packaging in English or any language, add your brand, and supply retail-ready units. MOQ for private label varies by format; contact us for details.
