Black Seeds (Nigella Sativa) Bulk Export

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

Pakistan's Trusted Black Seed Exporter Since 1985

Over the years, Harmain Global perfected its herbal export operations, making it one of the most trustworthy organizations 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 use as a measure of quality.
 
We do not broker. We own the supply chain from farm to container. 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
Our involvement is with farmers in Punjab and Sindh, Pakistan, where Nigella sativa grows in alluvial soil, unexposed to any nearby industrial pollution. The use of artificial pesticides is avoided. Fields are inspected pre-harvest by our field team or sourcing partners.. 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 the customer's mesh specification for black seed powder. Oil is extracted via cold-pressed extraction only — no solvent, no heat — preserving thymoquinone integrity. Our Gummies are manufactured in our GMP-compliant facility under halal and food-safety protocols.

4. Third-Party Lab Testing
Batch testing through SGS Pakistan can be arranged before shipment. Analysis includes: thymoquinone (HPLC), pesticide residues (multi-residue panel), aflatoxins, heavy metals (Pb, As, Cd, Hg), microbial safety (TPC, E.coli, Salmonella), and moisture.

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 liners are sealed with heat prior to external wrapping. Available packaging choices include: PP woven sacks · Kraft paper sacks · Aluminum foil sachets · HDPE drums (for oil) · Amber glass vials (for oil) · Cardboard boxes · Tailored private-label consumer packaging.

6. Documentation, Customs & Shipment
Full export documentation is prepared and verified before loading. The container is 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 the cargo is released at the destination.

FAQs

Q: Is your Nigella sativa Organic and pesticide-free?

Yes. All our black seed is grown and tested before export by SGS for multi-residue pesticide panels. We offer full chain-of-custody documentation, including the NOP Import Certificate (for US buyers, for federal certification) and organic certification (EU & USDA NOP aligned).

Q: How Much thymoquinone percentage can I expect?

Our whole seeds have a minimum 0.30% thymoquinone (dry weight basis by HPLC). Content of thymoquinone ranges from 0.4–1.5% in cold-pressed oil, depending on batch and season. CoA verified by HPLC from SGS with every batch, which means you can formulate without fear.

Q: Which certifications do you provide with each shipment?

Each export is accompanied by: SGS Certificate of Analysis, Certificate of Origin (Chamber of Commerce), Phytosanitary Certificate (Pakistan DPP), Commercial Invoice, Packing List & Bill of Lading Certificates available on request: Halal Certificate, Organic Certificate, GACC Certificate, Fumigation Certificate, Non-GMO Declaration; Free Sale Certificate; Allergen Statement; Kosher.

Q: Is black seed oil cold pressed or solvent extracted?

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

We provide deliveries that include FOB Karachi, CIF destination port, CFR & EXW. Container options include: 20ft FCL, 40ft FCL, or LCL groupage for LCL orders. Air freight is available for samples and any small orders that are urgent.
