# International Export Consultant / Business Partner for Himalayan Salt Hi, I’m from Pakistan. My father’s business is focused on producing high-quality edible Himalayan salt. We extract salt from our own mines and also operate salt processing plants/industries where we refine it into iodized edible salt. Currently, we supply salt across Pakistan to various major food companies, which sell it under their own brands. We also work with exporters who purchase our salt in bulk and export it to international markets. We produce several types of salt, including: * Edible salt (iodized and non-iodized) * Himalayan pink salt (fine and coarse) * Salt lamps * Industrial and livestock salt Our main challenge is that we do not currently have enough knowledge or experience with international exporting. We want to understand and establish the complete process of exporting our products from Pakistan, including: * Export registration and legal requirements * Required documents, certifications, and licenses * Food safety and international compliance requirements * Proper packaging and labeling for international markets * Shipping, customs, and logistics * Finding and connecting with genuine international buyers/importers * Payment methods and reducing the risk of fraud * Identifying the most suitable international markets for our products We are looking for an experienced export consultant or specialist who can guide us through the complete process and help us establish a proper system for exporting our salt internationally. We are also open to a **long-term business partnership** with someone who has strong experience in international sales, export business, e-commerce, or B2B marketplaces. ### Partnership Opportunity If someone is interested in working with us as a business partner rather than only as a consultant, we are open to discussing a partnership arrangement. Our side would be responsible for: * Providing the salt and other products * Managing production and processing * Providing the required product quantities * Handling product quality and supply * Providing product information, samples, photos, and other necessary materials * Managing the local/Pakistan-side operations The partner's main responsibility would be to: * Build and manage the online/international sales platform * Find genuine international buyers and importers * Generate export leads * Handle international customer communication and business development * Help manage the export sales process * Develop international markets for our products The exact partnership structure, responsibilities, and profit-sharing arrangement can be discussed and agreed upon based on the partner's experience and contribution. We are currently operating offline and supplying customers across Pakistan, and we now want to expand into international markets. If you are interested, please mention your previous experience with **Pakistan-based exports, international B2B sales, Himalayan salt, food products, or similar businesses**. If you are interested in a partnership, please also explain how you would approach building the international market for our products. We are looking for someone who can either **guide us through the export process professionally or potentially become a long-term business partner**.

Hi There, You already have the hardest operational foundation in place your own salt supply, processing capability, existing domestic customers, and multiple product categories. The next challenge is building a structured route from that production capability to genuine international buyers. I have 5 years of experience in B2B lead generation, international outreach, sales, and business development, including work across UAE, USA, and UK markets. My strongest contribution would be on the international market-development and buyer-acquisition side rather than presenting myself as a customs or food-compliance specialist. I would approach the expansion by: • Prioritising markets and buyer segments for each product category • Identifying importers, distributors, wholesalers, private-label buyers, and relevant decision-makers • Building a verified international prospect pipeline • Developing personalised outreach and follow-up sequences • Qualifying genuine buying interest before commercial discussions • Creating a structured process for samples, quotations, follow-ups, and buyer communication • Tracking market feedback to refine pricing, positioning, packaging, and targeting I’m also open to discussing a longer-term business-development partnership once we understand the products, margins, target markets, and commercial structure. Relevant B2B lead-generation and international business-development work is available in my portfolio. Best regards, Muhammad Subhan

Hi, I am bidding on the consulting side, not the partnership. What you need first is a written export playbook you can actually follow, and that is what I will deliver. It will cover Pakistan export registration and the documents you need per shipment, the food safety and labelling requirements for your main target markets, packaging norms for pink salt fine and coarse, and the shipping and customs steps with who does what. I will also give you a shortlist of 25 to 40 real importers and distributors with company, country, website and contact page, pulled from public trade directories and buyer listings, plus notes on which markets suit edible salt versus lamps. On payment I will set out the safe options, LC and advance terms, and the common fraud patterns to avoid with new buyers. Everything is sourced with links so your team can verify it. 4 days, one revision, and I am happy to start with the market shortlist so you can see the quality early.
