Clause 02 — One shipment
Bag to vessel
The arithmetic behind a standard lot, so you can check it against your own container plan before asking for a price.
Bag15 KG
Kraft bag, stitched and stencilled with commodity, origin and net weight.
Count1,200
Bags in a full standard lot, palletised or floor-loaded to your instruction.
Lot18 MT
One 20-foot container, weight-loaded rather than volume-loaded.
TermsFOB
On board at the port of loading. Freight, insurance and import clearance sit with you.
Clause 03 — Payment
Two ways to settle
Pick whichever suits your bank. Both are quoted at the same price.
Option A
30% advance, 70% against documents
The advance confirms the lot and starts procurement. The balance falls due against shipping documents by telegraphic transfer.
Option B
Irrevocable letter of credit at sight
Opened through a reputable bank, workable and free of restrictive clauses. Send us the draft text before you open it and we will check it against the terms above.
Clause 04 — The crop
A very old seed, still in demand
Sesamum indicum is among the oldest cultivated oilseeds, grown across Asia and Africa for thousands of years and still valued for the same three things: a nutty flavour, a stable oil, and a good nutritional profile. Pakistan's dry autumn harvest suits it well — the capsules split open in the field and the crop is cut and sun-dried before threshing.
Hulled white sesame is the grade that travels furthest. Removing the outer hull leaves a pale, clean, mild-tasting seed that bakers and confectioners can put straight on a product without it dominating. That same lack of hull is why purity and moisture control matter more here than on any other sesame grade — there is nothing left to hide a defect behind.
Clause 05 — Varieties
Which sesame you need
We ship hulled white as our standard line. If your formulation calls for one of the others, ask and we will quote it.
| Variety | Colour | Flavour | Typical use | Oil content |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| White, hulled | Ivory, pale | Mild, faintly sweet | Bakery topping, confectionery, tahini | High |
| White, unhulled | Cream to tan | Nuttier, more assertive | Oil pressing, health food, whole-seed retail | High |
| Black | Dark brown to black | Stronger, slightly bitter | East Asian cooking, black sesame oil, garnish | Moderate to high |
Origin, seed size, moisture and processing all move the grade. Two lots labelled "white sesame" are not the same product — always buy against a written specification.
Clause 06 — End uses
Where the seed ends up
Most of our enquiries come from one of these five directions.
Milling
Bakery
Bread and crackers
The hulled white seed is the standard topping on buns, flatbreads and crackers — it toasts evenly and stays pale.
Confectionery
Halva and snaps
Halva, sesame snaps and laddoo all depend on the seed's fat content for texture as much as taste.
Paste
Tahini
A Middle Eastern staple, and increasingly a Western one. Tahini buyers are the strictest on colour and bitterness.
Garnish
Finishing
Stir-fries, salads, sushi, dressings. Small volumes, high visual expectations.
Markets
Who is buying
Clean-label demand drives Europe; traditional sweets and flatbreads drive the Gulf; sesame oil keeps it a pantry staple across Asia.
Clause 07 — Field to container
How the lot is made
Seven steps between the standing crop and a sealed container. Nothing goes to export packing until the lab result is back.
Threshing
Cut and sun-dried plants are threshed to separate seed from pod.
Cleaning
Dust, stems, stones and other foreign matter are removed mechanically.
Hulling
The outer hull is taken off to produce the pale, mild hulled white grade.
Sorting
Graded by size and colour so the lot arrives uniform, not merely clean.
Drying
Moisture is brought down and held there — the single biggest factor in shelf life and mould risk.
Laboratory analysis
Each batch is sampled and tested before it is released for packing.
Packing and loading
Filled into food-grade bags, tagged, sealed, and stuffed under clean loading conditions.
Clause 08 — Quality and food safety
What we test for
A recall costs more than a container. Every batch is screened before release, and the certificate of analysis travels with the documents.
Test
Aflatoxins
Screened per batch. Tell us your destination limit and we will confirm the lot meets it before shipment.
Test
Pesticide residues
Checked against the standard applicable to your import market.
Test
Heavy metals
Part of the standard batch panel.
Test
Microbiological load
Screened before release, with results stated on the CoA.
Control
Moisture
Specified per lot and verified on the CoA rather than promised in general terms.
Control
Storage
Held cool and dry, protected from humidity and pests, with fast transit to the port after stuffing.
If your buyer or auditor requires a specific accredited laboratory or an additional parameter, name it in the enquiry and we will arrange the test.
Clause 09 — Packing
One bag, 15 KG
We pack in a single format. It keeps the count predictable, the stencilling consistent and the loading fast.
Format
15 KG kraft bags
Food-grade kraft paper, stitched closed. The only packing we ship.
Count
1,200 bags per lot
Exactly 18 MT net to a 20-foot container, with no part bags to reconcile at your end.
Marking
Stencilled bags
Commodity, origin and net weight on every bag. Your own marks and lot codes can be added — send artwork with the order.
Handling
Sealed and tagged
Each bag sealed and tagged before stuffing, palletised or floor-loaded as your discharge port requires.
Clause 10 — Documentation
What travels with the goods
Price is the easy part of a sesame contract. Paperwork is where shipments actually get stuck, so ask any supplier for this list before you send an advance.
Doc
Certificate of analysis
Batch-specific, stating purity, moisture and the safety panel.
Doc
Phytosanitary certificate
Issued by the plant protection authority for the shipment.
Doc
Certificate of origin
Confirming Pakistan origin for your customs entry.
Doc
Bill of lading and packing list
With the commercial invoice, this is the set the 70% balance is paid against.

Appoint an inspection agency at loading if your buyer requires it.
Clause 11 — Working with us
Why buyers stay
01
One commodity
We are not a general trading house. Sesame is the whole business, which is why the specification on this page is this precise.
02
Consistent lots
Sorting and moisture control are set to deliver the same seed on the second container as the first.
03
Flexible volume
From a single 18 MT container to repeat monthly programmes under contract.
04
Direct, no layers
Buying from the exporter means transparent pricing, faster answers and one party accountable for the lot.
05
Documentation handled
Our team prepares the export set and walks your side through clearance if it is your first Pakistan shipment.
06
Straight answers
If a crop is short or a moisture spec is not achievable in a given month, we will say so before you open an LC.
Clause 12 — Questions
Before you buy
How do I buy sesame seeds in bulk?
Buy against a written specification from a licensed exporter, not against a price quoted on a phone call. Agree the commodity, purity, moisture, packing, incoterm and payment terms in a proforma invoice first. For steady requirements we also write contract supply agreements that fix the specification across several shipments.
What makes a sesame seed supplier trustworthy?
Traceability from crop to container, batch-specific certificates rather than generic ones, and an exporter who answers awkward questions directly. If a supplier will not give you a moisture figure in writing before shipment, that tells you something.
Are all white sesame seeds the same?
No. Origin, seed size, moisture, hulling method and sorting all change the grade and the price. Ask for the full specification and compare like with like — a 99% purity lot and a 99.97% lot are different products.
How should sesame seeds be stored after arrival?
Cool, dry, off the floor, away from humidity and protected from pests. Hermetically sealed or lined packaging holds condition longest. The hulled grade has no hull to protect it, so storage discipline matters more than with unhulled seed.
What is the difference between a sesame exporter and a supplier?
An exporter ships overseas and handles the customs and documentation that go with it; a supplier may only serve the domestic market. We do both, so the same lot can go to a local mill or onto a vessel.
Can you ship CIF or CFR instead of FOB?
Yes. The price on this page is FOB. Give us your discharge port in the enquiry and we will quote CFR or CIF against it.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. Tell us the destination address in your enquiry and we will send a sample of the current lot with its certificate of analysis so you can test it against your own specification.
