FAQ
The company supplies export-grade Khorasan saffron in Super Negin, Premium Negin, Sargol, Pushal, and saffron style/cream powder. Packaging formats range from retail-ready Khatam metal tins and polystyrene crystal containers to 4-layer metalized pouches and bulk food-grade aluminum tins from 500g to 5kg for international re-packing and food processing facilities.
Every export consignment undergoes spectrophotometric analysis in dedicated laboratories in compliance with ISO 3632-1/2. Crucial quality indicators such as coloring strength (Crocin at 440nm exceeding 240–270+ for Super Negin), aroma (Safranal at 330nm between 30–50), and bitterness (Picrocrocin at 257nm above 80) are strictly tested. Moisture is kept below 7%, and complete absence of synthetic colorants is validated on each Certificate of Analysis (COA).
Yes, automated packing infrastructure supports OEM and Private Label requirements for foreign supermarket brands and distributors. Clients can specify packaging weights (from 0.1g sachets to 1kg wholesale tins), customized box designs, and multilingual compliance labels meeting target market regulations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
The company holds official EU Organic Certification audited and issued through CERES Germany, registered and verifiable on the EASY-CERT portal. Manufacturing and sorting facilities additionally operate under certified ISO 22000, HACCP, ISO 9001, and Halal management frameworks ensuring complete global compliance.
The export department issues complete documentation including Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Chamber of Commerce Certificate of Origin, Phyto-sanitary Certificate, and official Laboratory COA. Shipments are managed under Incoterms (CIP, FOB, EXW, CIF) primarily via dedicated air freight from Mashhad or Tehran international airports, or temperature-monitored ground logistics.
Wholesale bulk saffron MOQ starts at 1 kg, whereas retail-packaged SKU orders require a minimum of 500 units per packaging format. Dispatch lead times average 5 to 10 working days depending on custom packaging specifications, followed by 48–72 hours for airport export customs processing.
Saffron must be stored in a cool, dry, dark environment below 20°C (ideally 15–18°C) with relative humidity below 40%. Hermetically sealed containers with oxygen and moisture barriers prevent degradation of colorant crocin and evaporation of volatile safranal compounds.
For preliminary verification, 5g to 10g analytical samples accompanied by current batch COAs are dispatched via express courier services within 3 to 5 business days. Sample dispatch freight costs are typically credited against the client's subsequent initial commercial container or air cargo order.
