FAQ
Sulfur dioxide fumigation is calibrated specifically to destination regulatory requirements. For European Union consignments, residual SO2 is maintained strictly below 1,500 to 2,000 ppm, while Eurasian (EAEU) and GCC shipments conform to their respective national limits (up to 2,000 to 2,500 ppm). This retains brilliant golden clarity without chemical aftertaste, ensuring smooth customs clearance.
Cured raisins pass through centrifugal destemming drums that cleanly detach woody stems and capstems. The fruit then enters multi-stage vortex wash channels where heavy sand and quartz debris precipitate out. Finally, multi-channel optical color sorters eject dark, caramelized, or blemished berries, ensuring a luminous, uniform golden batch.
Moisture content is calibrated between 13.0% and 16.0%, keeping the berries supple and tender. A micro-coating of refined food-grade sunflower oil (under 0.5%) prevents inter-berry clumping and internal water loss. Sealing inside heavy food-grade polyethylene-lined cartons held below 15°C prevents fructose crystallization (sugaring) in transit.
The domestic MOQ is 1,000kg (100 master cartons of 10kg), while international export orders require a 20ft full container load (approx. 20 to 22 metric tons on stretch-wrapped pallets). Heavy-duty 5-ply export cartons lined with sealed blue food-grade polyethylene bags isolate the cargo from humidity swings, road dust, and foreign odors.
Export batches undergo HPLC assays to verify that Ochratoxin A (OTA) mycotoxin levels remain strictly below European tolerance limits (under 10 ppb), alongside comprehensive multi-residue pesticide screens. Shipments include detailed COAs (total sugars, moisture, SO2 content), IFDA manufacturing licenses, Phytosanitary certificates, and Certificates of Origin.
Golden raisins darken toward brown when exposed to storage temperatures above 20°C and direct sunlight. Cartons must be stored in cool warehouse facilities between 8°C and 15°C with 50% to 60% relative humidity. Avoiding light exposure and keeping inner liners sealed preserves brilliant amber-gold clarity for up to 24 months.
International buyers can obtain 500g to 2kg reference samples from active lots to evaluate color uniformity, berry caliber, and chemical specifications. Export settlements operate through certified exchange transfers (TT), authorized corporate bank accounts in the UAE or Oman, or Cash Against Documents (CAD) frameworks with agreed deposits.
