In simple words

Who buys it, and where to start

Diaspora grocers and families abroad buy Pakistani foods they cannot find locally, especially for Ramadan and Eid. Importers buy basmati rice, mangoes, kinnow and dried fruit in bulk.

Good first products

Biryani masala: Spice mixes are dry, light and keep well, so they ship more easily than fresh food.
Multani sohan halwa: It keeps for a long time and ships well for Eid gifts.
Hunza apricots: Dried apricots keep well and have a strong mountain origin story.

Be careful with

Fresh fruit, meat, fish and dairy spoil quickly and need air freight or cold storage, so they suit experienced exporters only.
Do not make health claims about foods such as honey or herbal tea.
Rice and lentils are crowded and earn little per bag for small sellers.

How to start

Ask your supplier for lab test reports and check the packing date and shelf life.

Rules in plain words

What to check

Food is heavily regulated, so testing or registration may be needed. Most countries require correct labels with ingredients and allergens, and the US requires FDA registration for food facilities. Fresh fruit and plants need a phytosanitary (plant-health) certificate, and perishable foods suit air freight or wholesale only.

Food, cosmetics and supplements: they need proper labels, and often lab tests or registration. (237 product types)
Fresh fruit, plants and seeds need a plant-health certificate to cross borders. (75 product types)
Some items are heavy, bulky or perishable. Sell them wholesale (in bulk to shops), not as single parcels. (34 product types)
Children's products: they need safety tests for small parts, cords and chemicals before you sell them. (9 product types)

This is a summary, not legal advice. See the compliance checklist.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I send homemade food abroad to sell?

Selling food abroad usually needs a registered maker, proper labels and sometimes lab tests. Food without this paperwork may be stopped at the border. Learn the rules for one country first.

Which foods are easiest for beginners?

Dry, long-lasting foods like spice mixes, dried fruit, sohan halwa and tea are easiest. They do not spoil quickly and are lighter to ship.

Can I sell Pakistani mangoes abroad?

Mangoes like Chaunsa and Sindhri are a summer fruit, and diaspora buyers often pre-order boxes. Fresh fruit needs air freight and a plant-health certificate, so most beginners sell through an experienced exporter.
