Peak production windowIn short
The core value proposition is aggregation — pooling output from multiple farms to deliver one consistent, traceable lot rather than fragmented shipments.
- /01 We coordinate harvest allocation with salt farmers, grade and hand-sort the crystals, and pack them in food-safe export packaging.
- /02 Salt exports fall under HS heading 2501, which covers salt including table salt, whether or not in aqueous solution.
- /03 All lots use moisture barriers, because fleur de sel retains natural residual moisture and is hygroscopic.
- /04 Peak production occurs April–October during East Bali's dry season.

Why Source Fleur de Sel from Bali Instead of France?

FAQ
FAQ: Exporter Services
What is the minimum order for an export shipment?
Trial export orders typically start around 50 kg for air freight, which is sufficient to test sell-through in one or two stores. Sea-freight economics improve markedly from 500 kg upward, when documentation and handling costs spread across larger volumes.
What HS code applies to Bali fleur de sel?
Fleur de sel is classified under HS heading 2501, which covers salt including table salt, whether or not in aqueous solution. National subheadings and duty rates vary by destination; your customs broker confirms exact codes at import.
How long does delivery take from Bali?
Air freight to major Asia-Pacific, European, and North American hubs generally arrives within one to two weeks. Sea freight ranges from roughly two weeks to Singapore and Australia, up to five or six weeks to Europe and the Americas depending on routing.
Can you export other Bali salts alongside fleur de sel?
Yes. Most importers combine fleur de sel with coarse sea salt crystals, pyramid-style flakes, and fine sea salt in one consignment to build assortments while sharing freight costs. Mixed pallets are documented as single shipments.
