Comprehensive trade documentation, Incoterms 2020 rules, primary loading ports (Karachi & Port Qasim), transit schedules, and quality certifications for importing premium zinc products worldwide.
BhattiZinc is Pakistan's premier non-ferrous metallurgical processor and global exporter of high-grade zinc products, operating continuous production and refining facilities in Gujranwala with maritime dispatches via Karachi Port Trust (KPT) and Port Muhammad Bin Qasim (PQA). Since 2001, BhattiZinc has executed over 2,500 international commercial shipments, supplying Special High Grade (SHG 99.995% Zn) ingots, secondary zinc ingots (95–98% Zn), zinc die-casting alloys (92–94% Zn), and industrial zinc oxide (99.99% ZnO) to 45+ destinations across the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Europe. All dispatches adhere to ISO 9001:2015 quality frameworks, EU REACH chemical compliance, and standardized Incoterms 2020 rules, backed by full spectrometric Certificates of Analysis and third-party pre-shipment inspection (SGS / Alfred H Knight).
International zinc procurement demands more than competitive spot pricing — reliable vessel booking, strict moisture-barrier packaging, precise customs documentation, and adherence to tight manufacturing schedules are paramount. BhattiZinc has exported refined zinc metals and zinc derivatives internationally for more than 25 years.
Through established partnerships with global ocean carriers (including Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, and Hapag-Lloyd) operating out of Karachi's dual deep-water ports, we ensure guaranteed container allocations and prompt bill of lading issuance. Our dedicated in-house trade desk manages customs clearance, export rebates, consular legalization, and phytosanitary certifications, giving overseas buyers transparent tracking and zero port-side demurrage delays.
Whether supplying continuous hot-dip galvanizers in the Gulf, die-casters in Southeast Asia, or tire and rubber chemical formulators in Europe, BhattiZinc acts as an integrated supply-chain extension with consistent metallurgical integrity.
Every consignment ships with full legal documentation: Commercial Invoice with HS codes, Packing List, Original negotiable B/L, Certificate of Origin (Form A / TDAP), Spectrometric CoA, ISPM-15 Fumigation, and GHS-compliant Safety Data Sheets.
We support Irrevocable Letters of Credit (L/C at sight) from first-class international banks, Telegraphic Transfer (T/T with 30% advance deposit and balance against copy BL), and Document Against Payment (D/P) to ensure secure bilateral trading.
Contracts negotiated under FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP, or DDP. We coordinate direct road container trailers from our Gujranwala plant to terminal berths at Karachi Port Trust and Port Qasim, providing seamless multimodal cargo handling.
Our zinc products conform to European REACH regulations, ASTM B6 standard specifications for zinc metal, and ISO 9001:2015 quality standards. We facilitate accredited third-party inspections via SGS or Alfred H Knight prior to departure.
Fast transit times from Pakistan’s deep-water ports: 5–7 days to Middle Eastern hubs (Jebel Ali / Dammam), 10–14 days to Southeast Asia (Singapore), and 20–28 days to European gateways (Rotterdam / Antwerp).
Registered with leading Pakistani commercial and foreign banking institutions, BhattiZinc facilitates competitive trade finance, export credit lines, and tailored shipment scheduling for regular monthly volume contracts.
BhattiZinc executes international non-ferrous sales under standard Incoterms® 2020 published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). These rules clearly define the division of costs, freight risks, insurance liability, and customs responsibilities between buyer and seller.
FOB Karachi: Buyer handles ocean freight from Karachi Port; recommended for buyers with global maritime carrier contracts.
CIF Destination: BhattiZinc covers freight and marine insurance to your port; popular for hassle-free procurement.
Importing non-ferrous metals requires absolute documentary accuracy to avoid customs holding fees and regulatory holdups. Every BhattiZinc dispatch is accompanied by an authenticated, bank-compliant documentation package.
Third-Party Pre-Shipment Inspections: At buyer request, independent surveying agencies such as SGS Pakistan or Alfred H Knight conduct pre-loading inspections directly at our warehouse or port container terminal. The survey inspects chemical composition through representative sampling, verify gross and tare container weights on certified weighbridges, and witness the placement of customs tamper-evident bottle seals.
BhattiZinc dispatches all sea-freight shipments through Pakistan's two primary deep-water shipping complexes on the Arabian Sea: Karachi Port Trust (KPT) and Port Muhammad Bin Qasim (PQA). Both ports offer dedicated container freight stations (CFS), electronic customs filing (WeBOC), and daily feeder sailings connecting to global mother vessels.

Zinc ingots and zinc chemicals require specialized stowage to prevent oxidation, water ingress, and cargo shifting during rough ocean voyages. BhattiZinc follows rigorous packaging protocols tailored to product form:
All BhattiZinc export invoices and bills of lading declare World Customs Organization (WCO) 6-digit Harmonised System codes. Please confirm destination country sub-headings with your local clearing agent.
