Q: What is the implement standard for importing Himalayan rock salt?

A: If importing edible Himalayan rock salt, it is necessary to carry out hygiene supervision of imported food in accordance with the relevant provisions of GB/T 5461-2016 Edible Salt. However, because the appearance of Himalayan rock salt is pink crystal, it does not meet the requirement of whiteness greater than or equal to 45 in the national standard for edible salt. If importing Himalayan rock salt for industrial use, no statutory inspection is required according to the commodity code. After the import of Himalayan rock salt for industrial use, the market supervision department will supervise and guide the national standard for industrial salt. For details, please consult the relevant department of the market supervision.
