Psyllium Husk Supply to Duisburg Market

Duisburg handles pharma ingredient imports through Duisport, Europe's largest inland port with direct Rhine access. German pharmaceutical manufacturers source psyllium husk here because of fast customs clearance and rail links to production facilities across North Rhine-Westphalia. The port moves 40 million tons annually. Indian psyllium reaches Duisburg via Rotterdam transshipment or direct container service from Mundra. Lead time runs 35-42 days port-to-port. Buyers prefer this route over Hamburg for lower inland freight costs to Ruhr region pharmaceutical plants. Most orders are 1-2 containers monthly for laxative production lines.

Pharmaceutical Grade 95% Specifications

This grade maintains maximum 12% moisture content and minimum 95% purity with less than 5% foreign matter. Mesh size ranges 40-80 for uniform particle distribution. Swelling index exceeds 40, critical for laxative efficacy. USP and BP certification means it passes heavy metal limits, microbial counts, and ash content tests required by European Pharmacopoeia. The 95% purity level works for bulk laxative formulations where cost matters more than ultra-refined grades. Consistent swelling properties ensure predictable dosing in tablet and powder formats.

Freight to Duisburg runs lower than other German ports due to Rhine barge options. This grade offers good margins for formulators who don't need ultra-refined specifications. Payment terms flexible for repeat orders.
