You may have seen boxes of borax for sale in your supermarket's laundry detergent aisle. According to "Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary Things," you can use borax, a natural, low-toxicity mineral, to clear clogged drains, get rid of sink stains, clean windows and mirrors, remove mildew from fabric, make rug stains disappear, kill weeds, neutralize the smell of urine and to perform a few other household miracles. It doesn't come as a surprise that you might decide to buy borax in bulk.
Step 1

Step 2
Buy bulk borax to distribute commercially. For example, you can buy it from Rio Tinto, one of the companies that mine borate and process it into borax. This option is if you need the mineral in large quantities to distribute to stores that will then sell it to consumers.
Step 3
Import bulk borax. You have to follow the trade laws of the country you're importing to. In the United States, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Trade Relations is the agency responsible for authorizing and overseeing international commercial transactions.
