For US wholefood buyers

Organic and natural ingredients for US natural food brands, co-packers and distributors, with the documents US imports require.

Built for US organic imports

Organic products imported into the US need to be certified to the USDA National Organic Program, and each shipment needs an NOP import certificate. We confirm the exporter certification and import certificate process before an offer is made.

Food imports also need FDA prior notice before arrival, and the foreign facility must be registered with the FDA. We confirm these with the producer as part of our checks.

Delivery

Shipments to US buyers are usually CIF or CFR to a main port, with onward delivery by agreement:

  • Los Angeles and Long Beach
  • New York and New Jersey
  • Savannah
  • Houston
  • Other US ports on request

Fairtrade and speciality

Fairtrade and other speciality certifications are available on many lines, including sugar and coffee, for brands with those commitments.
