Retailer-Driven International Sourcing

Are you a buyer looking for a product from a foreign supplier, but cannot source it because your company is unwilling to serve as the Foreign Supplier Verification Program Importer (FSVP Importer) or importer of record? Get in touch. We may be able to import the product for you and have it delivered directly to your distribution center.

You tell us the item you need, the price you want and, if applicable, the particular supplier(s) you want to source it from and we take care the rest.

When you request our sourcing services we:

  • Identify suppliers as appropriate
  • Verify the food safety practices of the suppliers
  • Act as the FSVP Importer
  • Serve as the importer of record
  • Obtain all required permits
  • Deliver to your named destination and more
