Frequently asked questions
How do I verify an agriculture and food supplier before importing?
Cross-check the exporter's GLOBALG.A.P. or Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) audit against the certifying body's public registry, then request a recent certificate of analysis covering pesticide residues and microbiological limits. For perishables, confirm the packhouse holds a valid facility registration such as the US FDA FSVP or EU FTC number.
What certifications should food and beverage exporters typically hold?
Buyers commonly expect a GFSI-recognised scheme like BRCGS, FSSC 22000, or SQF, layered with HACCP plans and, where relevant, USDA Organic, EU Organic, or halal/kosher marks. Beverage and dairy exporters often add ISO 22000 and country-specific health certificates issued per shipment.
Which factors most affect landed cost for imported food products?
Cold-chain and reefer container rates, tariff-rate quotas on commodities like sugar and dairy, and border inspection fees for phytosanitary clearance are the biggest cost swings. Seasonality also matters, since off-season sourcing from the opposite hemisphere raises freight and lowers shelf life.
