Food & Beverage sourcing FAQ
What food safety certifications should I look for?
HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) is the global baseline. ISO 22000 covers the full food safety management system. BRC (British Retail Consortium) is important for EU supermarket supply chains. For specific markets: FDA registration for the US, Halal for Muslim-majority markets, Kosher for Jewish dietary laws.
How do I manage import regulations for food products?
Food imports require import permits, phytosanitary certificates for agricultural produce, and product compliance with the destination country's food standards. Hire a licensed customs broker familiar with food regulations. The EU, US, and UAE have particularly strict entry requirements.
What are typical MOQs for food wholesale?
Agricultural commodities like grains typically have MOQs of 10–40 metric tonnes per container. Processed foods and packaged goods often start at a full 20ft container load (around 10,000–20,000 units). Smaller minimums available from trading companies.
How do I verify food product quality before shipping?
Use third-party pre-shipment inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek) with lab testing for the specific parameters your import regulations require. Specify sampling procedures and acceptance criteria in your purchase contract.
