How we work with international buyers
From first contact to shipment: one commercial partner that coordinates samples, quotes, documents and dispatch with each manufacturer.
A clear process, one point of contact
Lead times depend on the product and the manufacturer; we confirm them in writing in every quote.
- Inquiry
You tell us about your market, your channel and the categories you’re interested in.
- Portfolio & samples
We suggest products from the right brands and coordinate samples.
- Quote
Pack sizes, minimum quantities, Incoterm and lead times, confirmed with each manufacturer.
- Production
Each manufacturer produces its own line; we coordinate the full order.
- Documents & shipping
Export documents and dispatch based on the product and destination.
- Follow-up
Support through delivery and on your next orders.
Verified information, product by product
Registrations & certifications
Each manufacturer manages its own sanitary registrations and certifications. We share the current documents for every product you quote; no brand’s certification is presented as covering the others.
Incoterms & shipping
Origin: Colombia. The Incoterm, port of departure and transit time are set by product and destination and stated in writing in the quote.
Products by temperature
The portfolio includes frozen, beverage and shelf-stable products. We coordinate dispatch based on what each line requires.
- Frozen
- Beverages & pulps
- Snacks
What importers usually ask
What is the minimum order quantity?
It depends on the manufacturer and the product. Tell us the categories and estimated volume and we will confirm the minimum for each item in the quote.
Can I buy products from several brands in one order?
Yes, that is the point of Tropic Valleys: one commercial contact for several brands. Consolidating into a single shipment depends on each product’s temperature and logistics; we review it with you.
Is private label possible?
Private label is possible depending on each manufacturer’s capabilities. Tell us the product, market and volume and we will tell you what is feasible.
Does the labeling meet my country’s requirements?
Labeling and registration requirements (for example, FDA in the United States) are reviewed by product and destination before quoting. We don’t assume any requirement is met without the manufacturer’s documents.
Can I request samples?
Yes. We have already sent samples to the United States, Canada, the Bahamas and Spain. Tell us which products you’re interested in and we’ll arrange the shipment.
What are the payment terms and documents?
Payment terms and export documents are agreed in the commercial proposal for each order, based on the product, destination and Incoterm.
