How to approach a food and beverage importer

1

Match the specification first

Check the buyer's category, certification list and Incoterms before making contact. An offer that ignores required certification is the most common reason exporters get no reply.

2

Lead with landed cost

Importers compare on landed cost per ton or per container, not FOB alone. Quote the Incoterm the buyer listed and state validity, payment terms and lead time up front.

3

Attach the documents

Include a spec sheet, certificate of analysis, packing details and shelf life. Buyers with retail listings need EU- or GCC-compliant labelling artwork early.
