How to Import Food and Drink Products for a Small Business?

lionssg

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to start a small business focused on food and drink products, and I’m exploring the process of importing items from international suppliers. I’d love some guidance from anyone with experience in this area!

Specifically, I’m wondering:

1. What are the legal requirements for importing food and drink products (e.g., certifications, labeling, etc.)?
2. How do you find reliable suppliers for high-quality products?
3. Are there any tips for managing customs, shipping, and costs effectively?

If you’ve dealt with importing food or drinks before, your advice would be incredibly helpful. Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise!

Best regards,

You'd be better off asking in the Entrepreneurial & Business Management forum TBH.

Lions Sales Group? Aren't they the company that has the only private label bleach with NSF certification in Florida? That's a testament to their commitment to meeting the highest standards of quality and safety in their products and services.

Jog on, shill.
