PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Our Product Development team is dedicated to handling projects from beginning to end, including sourcing, compliance, importing, co-packing, marketing and final logistics. Our in-house designer develops product packaging, renderings and pallet configurations to meet each customer’s unique needs while our suppliers’ portfolio allow us to develop new items that meet and exceed our clients’ expectations. The Product Development team also offers private label services. We ensure clear and transparent communication with customers guiding them every step of the way in the creation of their final product.

Our expertise and long-standing relationships with our suppliers give us and our clients an edge over the competition when it comes to sourcing premium products.

LOGISTICS

We are proud to offer our suppliers and customers a comprehensive range of international shipping logistic services. Our highly trained and knowledgeable logistics department handles the import and export of all refrigerated, frozen and dry food products. We handle everything from the customs clearance to final distribution, while ensuring a secure supply chain, thanks to our established partnerships. We work with truckers and warehouses across the country with storage solutions on both the East and West Coasts. Our team of specialists can assist with all concerns regarding the import and export flow along with maritime trade routes. 

COMPLIANCE

The Overseas Food Trading’s Regulatory Compliance team consists of members holding PCQI, FSVP certifications and a licensed Customs Broker. Our in-house customs broker uses reasonable care when classifying new and current imported products to ensure that Customs can correctly calculate duties, collect accurate statistics and determine if other applicable legal requirements have been met. The supplier approval program is conducted by the compliance team, which collectively researches FDA, USDA and NAFTA rulings, gathers mandatory FSMA documents, evaluates and approves suppliers prior to importation. Once a verified supplier, the team continually monitors and maintains supplier documentation.

Overseas Food Trading is a member of Association of Food Industries, a leading organization that offers workshops and provides the latest industry news and updates.
