Hi tim i need almond sellers contact can you help me
Are you seeking buyers of Almonds in the United States? Thank you, Kumer.
Hi Tim, are there special requirements for importing seafood into the us? Perhaps you’ve had a video on it? Thanks in advance
Thank you for the note. In addition to the FSMA and the various standards for safe and wholesome food imports, there are rules on safe fishing practices that must be followed. The seafood must be sourced from fisheries that comply with sustainable fishing practices. Local government regulations, including quotas and restrictions on certain species, must be adhered to. Importers should ensure that the seafood is legally harvested and meets international conservation standards. Proof of compliance with local and international fishing regulations may be required during the import process. This is a general list and if we can assist, reach out.
Hey tim i want to export indian spices to united states. Do you help in connecting with the buyers of indian spices in USA???

Hi tim where can i find the standard protocol that i need to follow
Great question! The standard protocol for compliance can be complex, as it involves multiple agencies, rules, and procedures. It’s challenging to find all this information in one place, which is why we offer specialized consulting to help navigate it. I’d recommend checking out an article on my website that gives an overview in the form of the checklist mid-page, and feel free to reach out if you need more detailed guidance.

Sir, How to get in touch with distributors, who would want to import the relevant products, what i way out for that
Generally, distributors can choose from dozens of suppliers. They are not seeking new snack or cookie suppliers you will need to educate and share with them how you will make them rich.

@@johng8534 Thanks, John!
Love how clear and direct this is. Interesting how the importance of "packaging" can really apply to any industry. I had a friend with a background in sound engineering; he could not find a decent-paying job until he "repackaged" his job description as "sound design" (if I remember correctly). And I like the sound effects when the text appears on the screen; it's strangely satisfying!
Thank you.
Hi Tim please share your e mail id
How this only has 130 views is crazy... Gold information. Thanks Tim.
Thanks, John. I appreciate your note and agree that this information is extremely valuable and practical. The tips in this video helped me assist my clients in raising over $20 million.
It's so counter-intuitive to focus on the micro rather than the macro as most people and businesses do. But great to know that's where to start in new markets. Thank you for sharing great information in under two minutes! Incredible!
Thank you so much, Julie! Your rare and special vision is truly remarkable-x-ray vision! It's wonderful to hear that the micro approach resonated with you and I had not considered the framework you shared. Wishing you continued success and peace
The whole video is about you advertising for your service, no information about the HOW TO become an approved vendor. It's not worth watching at all
Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. I understand you're looking for more detailed steps on becoming an approved vendor. Here are a few key points: LINK www.timforrest.com/mastering-the-art-of-selling-to-costco-wholesale-your-comprehensive-guide/ Also, I've offered folks in the video the opportunity to receive my PDF guide on Costco Wholesale too.

Hey team, I come from Indonesia, how can I export spices and coffee to the USA?
Great question. You will need to locate a partner in the United States to assist with this effort. The US purchases half of the worlds food. The financial reward is so great that most suppliers of any size are attacking the market. In order to compete, you will need a presence here and a connection to the market. Who do you currently know that lives and operates in the United States? What avenues and methods can you obtain new connections in the USA? How can your governments export offices assist in your expanding connections? What are you reading and who do you know in Indonesia that is already exporting to the USA? Much success.
I have noticed that we first "eat" with our eyes so that makes sense that spending $ on quality food photography is a wise investment, even reading a detailed description of food can make me drool. 🤣 So the winning formula is quality food photography and good copy - my takeaway from this informative video and the offer of the book is amazing! Thank you!!
Hello sir, Myself Sakir Ghanchi from India and I'm working as a seafood Sourching agent in Gujarat, India. How can I will find seafood Buyer i. USA? Give me your valuable tips.
Ensure compliance with FDA and NOAA regulations by working with a U.S. import agent to navigate customs and regulatory requirements effectively. Attend seafood industry conferences and webinars to network with potential buyers and industry experts, and leverage LinkedIn to connect with key decision-makers. Attend: Seafood Expo North America and the International Boston Seafood Show. Check out the resources available at Seafood Source including advertising opportunities.

Sounds good. The US appetite for plaintains is growing and has over the past decade. I'm also seeing much movement in the snack market.
Does costco source out Multi-layered flexible food packaging material with or without printing ?
Great question. There are opportunities and in general suppliers are the big purchasers of flexible packaging for food products including Kirkland Signature brand.
What about deals in Canada 🇨🇦
Similar considerations! Thx for comment. Different packaging and retails.
Wow! Valuable information in this video. Thank you for this information to integrate into a 5 year strategy plan for product growth.
Powerful systems and process thinking! You are wise to consider the importance of time in this process.
Great info Tim: Do vendors usually ship pallets FOB or is it customary to pre pay shipping via their own carrier?
I prefer to build pricing into cogs. There are multiple reasons and methods to this for cpg. I'll produce a video on this terrific topic. There are situations that offering a pickup allowance will provide benefit too.
I like your videos, but this one not so much. Listening to your video I learned absolutely zero.
