FSSC 22000
Food safety management system certified under the Global Food Safety Initiative scheme. The certification every major grocery chain, foodservice distributor, and private label buyer asks for first.
Compliance & Certifications
Coffee for Wholesale that meets US compliance from day one
The reason most importing falls apart isn't the coffee — it's the paperwork. We ship FSSC 22000 + FSMA documentation, FDA-compliant labeling, and organic / Fair Trade certificates with every container. Your QA team gets the packet in their inbox, not a follow-up email three weeks later.

FAQ — Compliance
Does coffee require an FDA prior notice for US import?
Yes. Every shipment requires FDA prior notice. We file it (or coordinate with your customs broker) before the container leaves.
Are you FSVP-ready?
Yes. Our documentation supports your importer of record's FSVP obligations. We've passed FSVP-related buyer audits.
Can my organic SKU lose its certification in transit?
Not if it ships with the organic transaction certificate and the chain of custody documentation we provide. We've never had a buyer denied organic recognition due to our paperwork.
What happens if a buyer requests a certification you don't currently hold?
Depends on the certification. Most additions take 2-12 weeks. We'll quote the timeline and the cost honestly before committing.
Need to see the compliance pack before you commit?
Email us and we'll send a sample documentation packet from a recent shipment — redacted of client names, complete on everything else.
