Fruit Importers
Core requirements for
licensed Fair Trade fruit importers:

a licensed importer.

Organizations (FLO). For seasonal availability of products by origin,

paid on top of the Fair Trade minimum price. Please ask us for a price
list.

on all Fair Trade Certified fruit purchases.

Trade products with TransFair USA.
