If you are importing, distributing or retailing Australian food and consumable products, the slow part is rarely finding a name. It is finding a producer who can actually meet your volume, your certification requirements and your packaging format — and getting a straight answer on price and lead time.
Submit a Buying RequirementC&S develops overseas opportunities on behalf of Australian producers. We only progress a requirement commercially where there is a suitable producer and the producer appoints C&S for the relevant product and market. We are not a general Australian-product sourcing marketplace.
Tell us the requirement and we will establish whether it can be met, by whom, and on what terms. Where an Australian producer appoints C&S for a defined product or market opportunity, C&S is authorised to develop that opportunity — and may purchase from the producer and supply you as principal.
Current focus: export-ready, repeat-purchase FMCG including packaged food, beverages, honey, specialty oils, nuts and selected personal-care products.
We treat an enquiry as qualified once it includes: company website, business email, country, sales channel, product, estimated quantity and required timing. Enquiries without these cannot be progressed to Australian producers.
If a requirement cannot be met we will say so rather than keep you waiting.
Responsible trade
Before any introduction is made, C&S:
C&S does not guarantee regulatory approval, buyer creditworthiness or completed orders.
C&S does not manufacture the goods. Depending on how an opportunity is structured, C&S may supply you directly as principal, having purchased from the Australian producer, or may coordinate the commercial process between you and the producer. Which applies is confirmed before any offer is made.
Offers are issued on the basis of producer-approved product information and confirmed capacity, with a stated validity period. The commercial, payment and delivery arrangements for each transaction are confirmed in writing.
Where appropriate, C&S coordinates with relevant trade organisations and qualified service providers on behalf of participating suppliers.
All seven fields are required.
We will establish whether it can be met, by whom, and on what terms, and reply within three business days. If it cannot be met we will say so rather than keep you waiting.
