International FMCG Export
K.Distribution helps importers, distributors, wholesalers and retail groups source branded FMCG products across multiple categories through consolidated wholesale and international export shipments.
Instead of managing separate orders, minimums and logistics with numerous suppliers, professional buyers can build a broader assortment through one commercial inquiry.

- Multiple categories
- Mixed shipments

The procurement problem
Why International FMCG Sourcing Is Different
An importer supplying a market usually needs range — packaged food, beverages, confectionery, personal care, home care, baby care. Sourcing that range directly means a separate commercial process for each manufacturer, and the minimums rarely line up with what a single market actually sells.
Direct multi-supplier purchasing
Five brands, five processes
- A separate commercial relationship per manufacturer
- A minimum order quantity set independently by each
- A separate quotation, and separate negotiation, for each
- Different lead times that rarely align
- Different payment terms to agree and track
- Different collection points, so freight is arranged more than once
Consolidated wholesale sourcing
Many brands, one commercial process
- One commercial contact and one quotation
- Quantities set per line rather than per supplier relationship
- One assortment planned as a single load
- One shipment, one set of documents, one arrival
- Freight assessed against the finished load, not per supplier
Consolidation simplifies the commercial process. It does not replace an approval or authorisation where a manufacturer or a destination genuinely requires one.
Assortment
Build a Broader FMCG Assortment
K.Distribution enables professional buyers to combine selected products across brands and FMCG categories where availability and commercial conditions allow.
Multi-brand
Source Across Multiple Brands
Products available for wholesale inquiry across multiple brands, ordered by catalogue depth.
K.Distribution is an independent wholesaler and exporter. We are not an authorised, official or exclusive distributor of the brands we supply, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by their owners. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
Catalogue

A sample of the catalogue. Every line is available for wholesale inquiry; availability, packaging and origin are confirmed at quotation.
Consolidation
Consolidate Products Across Brands & Categories
Where commercially feasible, products from different brands and categories can be consolidated into mixed pallet or mixed container shipments — helping buyers assemble broader assortments without requiring full loads of every individual SKU.
Selected products
Food, beverages, personal care, home care
Consolidation
Planned as one load
Mixed pallet or container
20ft, 40ft or 40HC
Destination market
One shipment, one quotation
Load planning
Shipment Planning Based on Volume, Weight & Product Mix
An assortment is planned against the container format and the route before it is quoted. Three things decide what actually fits.
Volume
Carton footprint and height decide how many fit a pallet layer, and how many layers a pallet takes.
Weight
Gross cargo weight against the container limit. Dense lines reach it while space remains.
Compatibility
What can travel together, what must be planned low in the load, and what should be kept apart.
Container formats
- 20ftDense assortments that reach the weight limit early.
- 40ftThe common choice for a broad mixed assortment.
- 40ft HCLight, bulky lines where extra height becomes more cartons.
How much a container actually holds depends on the assortment, so it is planned against your list rather than quoted from a table.
Order formats
Flexible Wholesale Shipment Formats
- Mixed palletMultiple SKUs in smaller consolidated wholesale shipments.
- Full palletHigher quantities of a specific product or product group.
- Mixed containerMultiple products, categories and brands in one container where feasible.
- Full container loadLarger-volume programmes for established purchasing requirements.

Destinations
Serving Professional Buyers Across International Markets
K.Distribution handles wholesale inquiries from professional buyers across international markets, subject to product availability, destination requirements and commercial feasibility.
Selection
Build an Assortment for Your Market
What sells in one market does not automatically sell in the next, and the difference is rarely just the product. Pack size, origin, labelling and shelf life all bear on whether a line works for a given channel and destination.
You know your market better than we do. Buyers can submit their target assortment and destination for quotation review, and we will confirm what is available and how it would ship.
- Consumer demand in your channel
- Pack size and format
- Retail channel and shelf presentation
- Product origin, where it affects duty or acceptance
- Packaging language and labelling
- Remaining shelf life on arrival
- Destination import requirements
- Target price level and freight economics
Sourcing
Multi-Origin FMCG Sourcing
K.Distribution is based in France. The products themselves may originate from France, other EU countries, Vietnam, Thailand and other sourcing markets. Origin is SKU-specific and is never inferred from where we ship from.
Company location ≠ product originGoods exported from France are not thereby of French origin, and destination duty treatment usually depends on where a product was actually made.
Paperwork
Documentation for International Shipments
What a shipment needs varies by product, country of origin, destination, Incoterm and transport mode. Nothing is issued automatically on every shipment.
- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
- Transport document
- Certificate of origin where applicable
- Product-specific documents where applicable
Destination Requirements Vary by Market
Import rules, labelling requirements, product registrations, permits and customs procedures differ between destinations and may change over time. K.Distribution can provide relevant commercial and export documentation where available, while buyers remain responsible for confirming destination-specific import eligibility and regulatory requirements.
