Importer of record and FSVP
LatinXchange LLC is the importer of record: registered with FDA, files prior notice and keeps the Foreign Supplier Verification Program file for every plant. You buy domestic product with the compliance already done.
How we work
The import, explained in plain words
You buy a cleared container from a U.S. company. Behind that invoice there is a chain of responsibilities we hold so you do not have to.

The six things buyers ask
What we hold, what you get
Customs and broker
A licensed customs broker in Miami files the entry with CBP, pays duties and handles FDA holds and exams. Entry at Port Everglades, FL.
Inventory in Miami
Cleared product sits at a 3PL in Medley, FL, minutes from the port, for pickup or consolidation. Full containers can go straight from the port to your dock.
Full containers only
We sell 40' HC loads (≈ 20 pallets). SKUs from the same plant can be mixed; pallet or case sales are not offered.
Lead time
About three weeks from confirmed order to departure at origin, plus ocean transit to Florida and customs release. We confirm the date on each order.
Cold chain
The current portfolio is shelf-stable; Gallito chocolates need a cool room below 26 °C / 79 °F. Chilled and frozen lines will be announced only once certified for the U.S.
