Cleaning products are labelled and regulated differently in every jurisdiction. This page sets out who we supply, how we ship, and the questions that decide whether a product can enter your market at all.
Who we supply
What you need from a supplier depends on where you sit in the chain. We quote accordingly.
You are building or extending a household cleaning range and need landed cost you can price a channel against.
You need shelf-ready bottles, a credible own-brand option and margin that survives promotion.
You consume rather than resell, and predictable cost per site per month is the metric.
You own the brand and the customers but not a factory, and you need a maker who will hold your specification.
Where we ship
A guide, not a rulebook. Requirements change, and the final word always belongs to the regulator and customs authority in the destination country.
| Region | Usual points to settle | Common trade terms |
|---|---|---|
| North America | Device classification and listing route; bilingual labelling for Canada | FOB, DDP |
| Europe & UK | CE or UKCA route for devices; biocidal registration for disinfectants; language per member state | FOB, CIF, DDP |
| Middle East & GCC | Importer licensing, Arabic labelling, certificate attestation | CIF, DDP |
| Africa | Pre-shipment inspection schemes, local agent requirements, product registration | CIF, FOB |
| South & Southeast Asia | Device registration lead times, import permits, local language labelling | FOB, CIF |
| Latin America | Health registry submissions, Spanish or Portuguese labelling, legalised documents | CIF, FOB |

Freight & terms
The default for consumables and equipment. Full container loads are the most economical; part loads are consolidated where volumes are lower.
Used for samples, urgent replenishment and high-value device lines. Quoted per shipment on chargeable weight.
Samples, artwork proofs and documentation. Usually at our cost for approved enquiries.
| Term | We arrange | You arrange |
|---|---|---|
| EXW Ex works | Goods packed and available for collection | All transport, export clearance, insurance, duties |
| FOB Free on board | Inland transport, export clearance, loading at port of origin | Sea freight, insurance, import clearance, duties, delivery |
| CIF Cost, insurance & freight | Everything to the destination port, including freight and marine insurance | Import clearance, duties, delivery from port |
| DDP Delivered duty paid | Everything to your nominated address, duties included | Unloading, and anything a local licence restricts to the importer |
Market entry
The most expensive mistake in this trade is shipping goods that cannot be released. Before anything is produced we work through the questions that decide admissibility for your market.
Some registrations can only be held by a locally established entity, and some product classes are not worth the registration cost at your volume. We would rather say so at enquiry stage than take an order that stalls at the border.
