THE CHALLENGE

Getting into the US market is hard — on both sides of the deal.

FOR EXPORTERS & PRODUCERS

Most exporters can't reach serious buyers in the US.

Cold outreach goes nowhere. Trade show contacts disappear. US buyer expectations, import requirements, and distribution channels are hard to read from the outside — and trading companies take a cut without bringing a real, qualified buyer to the table.

FOR US BUYERS & IMPORTERS

Most US buyers can't find reliable commodity suppliers abroad.

They struggle to verify quality and volume capacity, navigate language and cultural gaps, and avoid getting burned by unreliable middlemen. Months turn into years. Containers never leave the port.

OUR SOLUTION

US Market Entry, Not a One-Way Directory

We focus on one market: the United States. For exporters, we identify qualified US importers, distributors, and buyers already sourcing your category. For US buyers, we identify vetted producers already operating at your required volume. Either way, we make the introduction and stay involved through negotiation and your first shipment.

WHY PACIFIC GATEWAY VENTURES

Your American partner
for the US market.

Led by Ion Peoples, US Market Entry Specialist. We pair a working knowledge of what US buyers require — specs, documentation, volume, and payment terms — with on-the-ground presence in Asia. That perspective removes friction most brokers never see.

Built for the US Market
We know what US buyers expect on volume, consistency, and paperwork — and which producers can actually deliver it.
Real Relationships
Warm introductions to US buyers and producers we've vetted directly — not a directory of cold contacts.
No Inventory Risk
We never take title to goods or hold inventory. You contract directly with the other side — we make sure it's the right one.
REAL RESULTS

Buyers & suppliers we've helped connect

"Pacific Gateway introduced us to two bamboo pole producers in Vietnam. We signed with one within 5 weeks and received our first container within two months. Best decision we made for our supply chain."

— Procurement Director
Sustainable Building Materials Importer, USA

"They understood our quality specs down to moisture content and grading. We closed our first cashew kernel supply agreement in under a month, with pricing that held up through the whole first shipment."

— Sourcing Manager
Specialty Food Importer, Netherlands

"Clear process, transparent fees, and real introductions — not just a spreadsheet of exporters. We now have a reliable green coffee supply line out of the Central Highlands."

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Do you take ownership of the goods?
No. We are a facilitator, not a trading company. We never hold inventory or take title to your materials — buyers and exporters contract and pay each other directly. We're paid for our services, never through a markup on the goods.
Do you handle customs clearance and import compliance?
No. We provide high-level guidance and connect you with trusted customs brokers, freight forwarders, and (for food-grade materials) FDA/USDA compliance specialists. Our focus is US buyer and supplier identification and deal facilitation.
How long does it usually take to land a US buyer or a reliable supplier?
Most clients receive their first serious introductions within 10–18 days and sign agreements within 4–8 weeks, depending on how quickly they move through samples, meetings, and negotiations.
Which commodities do you work with?
Agricultural and raw commodities headed for the US market — for example green coffee, cashew kernels, natural rubber, bamboo (poles, stalks, panels), and tobacco leaf. If there's US demand for your product and you can meet US import requirements, we'll talk.
What if I already have some US buyer or supplier contacts?
We can still add value by expanding your options, running structured outreach, and supporting negotiations with better terms. Many clients use us alongside their existing efforts.
How is pricing structured?
Every engagement is scoped to your deal: your commodity, volumes, and US goals. We walk through pricing on your discovery call and confirm it in writing before any work begins. We're paid for our services, never through a markup on the goods.
How do you vet US buyers before introducing them to exporters?
We assess buyers on purchase volume, category fit, and payment reliability before making an introduction. Our goal is to bring exporters US buyers who are ready to place real orders, not window-shop.
