Merchant Exporters

You can be a True Source Certified Merchant Exporter if you are a company that purchases honey from a Processor/Exporter and is responsible for 1) ensuring the imported goods comply with local laws and regulations, 2) completing the necessary export documentation, 3) selling or transferring the honey to Importers or Packers/Brand Purchasers, and 4) never taking physical possession of goods.

Merchant Exporters must clearly identify loads purchased from True Source Certified Exporters and maintain all requirements of the True Source Certified program. Merchant Exporters are responsible for any applicable element in the Standards.

To participate, complete the Merchant Exporter registration form and submit the registration fee. True Source Honey charges an annual fee based on the number of containers/truckloads exported to the United States per year. The current fees are below:
