International Distribution of Exotic Nutrition Products

Exotic Nutrition offers wholesale purchasing with rights to reselling to brick and mortar pet stores and other eligible businesses who wish to distribute Exotic Nutrition products internationally, outside of the U.S.

  • Exotic Nutrition does not offer exclusive distribution rights.
  • Altering the packaging of Exotic Nutrition products is prohibited. If a customer chooses to repackage an Exotic Nutrition product, they are not allowed to use the Exotic Nutrition name, logo, or other company information on the repackaged product or advertisements for that product.
  • Accounts are eligible for review at any time and may be suspended or canceled at our discretion.

To view wholesale pricing, please create an account and submit a wholesale application on our website. Regular wholesale orders ($250 order minimum) will ship via the Postal Service or FedEx international shipping service. If the customer would like to make their own shipping arrangements, please leave special instructions at checkout for this request. We can remove and refund the shipping costs applied at checkout before shipping, minus a $10 handling fee. 

Exotic Nutrition is not responsible for any additional customs fees, duties, or taxes. Most countries will charge duties and taxes upon entry into your country, which are due on receipt by the recipient (customer). To determine these charges ahead of time, please contact your local Customs Department within your country. If the customer would like Exotic Nutrition to lower the product value on the customs declaration please leave special instructions at checkout for this request. Keep in mind if the package is lost or damaged in transit the insurance would only cover up to the customs value.

Exotic Nutrition is not responsible for packages that are refused by customs or otherwise undeliverable. International shipments are nonreturnable and nonrefundable. Many of our prepared pet foods include ingredients which require an export certification for import. For FedEx or freight shipments, we strongly recommend contacting your local customs department and finding a shipping broker that can assist with importing the pet food before placing your order. If you'd like us to include export paperwork with your shipment then you must submit your request for these export papers to us at the time the order is placed. The customer is responsible for all export paperwork charges (for example: $75 USD for Health Certificate for animal products).
