Organising international sourcing, export and private label production operations for consumer goods sold through retail and distribution channels.
In consumer goods, the subject of the trade is not only the product itself. Packaging, labelling, shelf appearance and compliance with the consumer legislation of the target market are all part of the deal. The same product may require a different language, a different content declaration and a different pack size in another country, so sourcing and market adaptation are planned together.
A product-independent approach to global trade: Yurt Bereket Global is not the producer or seller of any particular consumer product. Whatever the product, we bring the right manufacturer, the right international buyer, a suitable financial model, a secure payment structure and logistics into one coordinated trade operation. Products may change, markets may change, opportunities may change; our business is international trade.

How trade in this area usually works
The process moves through product samples and packaging design. A buyer either works with the manufacturer's own brand or requests private label production. In the second case, label design, content declaration, language, barcode structure and pack dimensions are approved before the order. Minimum order quantity is a fundamental concept here, driven largely by packaging and print costs.
Documentation depends on the product group: food safety certificates, product safety and conformity declarations, content analyses and the labelling rules of the destination country. Cosmetics, food and electrical products may require registration or notification at destination; these requirements are set by the relevant official authorities and vary by country.
Container shipment is the norm. What matters is planning inner carton quantity, carton dimensions and palletisation so that container volume is used efficiently — light, bulky goods fill a container by volume long before weight. For products with a shelf life, production dates and the shipment calendar are planned together.
On payment, letters of credit are widely used for first orders and high-value transactions, while order-based structures appear in established distributor relationships. The choice always rests with the parties and their banks.
