Bean Sourcing & Shipping

Hey all,

Does any one have experience with shipping Central and South American beans & sugar to the US? Especially the east coast or Florida?

Shipping, to me, is one of the most difficult elements of sourcing quality cacao. I have a connection in Belize I may source from, but I am unsure exactly how I will handle exporting large amounts of product. If you or any one you know has ever successfully shipped cacao, sugar, or coffee into the US from Belize, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Brazil, Venezuela, etc. please share your knowledge here.

Thanks!

Renee
