Turkish dried fruit, nuts and pantry products already reach the U.S., but mostly as ingredients and private-label supply. For a Turkish brand that wants its own name on American shelves and menus, the hard part is not production. It is knowing which buyers to approach, at what price, in what packaging, and getting real answers before committing a full container.
The 3-Month U.S. Market Entry Program is a controlled first step. We introduce your shelf-stable product to up to 25 selected retailers, specialty and ethnic markets, restaurants, cafés, wholesalers and foodservice buyers in Southern California, follow up, place the product and report every month: who responded, how buyers reacted to your price and packaging, which SKUs moved and whether anyone reordered. Dried apricots and hazelnuts may suit retail and snacking, tahini and pekmez specialty stores and restaurants; the buyer group is agreed with you before outreach starts.
Before the first shipment, our product review covers U.S. compliance and label review, including FDA-related readiness. Dried fruit and nuts can be sampled by FDA at import, so good documentation from origin matters, and labels usually need an English U.S. version, which we can apply in California. Freight from Mersin, Istanbul (Ambarlı), İzmir or Gemlik reaches Los Angeles and Long Beach, clears through your own licensed customs broker or one arranged through Abanro, and comes to us for receiving and storage. Turkish textile and home brands use the same facility for Amazon FBA prep and ecommerce fulfillment. Our guide to selling food products in the U.S. explains each step, and this site is available in Turkish.
Turkey is 10 hours ahead of California in summer and 11 in winter, so a 10 AM call in Istanbul is around midnight in California. Our team is available 24/7 and we respond within 6 hours.

Prices are starting points for standard-size items. Your final price depends on volume, dimensions, handling, packaging, storage time, destination and any special requirements.
Yes. You don't need a U.S. office or sales team to start. For initial shipments, the brand or its designated U.S. importer normally remains the Importer of Record, customs entries are filed by a licensed customs broker, and Abanro coordinates the process and handles storage, prep and delivery in California.
Usually FDA registration of the producing facility (with a U.S. Agent), Prior Notice for each shipment, an FSVP importer in the U.S., and a U.S.-compliant English label. Dried fruit and nuts can also be sampled by FDA at import, so lab results and documentation from origin help. Our product review includes U.S. compliance and label review, including FDA-related readiness.
Shelf-stable food that does not need refrigeration or frozen storage: dried apricots and figs, hazelnuts and pistachios, tahini, pekmez, Turkish delight, Turkish coffee, spices, olive oil and similar pantry products. Refrigerated, frozen and fresh products are not part of the program.
We don't sell distribution contracts. The program introduces your product directly to up to 25 selected retailers, restaurants, wholesalers and foodservice buyers in Southern California and reports what happens. That evidence makes a later conversation with a U.S. distributor or importer stronger.
Yes, through Prep & Fulfillment. Towels, textiles and home goods can be received, labeled, stored and shipped to Amazon FBA or your own U.S. customers on a pay-as-you-go basis. Buyer outreach through the program is for shelf-stable food.
