How We Work

Sourcing, Importing & Distribution — Handled End to End

From supplier relationships to your loading dock, we manage the full journey of every product we carry.

At a Glance

What does Premium Choice Inc. do as an importer and distributor? Premium Choice Inc. manages the full journey of the products it carries, from manufacturer relationships and importing through to wholesale distribution, connecting international sourcing with U.S. and Canadian buyers.

What’s the difference between importing and distribution? Importing covers bringing products into the country — sourcing, shipping and customs — while distribution covers getting those products to buyers afterward. Premium Choice handles both under one relationship, so buyers work with a single partner instead of coordinating an importer and a separate distributor.

Does Premium Choice import directly from manufacturers? Yes — we build and maintain direct relationships with manufacturers and producers rather than sourcing through intermediary importers, which keeps the supply chain shorter between origin and buyer.

Our Process

A Trusted Path From Origin Market to Your Shelves

We build and maintain relationships with manufacturers and producers around the world, vetting each for authenticity, quality and reliability before managing the full import process end to end — keeping timelines predictable and supply consistent. That process connects directly to our wholesale and supplier pathways, supporting buyers nationally, including in the Chicago and Midwest region, and sourcing that includes Malaysian and Asian grocery products.

From Origin Market to U.S. Distribution

Getting a product from an overseas manufacturer onto a U.S. or Canadian buyer’s shelf involves several distinct stages — sourcing and vetting the manufacturer, arranging shipping and import compliance, warehousing on arrival, and then distributing to wholesale, retail and foodservice buyers. Premium Choice manages that full chain directly rather than handing a product off between separate specialists at each stage, which is what lets us keep timelines predictable for the buyers on the receiving end.

One Partner for Sourcing and Delivery

Buyers working with Premium Choice deal with one relationship covering the entire supply chain — not a separate importer, a separate distributor, and separate delivery logistics to coordinate. That matters most for buyers carrying products that are hard to source domestically, since a single accountable partner reduces the points where a shipment can be delayed or a product substituted for something less authentic.
