UK Market Entry
Importer · Distributor · Sales & Marketing Partner
One partner. Every channel. Brand Organic is a UK-licensed importer and specialist distributor for natural, organic and wellness brands. We collect from your factory or warehouse on EXW terms, take title to your goods, manage all UK importation and compliance, and build your brand across every relevant channel — from independent health food retailers to Whole Foods Market, Amazon and beyond. We are not a broker. We are your UK business.
What we bring
Importer of record
We collect EXW and manage all UK customs, VAT, and regulatory compliance. You hand over at the factory gate — we handle everything from there.
Specialist distributor
Established relationships across a national network of natural product distributors and direct-to-retailer routes. 2,000+ independent and specialty buying doors within reach from day one.
Sales & marketing agency

What we need from you
A workable net price (EXW)
We collect from your factory or warehouse and build channel margin from your EXW price. Headroom at the net is essential for a sustainable UK channel for both parties.
Full UK exclusivity
Across all channels including Amazon and D2C. This protects your brand, controls pricing across all routes to market, and prevents channel conflict that can undermine retailer relationships.
Shelf life on collection
Minimum 10 months (ideally 12–18) remaining on all stock at point of collection. This is a firm requirement of our retail partners and wholesale network across all tiers.
