This page sets out what ACMFOOD actually supplies to U.S. importers and distributors: the product formats we run, the pack sizes and case configurations, minimum order quantities, lead times, and the commercial terms a first order is built on. It is a supply catalogue and terms sheet, not a sourcing tutorial.

If you are still at the stage of selecting a partner, the companion guide covers that end to end: how U.S. buyers choose an overseas beverage manufacturer — briefing, shortlisting, due diligence and factory audit. Come back here once you know what you want to buy.

What we supply

Production is canned and ambient-stable, filled in Vietnam and exported directly. Ambient distribution is the defining constraint of the range: it removes cold chain from your cost structure and opens convenience, food service and e-commerce channels that chilled products cannot reach.

Pack formats and case configuration

Format drives your landed cost more than unit price does, because it decides how many sellable units travel inside one freight cost. The practical points for a U.S. programme:

Slim and standard aluminium cans are the core of the range. They ship without refrigeration, stack efficiently, are fully light- and oxygen-tight, and give a 360° branding surface.
PET and glass are available for specific positioning, with different minimums and different damage profiles in transit.
Fill volumes run from single-serve through family and food-service sizes. Single-serve puts more sellable units in the same container; larger fills suit in-home and food service.
Case count, pallet pattern and units per container are confirmed in writing per SKU before loading. Use those figures — not estimates — in your landed cost model.

Beverages are dense cargo, so a 20-foot container typically reaches its weight limit before its volume limit. That is why canned drinks generally ship in 20-foot rather than 40-foot equipment.

Minimum order quantity

MOQ is set per SKU, because each SKU needs its own production run and its own packaging materials. Three things move it:

Stock formulation vs custom. An existing recipe with your label carries the lowest minimum. A developed formulation carries a higher one.
Packaging. Standard can sizes are more flexible than formats requiring dedicated tooling or print plates.
Number of SKUs on the order. Minimums apply per SKU, but freight and documentation are shared across the container — which is why launching a small range often costs less per unit than launching one product.

Shipment is supported on both FCL and LCL terms. A first order intended to validate the market does not have to be a full container.

Lead times

Plan the whole chain, not just production. From confirmed order to ex-factory covers artwork approval, packaging material procurement, production scheduling, the run itself, and pre-shipment inspection. Ocean transit to U.S. ports and customs clearance sit on top of that.

Two scheduling factors are specific to sourcing from Vietnam. Custom formulation adds development and, where a claim requires it, stability study time that cannot be compressed. And the Lunar New Year period slows factories, transport and customs for a stretch each year — orders that must land in the first quarter should be placed with that shutdown already built into the schedule.

Commercial terms

Incoterms. FOB and CIF are both standard. FOB gives you control of the ocean leg and visibility of freight cost; CIF is simpler if you would rather we arrange it.
Payment. A deposit against the purchase order with the balance due against shipping documents is the normal structure.
Specification as contract annex. Brix, pH, fill weight, sensory description, shelf life and packaging are named with tolerances, and cannot be changed without your written approval.
Inspection rights. Third-party pre-shipment inspection is welcomed. Experienced importers exercise it on the first several shipments.
Production date policy. Minimum residual shelf life on arrival is agreed before loading, so stock does not fail your retailer’s date threshold.

Documentation supplied with every U.S. shipment

Export documentation is prepared in parallel with production rather than after it, so paperwork does not hold the container at the port.

Commercial invoice and packing list, matched exactly to the bill of lading
Bill of lading, original or telex release as agreed with payment terms
Certificate of origin
Certificate of Analysis from a third-party laboratory for the shipped lot
Health certificate where the destination requires it
Copies of food safety certifications held by the facility

U.S.-specific compliance — facility registration, prior notice of arriving shipments, importer responsibilities and label conformity — is covered separately in U.S. beverage regulations, beverage certifications and FDA compliance, and the U.S. food label checklist for imported beverages.

Private label, OEM or stock supply

Three levels of engagement are available from the same facility, which matters because it lets a programme grow without changing manufacturer:

Stock SKU with your label — fastest to market, lowest minimum, no development cost, no exclusivity.
Adapted SKU — an existing base modified toward your brief. Moderate development time.
Full custom development — a formulation built to your specification, with samples, stability work and an exclusivity arrangement tied to volume.

The distinctions and how to choose between them are set out in private label vs white label vs OEM for U.S. brands.

What to send us to get a quotation

A quotation needs less than most buyers expect, but it needs these specifics. Vague enquiries produce vague prices.

Product and format — which drink, which pack, which fill volume.
Estimated annual volume and the size of the first order.
Destination port and preferred Incoterm.
Whether you want a stock SKU, an adapted one, or full development.
Any certification your channel requires.
Target launch date, so scheduling can be checked against it honestly.

What comes back: price at your stated volume, MOQ per SKU, units per container for your chosen format, lead time, and payment terms. Those five figures are enough to complete a landed cost model — and completing it before you commit is the single most useful thing you can do at this stage.

Samples

Samples are available before any commercial commitment. Ask for units from more than one production date rather than several cans off the same pallet: a single sample proves the product can be made once, while your business depends on it being made consistently. Taste them against whatever is already on your target shelf, and hold a few at ambient temperature to re-taste later in shelf life.

Manufacturing for U.S. brands

If you are sourcing for the U.S. market, three pages cover what buyers ask first. OEM beverage manufacturing sets out how contract production works; certifications and food safety systems covers the documents customs and retailers will ask you to produce; export and logistics covers shipping terms and the document pack.
