Welcome! We help entrepreneurs and businesses in Latin America get quality products from the United States, simply, with a real person you can talk to at every step.
Tell us what you need. We handle the rest.
We will send you a clear written quote. Once you are happy with it and confirm, we take it from there until the order reaches you.

Start with a free evaluation and a small test order. We focus on small-to-medium volumes.
How it works
Before we start
To place an order with us, every customer — both entrepreneurs and businesses — must be registered or authorized to import commercially in their own country. In Colombia, this means a RUT (tax registration) that includes importing activity.
Not registered yet? You can still request a free evaluation. Tell us in your message and we will point you in the right direction. We cannot complete that registration for you.
-
1 Free evaluation
Tell us what you want to order and where it should be shipped, including any import requirements you already know about in your country. We review whether it can be sourced and shipped, share an initial view of feasibility, and outline next steps. There is no commitment at this stage.
-
2 Written quote
If the request looks feasible, we send a written quote that lists the product, shipping, estimated customs duties and import fees, and a Clearpath service fee based on the size and complexity of each order, so there are no surprises. You review it, and only then decide whether you are happy with it and want to go ahead.
-
3 We handle the rest
Once you are happy with the quote and confirm, we take care of sourcing from the U.S. maker, checking, packing, export paperwork, and shipping coordination with licensed partners until the order reaches you. You can start with a small test order to see the product and our service first.
-
4 Ongoing supply
If the test order works for you, we can help you place further orders and, if you wish, build a longer-term supply relationship. We keep you updated at each step.
We look for ways to keep shipping and import costs as low as possible. The figures for duties and import fees are estimates; final amounts are set by the destination country's customs. The Clearpath service fee is set for each order according to its size and complexity.
Shipping costs depend on the weight and size of the shipment. We focus on small-to-medium shipments, from parcels up to small pallets, and we confirm the exact limits and costs in each written quote after the free evaluation.
How your products get from the US to you
Products move from U.S. suppliers and makers to Clearpath Commerce for sourcing, a test order, and export coordination, then to a licensed courier or customs broker, and on to your business in Latin America — an importer, distributor, or retailer. Shipment can go directly to you, or through your importer or distributor.
How it could work for you
-
Example
An entrepreneur testing baseball gloves to resell
- You tell us you would like to test about USD 500 of U.S.-brand baseball gloves and batting gloves to resell — baseball is popular on Colombia's Caribbean coast — as a small test order.
- We send a free evaluation and a written quote with estimated shipping, customs duties and import fees, and our service fee. Sports gear usually needs no special health permits.
- Once you confirm, we coordinate the order and keep you updated until delivery.
- If it sells, you can reorder.
-
Example
A restaurant or bakery testing a high-quality baking soda
- You tell us you want to test a high-quality baking soda for your restaurant or bakery.
- Because it is heavy for its value and shipping costs depend on weight, we suggest starting with a small trial quantity to keep shipping costs down while you confirm the quality, then scale up.
- Food items need health permits in the destination country (in Colombia, INVIMA). We review this first and explain the extra steps; we cannot guarantee approval.
- If it looks feasible, we send a free evaluation and a written quote with estimated shipping, customs, and our service fee. Once you confirm, we coordinate the order and keep you updated until delivery.
-
Example
A construction or contracting company needing better U.S. hand tools
- You tell us your construction or contracting company wants better-quality U.S.-brand hand tools for its crews, such as levels, tape measures and other hand tools.
- In a free evaluation, we check the brand and whether the items can be shipped and can go through customs clearance, and we send a written quote with estimated shipping, customs, and our service fee.
- Once you confirm, we coordinate a small first order and keep you updated until delivery.
- As the crews need more, you can reorder.
Examples are illustrative, not past customers. To place an order, you need to be registered to import commercially in your country; see Before we start.
Start with a test order
You do not need to begin with a large purchase. After a free evaluation and a written quote, a small test order is a natural first step, especially for entrepreneurs who want to see if the product and our service are a good fit. If they are, we can work with you on ongoing supply.
Your partner from the factory to delivery
Once we place the order with the U.S. manufacturer, we stay with you through the process. We keep you updated at each step until the product is delivered.

What we can help with
We focus on products made in the United States where possible, including goods from makers in Indiana and the Midwest. The categories below are a starting point. If you have something else in mind, tell us in the free evaluation.

What we take on
- Our focus is products that can be exported legally and that make sense at small-to-medium volume. If something is not a good fit, we will tell you so clearly during the free evaluation.
- Food, ingredients, cosmetics, supplements and similar products can be part of an order too. These usually need additional permits and import steps in the destination country. We will explain the process and work through it with you. Approval is decided by the authorities in your country; we cannot guarantee the outcome.

Common questions
-
What does the written quote include?
The quote lists the product, shipping, estimated customs duties and import fees, and a Clearpath service fee based on the size and complexity of each order, so there are no surprises. We look for ways to keep those costs as low as possible. Final duties and import fees are set by the destination country's customs.
-
Is there a size or weight limit?
We focus on small-to-medium shipments, from parcels up to small pallets. Shipping costs depend on the weight and size of the shipment. We confirm the exact limits and costs in each written quote after the free evaluation.
-
Do I need to be registered to import?
Yes. Every customer, both entrepreneurs and businesses, must be registered or authorized to import commercially in their own country. In Colombia, this means a RUT (tax registration) that includes importing activity. If you are not registered yet, tell us in your evaluation request and we will point you in the right direction. We cannot complete that registration for you.
-
What do I need to do?
Tell us what you want and where it should be shipped, including any import requirements you already know about.

We will send you a clear written quote; once you are happy with it and confirm, we take it from there until delivery.
-
Can you source food, cosmetics or supplements?
Yes, we can take these on too. They usually need additional permits and import steps in the destination country. We will explain the process and work through it with you. We cannot guarantee that a permit or clearance will be approved.
-
Are you a customs broker or freight forwarder?
No. We coordinate export and shipping with licensed couriers and customs brokers.
