Market Entry Pathway
A structured assessment that ranks target markets for your product category and sets out a practical channel, compliance, and pilot-shipment plan.
Pacific Market Entry Partners
Clear pathways into new export markets
We help New Zealand exporters choose where to sell next, find trustworthy distributors, and map the trade rules before the first container leaves the quay.
Built for exporters already shipping — or nearly ready
Our desk in Auckland works with food producers, specialty manufacturers, and agri-exporters who need a practical entry plan rather than a generic growth slide deck.
What you leave with
A ranked shortlist of target markets, a channel recommendation (importer, distributor, or direct retail), and a compliance checklist tied to your product category and HS codes.
Who we sit beside
Export managers, owner-operators, and boards deciding whether to fund a first sales trip, a distributor search, or a cautious pilot shipment into Australia, ASEAN, or the Pacific islands.
Consultations you can commission
Each engagement is scoped around a real market decision — not a retainer for vague advice.
