BeyondChipz – Low Carb & High Plant-Based Protein Snacks!

BeyondChipz is a family owned and operated company in Michigan, USA with a mission to improve the health of consumers all over the world. Their healthy snacks are the result of years of research, development and partnerships with suppliers who share the philosophy that food that’s good for you can taste great. With more and more people finding that their health is impacted by what they eat, whether it’s allergies, diabetes or coeliac disease, these snacks are in high demand by people who need a tasty snack that won’t make them sick.

Following the huge success of BeyondChipz tortilla chips and BeyondTwistz pretzels in the USA, the next obvious market for these low-carb products was the UK. The company had no previous experience of exporting so they needed help every step of the way to ensure they were working in accordance with UK food regulations, complying with customs requirements and streamlining their costs wherever possible.

The International Trade Consultancy was able to manage the whole process for them via the Export Readiness Evaluation service. A comprehensive report was delivered to ensure smooth exports to the UK including;

• Checking all ingredients are permitted in the UK
• Researching applicable food regulations
• Amending labelling to conform to UK requirements
• HS codes
• Import duty
• Import VAT
• Logistics and customs assistance
