For importers & exporters
Both sides of the border, in one place.
Importing and exporting means finding supply you can trust in one country and demand in another. On Caravela you do both from one membership: post what you have, post what you need, and search by where goods come from and where they are going.
- Every company checked by a person
- Annual membership
- No commission on trades
What you can do on Caravela
What a membership lets you do.
Work in both directions
Post stock for sale and buying requests from the same account. Listings carry the country of origin, where the goods are now, the destination, the Incoterm and whether they are available for export.
- Product for sale
- Buying request
Search by origin and market
Filter listings by country of origin and by the countries they ship to. Filter the company directory by country and by kind of business.
Matches both ways, once a day
A buyer asking for something you sell, or new supply for something you asked for — Caravela sends both in one daily summary, in your notifications and by email.
Know who is on the other end
Every company was checked by a person before joining: its registration, its licences where the role requires them, and that the applicant works there. You can leave out anyone who is not verified.
Who you’ll meet
Supply abroad, demand at home.
Each company says which countries it buys from and sells into, so you can find the ones that trade on your routes.
Manufacturers & brand owners
The source of the goods, looking for companies that can take them into markets they cannot reach alone.
Distributors & wholesalers
The companies you sell to at home, and the ones you buy from abroad.
Raw-material suppliers
Ingredients and packaging inputs, for the factories you supply or source for.

Trade
Search, list, and contact the other side directly. No commission, no intermediary.

It takes a few minutes to apply. We answer every application, and if something is missing we ask for that one thing rather than sending you back to the start.
