Buying notes

Pack season
Italian tomatoes are packed August to September. New-pack tins are in Vancouver from late October. Buyers who want one pack year across the season reserve in July.
Container quantities
A 20-foot container carries about 10 pallets, roughly 900 cases of 2.5 kg tins. Tomatoes are heavy; weight, not volume, sets the limit. Mixed containers with olive oil and spices and salt are the usual order.
Foodservice formats
Kitchens take 2.5 kg and 4.5 kg tins, 5 kg olive pails and 1 kg caper jars. See the supply terms for restaurants and foodservice.
Retail formats
Grocers take 400 g tins and 700 g passata with bilingual labels for the Canadian shelf. See grocery retail and distribution.
Lanes
Tinned goods move by rail intermodal to Toronto and Montreal and by truck to Calgary and Seattle. Lane detail on import to Canada and import to the US.
