Wholesale resources

Open a wholesale account.

An account gives you volume-tiered pricing, a named contact and consolidated ordering. Approval is a short, documented process — this page sets out exactly what it involves before you start.

Eligibility

Who we open accounts for.

We would rather tell you at the outset that an account is not right for you than take you through a documentation process that ends in a decline.

  • A registered business

    Accounts are opened for registered trading entities — distributors, retailers, e-commerce sellers, wholesalers and manufacturers. We do not open accounts for personal or individual purchases.

  • Evidence of trading

    A physical store, a live e-commerce storefront, or an established distribution operation. What we ask for depends on which of those describes you — the detail is set out below.

  • A defined buying requirement

    You should be able to describe a product category and an indicative volume. It does not need to be final, but an account without a requirement behind it cannot be assessed.

  • A lawful destination market

    We confirm that the goods, the destination and the end use are permissible under United States export controls and applicable sanctions before an account is approved.

How approval works

Four stages, and you are told where you stand at each one.

  1. 01

    Complete the application

    One form on this page. It takes a few minutes, and there is nothing to print, scan or sign at this stage.

  2. 02

    Eligibility review

    We confirm the entity, the destination market and the category are ones we can serve — and tell you promptly if they are not.

  3. 03

    Supporting records

    We email you the short list of records we need, and confirm in writing once each has been received and accepted.

  4. 04

    Approval and terms

    On approval you receive your account confirmation, the applicable purchase terms, agreed payment terms and a named contact who owns your programme.

What you will need

Nothing is asked for until you qualify.

You do not send any of this with the application. Once the eligibility review clears, we email you the short list below — the core records, plus the evidence of trading that fits how your business sells.

Records we will request

  • A copy of your business licence or certificate of incorporation
  • A signed Uniform Sales & Use Tax Certificate, where you are buying for resale within the United States
  • Named ownership details for the officers or partners authorised to bind the business
  • Evidence of trading appropriate to how you sell — set out alongside
  • Bank or trade references, only where you have asked for credit terms
  • An import licence or category permit, where your destination market requires one

Evidence of trading

Physical retail
Photographs of the interior and exterior of your store, so we can confirm an operating retail presence at the trading address given.
E-commerce and marketplace sellers
A live, fully functioning storefront with a working cart and an established product base — plus direct links to every website or marketplace storefront you sell through.
Distributors and manufacturers
A description of your distribution footprint and customer base, and the categories you currently carry, so we can size the account correctly from the start.

Nothing to print: the application below is the whole process. We ask for the records above only once your application clears the eligibility review, and a scanned or electronic copy is as enforceable as an original. If anything is missing we tell you promptly rather than leaving the application open. Questions first? Email admin@dunegatewayexportllc.com.

What an account gives you

The account is the mechanism. This is what it is for.

  • Volume-tiered pricing

    Quotations set price breaks against quantity bands, so you can see what the next tier is worth before committing to it.

  • A named account contact

    One person owns your programme. Escalation never means starting the explanation again with somebody new.

  • Consolidated ordering

    Multiple suppliers can be consolidated into a single shipment, sized to container capacity rather than to a round number.

  • Pre-dispatch verification

    Quantity, labelling and packing are verified at origin, and discrepancies are reported to you before the goods move.

Purchase terms: approved accounts trade under our Purchase Order Terms & Conditions. Payment terms are set on approval and stated on every order confirmation. Where credit terms are requested, we will tell you what references are needed before you gather them.

Account application

Open your account. It takes a few minutes.

Six short sections, no attachments and nothing to sign. We respond within one business day — including when the answer is that an account is not the right fit.

Before you start

  • Your legal business name, exactly as registered
  • Your federal EIN, or local tax or VAT number
  • Billing and delivery addresses
  • A rough sense of what you intend to buy

Everything else on the form is optional or can be estimated. An incomplete picture is still worth submitting.

This application has six sections. All fields marked required must be completed. Errors are announced beneath each field.

Your business

Exactly as it appears on your registration documents.

Leave blank if you trade under the legal name.

Outside the US, give your local tax or VAT number.

Who we should speak to

Include your country code so we can call within your hours.

Addresses and delivery

Include any special delivery instructions.

Residential addresses ship ground only.

Tell us in the notes if a lift gate is required.

Your trading profile

Characters used: 0 / 1200

Leave blank if you do not sell online.

Domestic only? Leave this blank.

A rough range is fine. It helps us set the right tier.

Terms and tax status

Requesting terms, not confirming them — these are set on approval.

We send the certificate to sign once your application is reviewed.

Declarations

Nothing to print or sign yet. We request supporting records only once your application clears the eligibility review.

Account application

Send us your details and we will tell you within a day whether an account fits.

A short message is enough to start — who is buying, what you intend to buy, and roughly how much of it. We will come back with the specific records we need from you.

Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM Eastern Time. Response within one business day.
