Fair Trade Reporting

TransFair USA's Certification Department audits the global supply chain from the farmer, to the importer, to the product manufacturer, and then to the retailer and consumer.

Our industry partners submit itemized quarterly reports detailing each of their Fair Trade transactions. We use the data contained in these reports to track Fair Trade products through the chain of custody.

After analyzing companies' transaction reports, and tracking certified products through the supply chain, we then address and reconcile discrepancies. In the marketplace, we make a tremendous effort to ensure proper use of the Fair Trade Certified label. We reserve, and occasionally exercise, the right to terminate our business relationship with any company that fails to comply with our strict requirements.

As the only independent certifier of Fair Trade products in the United States, TransFair USA authorizes companies that sell specialty coffee, tea, sugar, rice, ingredients, flowers and fresh fruit to display the Fair Trade Certified label on their products.
