Who We Are
About Arete Distribution
Arete Distribution, LLC is a Harrisburg, Pennsylvania-based importer and wholesale distributor serving US commercial buyers. We operate on a direct factory sourcing model — bypassing layers of intermediaries to deliver cost-competitive product without sacrificing quality control.
Our principals have built and maintained vetted relationships with manufacturers across Southeast Asia, with a particular focus on origin jurisdictions that offer structural duty advantages under current US trade policy. Every supplier is qualified for production standards, ethical labor practices, and export documentation discipline.
On the US side, we manage the complexity that stops most buyers from sourcing direct: HTS classification, ISF filing, CBP entry, bond management, and post-entry compliance. We work with established US wholesale buyers who value precision over promises.
Arete operates quietly. Our clients value the discretion and the documentation. Inquiries are handled directly by the principals.
