Our Company

Unlike importers dealing with numerous brands, Palmateer Consulting focuses on a select group of non-competing brands. This approach enables us to deliver the exceptional service our clients anticipate.
Palmateer Consulting operates on a retainer basis and requires reimbursement for pre-approved expenses.

Palmateer Consulting will meticulously model the costs involved from shipping point to consumer, including all associated expenses, and will also calculate the return on investment for our clients.
