A Consignee Is Not Always the Retail Brand

The company named as consignee may be the buyer, importer, freight intermediary, warehouse, logistics provider, or another entity receiving or controlling the shipment.

The public record does not automatically establish beneficial ownership, importer-of-record status, downstream manufacturing, or the retail brand that ultimately used the material. It does identify the U.S. company name placed into the transport record and allows recurring supplier relationships to be measured.

Important: Consignee address and destination port are shipping-paperwork fields. They are not a map of final retail sales, consumer exposure, or the domestic route after the cargo left the port.

Three Import Networks That Dominate the Record

South Asia Trade

45 records · 1,910.955 metric tons · 6 suppliers

CV Cahaya accounted for 25 curated records and ZYAM Trading 168 for 15. The HS mix was 1211.90 on 40 records, 3101.00 on four records, and both codes on one record.

All fertilizer-coded curated records5 non-1211.90 records

International Packing Solutions

44 records · 1,448.3 metric tons · 2 suppliers

Forty-three curated records were linked to Transindo Antariksa Logistik and one to CV Cahaya. All 44 arrived through Oakland and used 1211.90.

1211.90: 44No workbook flags

Via Express Cargo

56 records · 1,434.225 metric tons · 9 suppliers

Its leading relationships were Borneo Lingga Ambawang (20 records) and PT Borindo Perkasa Indonesia (13). Forty-two records arrived through Oakland and fourteen through Tampa.

PUBLIC COMPANY RECORDS

What Publicly Available Information Adds

The workbook shows who appeared as consignee. Corporate filings, regulatory notices, and broader trade databases add context—but they do not automatically prove who owned the cargo or which retail brand ultimately used it.

Source rule: State corporate records are treated as entity-status evidence. Trade databases are treated as shipment evidence. A shared address, manager, or registered agent shows a documented corporate connection, but not necessarily common beneficial ownership, operational control, or a shared retail brand.
PROFILE 01

South Asia Trade

1,910.955 t45 curated records

What the workbook shows

  • Largest normalized consignee by documented weight.
  • Six suppliers, led by CV Cahaya and ZYAM Trading 168.
  • Forty records used 1211.90.
  • Four records used 3101.00 exclusively.
  • One additional record contained both 1211.90 and 3101.00.
  • Most records listed a Wyoming consignee address while most cargo arrived through Los Angeles.

What the public footprint shows

A readily verifiable consumer-facing website or substantial company-authored product catalog was not located during this review. The available public record is therefore dominated by shipment data rather than public product marketing.

The Wyoming address appearing in the shipping data should not be assumed to be the warehouse or final destination. A consignee address may be a corporate, administrative, registered-agent, or mailing address.

Why it matters: South Asia Trade is the only importer in the curated workbook associated with all four exclusively fertilizer-coded records and the one mixed-coded record. The public manifests do not explain why those headings were selected or whether CBP accepted, questioned, or later changed them.
PROFILE 02

International Packing Solutions

1,448.3 t44 curated records

What the workbook shows

  • Forty-four curated records, all using 1211.90.
  • All forty-four records arrived through Oakland.
  • Forty-three records were linked to Transindo Antariksa Logistik.
  • No non-consumption, external-use, dye/color, or non-1211.90 flag appeared in the curated records.

What Florida corporate records show

Florida's corporate database identifies International Packing Solutions, Inc. as a Florida profit corporation formed in 2005. The record lists a Doral address and Ricardo Herrero as an officer.

The state record shows an administrative dissolution for failure to file an annual report on September 26, 2025. That corporate status does not establish who owned or controlled cargo appearing under the name, and it does not by itself resolve why curated shipment records continue through February 2026.

Florida corporate record →

Question raised: Was the consignee field using a dissolved corporate name, was the entity later reinstated under a record not visible in this review, or was another party acting through the same trade name? Bills of lading alone cannot answer that.
PROFILE 03

Via Express Cargo and Patagonia Trading & Distribution

2,107.218 t80 combined curated records

The workbook treats these as separate consignees. Public Florida corporate records nevertheless reveal a documented corporate-address and management connection that is relevant to understanding the logistics network.

Via Express Cargo

  • 56 curated records representing 1,434.225 metric tons.
  • Nine suppliers—the broadest supplier network among the three largest consignees.
  • All curated records used 1211.90.
  • Florida records list the company as active, formed July 1, 2019.
  • Principal address: 1766 NW 82nd Avenue, Doral.
  • Manager and registered agent: Sergio Ramirez.

Official Florida record →

Patagonia Trading & Distribution

  • 24 curated records representing 672.993 metric tons.
  • Seven suppliers; all curated records used 1211.90.
  • Florida records list the company as active, formed May 15, 2020.
  • The same 1766 NW 82nd Avenue address appears.
  • The same manager and registered agent, Sergio Ramirez, appears.

Florida entity search →

What can be said: The two entities share a documented Florida address and manager. What cannot be said from these records alone: that every shipment was beneficially owned by the same party, that the two companies were interchangeable, or that either was the final retail seller.
PROFILE 04

Wholesale Kings

707.542 t28 curated records

What the workbook shows

  • Twenty-eight curated records from three suppliers.
  • All twenty-eight used 1211.90.
  • Eleven records contained dye or color-use wording.
  • Delta Gambung Nusantara accounted for eighteen curated records.
  • The consignee address was in Austin, Texas.

What a Texas regulatory notice shows

A March 2026 Texas Register enforcement notice identified Wholesale Kings LLC's Austin facility as a "kratom extract manufacturing plant" and listed a $26,796 Texas Commission on Environmental Quality penalty.

This is unusually direct public evidence linking a workbook consignee to domestic kratom processing. The notice concerns an environmental enforcement matter; it does not establish FDA compliance, product safety, customs intent, or the destination of any specific shipment.

Texas Register notice →

Documentary tension: Some shipment descriptions included dye/color language, while a state regulatory notice describes the facility as a kratom extract manufacturing plant. The records do not prove that the same cargo became extract, but the contrast warrants examination of entry documents, invoices, inventory records, and downstream manufacturing records.
PROFILE 05

Deent Import

770.75 t23 curated records

What the workbook shows

  • Twenty-three curated records from five suppliers.
  • All records used 1211.90.
  • Three records contained non-consumption wording.
  • Two records contained dye/color language.
  • Twenty records arrived through Oakland and three through Norfolk.

What public trade data shows

A public trade-data profile lists a Virginia consignee address and reproduces a sample cargo description reading, in part, "dried leaf … Mitragyna speciosa," "not for consumption," and "natural dye for arts & crafts."

That source is a commercial trade database, not a company statement or agency finding. It is useful as corroborating shipment evidence but should not replace the underlying manifest.

Public trade profile →

PROFILE 06

Tesoro Pharma

607 t15 curated records

What the workbook shows

  • Fifteen curated records from three suppliers.
  • Eleven records contained non-consumption wording.
  • Ten records were linked to Robi Darmawan Botanicals.
  • Fourteen records used 1211.90; one used 120930.
  • Thirteen records arrived through Norfolk and two through Oakland.

What public trade profiles show

Commercial trade profiles identify Tesoro Pharma as the buyer on repeated Mitragyna speciosa shipments to a Peoria, Arizona address. Public examples reproduce "not for human consumption" wording on shipments from Robi Darmawan Botanicals.

A clearly attributable consumer-facing company website or product catalog was not located during this review. The word "Pharma" in a legal name is not evidence of pharmaceutical licensing, approved-drug activity, or intended use.

Public trade profile →

Public Information Is Uneven

Some entities look like logistics companies

Names such as Via Express Cargo, Krown Logistics, and International Packing Solutions may indicate logistics or packaging functions. The name alone does not prove the entity's precise role on a particular entry.

Some records point toward processing

The clearest example found is Wholesale Kings, which a Texas regulatory notice expressly described as operating a kratom extract manufacturing plant.

Some entities have little public-facing material

For several major consignees, shipment databases provide far more information than company websites or marketing materials. Absence of a public website does not mean absence of commercial activity.

Notable Documentary Clusters

Tesoro Pharma

Fifteen curated records represented 607 metric tons. Eleven contained non-consumption wording, and one used 120930 rather than 121190. Ten records were linked to Robi Darmawan Botanicals.

Wholesale Kings

Twenty-eight curated records represented 707.542 metric tons. Eleven records contained dye or color-use language; eighteen were linked to Delta Gambung Nusantara.

Natural Dyes and Bellarex

These records form an external-use and coffee-code cluster tied to Ihsan Jaya Logistik. Public summaries can truncate or merge wording, so the underlying record should control.

Where the Paperwork Points

Leading consignee states

  • Florida: 154 curated records · 4,735.789 metric tons · 14 companies
  • Wyoming: 49 records · 2,068.259 metric tons · 3 companies
  • Texas: 42 records · 1,067.783 metric tons · 5 companies
  • California: 33 records · 816.691 metric tons · 13 companies
  • Arizona: 17 records · 663 metric tons · 2 companies

Leading destination ports

  • Oakland: 179 curated records · 5,067.305 metric tons
  • Los Angeles: 76 records · 2,686.952 metric tons
  • Norfolk: 27 records · 948.523 metric tons
  • Tampa: 25 records · 937.785 metric tons
  • Miami: 28 records · 926.575 metric tons

These fields describe consignee addresses and ports in the public shipping record. They do not establish the domestic trucking or rail route, the warehouse ultimately used, or where products were sold.

The full directory includes all 46 normalized importers. The table above shows the top 10; the complete dataset is available in the workbook.

What the Importer Ranking Does Not Prove

The ranking does not prove that the named consignee manufactured retail kratom, owned the cargo beneficially, acted as importer of record, or sold the material to consumers.

It shows which normalized U.S. entity names appeared in the curated public transport records, how much weight was associated with those records, and which supplier relationships repeated.

Questions for Lawmakers

Who was the importer of record for each shipment?
Which consignee names are logistics intermediaries rather than product manufacturers?
Were importer websites, labels, and downstream sales considered during FDA intended-use review?
Can CBP link a consignee to the warehouse where the cargo was delivered?
Why do some importer networks use multiple HS classifications for similar cargo?
What records would connect the bulk cargo to the finished consumer product?

How the Company Profiles Were Built

  1. Workbook evidence: normalized consignee names, curated record counts, shipment weight, suppliers, ports, HS-code mix, wording flags, and arrival range.
  2. Government sources: official state corporate records and public regulatory notices.
  3. Commercial trade sources: used only to corroborate addresses, supplier relationships, and sample cargo wording where an underlying public manifest was described.
  4. Company-authored material: included only when a clearly attributable public website or statement could be located.
Limit: This page does not determine importer-of-record status, beneficial ownership, customs admissibility, FDA review, or the ultimate retail disposition of any shipment. Those questions require CBP entries, commercial invoices, broker records, FDA entry data, warehouse records, and downstream distribution documents.

Questions for Lawmakers and Agencies

Which named consignees were also the importers of record?
Which entities acted only as freight, warehouse, or logistics intermediaries?
Did CBP request classification support for the 3101.00 entries?
Were shipments with non-consumption or dye language referred to FDA?
Can FDA and CBP trace bulk imports into downstream extracts, capsules, powders, or shots?
What records connect corporate entities, warehouses, manufacturers, and retail brands?

Series Conclusion

This page concludes the Following the Kratom Supply Chain series. The investigation has examined public shipping records, bills of lading, tariff classifications, intended-use questions, FDA import alerts, exporter networks, and U.S. importer profiles. The records identify patterns worth further inquiry, but they do not establish regulatory violations or final product destinations. The questions raised here are intended to guide lawmakers, regulators, and the public toward the additional records needed for a complete picture.
