I am currently helping a small coffee producer export his coffee.  The coffee is shade grown, certified organic coffee.  It comes ground & packaged.  We may explore options of labeling the coffee under a different name, and   providing the coffee in green, or roasted bean.  Our supply is very limited.  We would only be able ship one 20 foot container per month, about 40,000 Lbs.  It is a quality product.

Sorry, but coming pre-ground does not equal a quality product. Coming roasted and not pre-ground from origin does not equal a quality product either. If you want anyone serious about coffee to take your coffee seriously you'd best be importing greens.
Thanks Mike,
We can do green coffee as well. I guess we should move in that direction then.

Yeah... "quality Product' and arriving stale is probably not going to go over well with professionals in the coffee business.
Remember Babbie's Rule of Fifteens:
Green beans last fifteen months;
Roasted beans last fifteen days;
Ground beans last fifteen minutes.

While there is a bit of sway one way or another depending on beans and environment, it's fairly accurate +/- 10%-ish.
