Sourcing + Launch
Launch a US Amazon brand with verified suppliers in 90 days.
A packaged service for US and EU brands: product research, supplier vetting, first-order management, FBA setup, listing launch. Project-scoped. No mystery suppliers, no 'we'll let you know about MOQs later'.
The five-step path from product to first sale.
Research
Category data (Helium 10, JungleScout, Brand Analytics) + your goals. Output: 3–5 product opportunities with sales velocity, competition, and margin estimates.
Supplier vetting
We identify, score and shortlist suppliers across Asia. Every one audited for capacity, certifications, IP risk, export history, and operational fluency.
First order
Sample run, quality inspection, packaging, MOQ negotiation, INCOterms, payment milestones. We work in your name; you stay buyer of record.
FBA + IP setup
US LLC (if needed), EIN, trademark, IP Accelerator referral, FNSKU labelling, FBA shipment plan, customs and duties.
Brand launch
Listing optimisation, A+ Content, brand store, PPC launch budget, review-acquisition flows. First 60 days of operation included.
Who this works for.
Good fit
- · You have $50K–$500K to deploy on inventory + launch
- · You're a US/UK/EU business able to import and sell on Amazon US
- · You have a category in mind (or want help narrowing 3–5 to one)
- · You can be buyer of record and stay involved at supplier sign-offs
Not a fit
- · You want white-label dropshipping (we don't run drop-ship)
- · You expect us to buy the inventory (the financial commitment stays with you)
- · You need to launch in under 60 days (the 90-day timeline is real)
Why brands work with us on sourcing.
- Our operators have launched 40+ Amazon brands agency-side. We know the categories, suppliers, customs flow, and FBA quirks.
- Network density in South Asia. Operating relationships with vetted manufacturers — faster sourcing, better terms.
- No supplier kickbacks. Our fee is the fee; recommendations are based on fit, not commission.
- Post-launch integration. Once you ship, we operate the listing and ads under our Amazon Marketplace SKU.

From South Asian Factory to US Amazon: The Manufacturer's Bridge Guide
The single guide for South Asian manufacturers selling brand-owned on US Amazon: what changes by country, how the money comes home, who pays US duties now that de minimis is suspended, and the compliance and brand work in between.

FAQ
Questions we get a lot.
Still unsure? Ask an operator, not an SDR.
Book a 20-minute callCan you source outside South Asia?
Yes. We have stronger network density in South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka) but routinely source from Vietnam, China, Indonesia, and Turkey too.
Will you negotiate MOQs for us?
Yes — that happens in the first-order step. Smaller brands typically get a first-order MOQ of 200–500 units; experienced importers can negotiate lower.
Do you handle inspections?
Yes — third-party inspection at production midpoint and pre-shipment, via AsiaInspection, QIMA, or local equivalents.
What about IP protection?
We file your US trademark before the first order ships, with IP Accelerator referral during setup, and coach you on Brand Registry, Project Zero, and Transparency eligibility.
What if the first product doesn't sell?
We run a velocity check at day 30 post-launch. Below the breakeven projection, we either iterate on the listing (covered) or recommend a pivot. Most engagements hit breakeven by day 60.
Private label or dropshipping?
Private label, yes. Dropshipping, no — we believe in real inventory and real brands.
