New to the Importing FBA Business
I'm looking to start importing goods from abroad and selling them through Amazon with FBA. Obviously, it sounds easy to say but I'm kind of lost and I'd love some beginner advice. I'm also capable of investing large capital (up to tens of thousands) in goods right off the bat.
I've been reading through these forums for the past couple of days so I think I've got a bit of a drift of things but would love any resources to fill the gaps and if you could help answer some specific questions.
A little bit about me:
I'm actually not at all new to the export import world as I've been trading large printing presses for about 20 years. So the learning curve for me will be a little lower in terms of understanding international trade as I've already got resources for freight and trucking all over the world and have been doing it for a long time. Now here's my inquiry to you guys:
I'm currently in the US but I'm from India. A large part of my exporting goes to India and I'd love to import some products from there too. A large benefit is that I've got a VAST reach of contacts and associates that could help me along the way and getting products straight from manufacturers wouldn't be too difficult. It'll also be a breeze for me to obtain any licenses I might need as well as have people do quality checks on products. So much of the advice on here is about importing goods from China but I have a sort of home court advantage in India I'd like to advantage of, primarily as it allows me to largely reduce risk.
So I do have an inherent advantage in importing from India but the problem is... I have no idea what the hell to import. I've been trading in paper and large printing presses my whole life and never really traded in the retail world. So I'd love some help on understanding what it is I need to import and what I'm supposed to look for. And I'm definitely capable of importing from China as well but I need some beginner guidance.
Tl: DR: I got a lot of money I'm ready to invest in but I just need help understanding the process of selecting and selling goods through Amazon FBA. I'm also curious if anyone has read ImportExports book and will vouch for the knowledge contained in it.
