Step 1: Choose Your Target Market and Channel
Amazon FBA, pet specialty retail, DTC stores and local wholesale all require different product, packaging and compliance decisions.
Before choosing a product, decide where you will sell and what kind of buyer you want to serve.
Step 2: Select Your First Product Category
Start with one category, not five. Slow feeder bowls, dog harnesses and pet food storage containers are practical first categories for new importers.
Smart feeders and carriers offer higher margins but require more careful compliance review and higher per-unit cost.
Step 3: Find the Right Supplier
Look for samples before bulk order, relevant certifications, OEM packaging support and low MOQ for first orders.
Ask for a catalog, product photos and certification documents before requesting price. Detailed answers are a good supplier signal.
Step 4: Request Samples
Check material quality, color accuracy, sizing, packaging and actual certification documents.
For harnesses and carriers, confirm fit and weight range before bulk buying.
Step 5: Place Your First Order
Start small with 100-200 units across 2-3 SKUs when possible. Confirm shipping method, lead time, payment terms and packaging before payment.
After sell-through confirms demand, scale with larger quantities and OEM packaging.
