Think you need $10,000 to start importing?
I placed my first real order with just $900 — including shipping — and that one shipment taught me more than anything else.
Here’s how to get started with $1,000 or less:
1. Choose a small, lightweight product — like kitchen tools or accessories
2. Order 50–200 units from Alibaba
3. Use air shipping to speed up learning and reduce delays
4. Stick to one variation — one color, one size
5. Sell your first batch through friends, Facebook Marketplace, or a simple page
You’re not just buying product — you’re buying experience.
Once you understand the process — suppliers, shipping, customs, pricing — scaling becomes easier.
Don’t wait for perfect conditions or a big budget.
Start lean, start smart, and learn by doing.
