If I had to start my import business all over again — here’s what I’d do differently.
✅ One product
✅ One supplier
✅ Deep inventory
When I started, I launched with 5 SKUs. Only one actually sold — and I didn’t even have enough of it.
That mistake cost me.
Today, I focus on what works. I build a reputation around one product done right.
I plan for delays, for price hikes, and for tariffs that don’t give you a warning.
I track trade policy like a real operator — because a 46% tariff can show up and crush your margin overnight.
This isn’t theory — it’s what I’m doing right now.
💡 Want to start importing the smart way?
👉 Start simple. Go deep. Build margin into everything.
👉 Set a Google Alert for “tariff + [your sourcing country]” — and check weekly.
