4 Questions on exporting from India to Japan

[AT112233]

Hi all,


We are looking for your thoughts on goods that can be exported from India to Japan. My wife and I are US citizens living in US, I was born in India, wife in Japan. We want to best use this combo for doing business!



QUESTION 1
Given our lifestyle, we want to sell: spices/herbs/vegan/natural beauty style products on Amazon JP (and then rakuten) and our e-com store (soon to be set up). Sourced from India. We know these products well (Indian alternative medicine has caught on in the US). Haven't sold anything ever in this field.

Before we dive fully into spices/natural health products, would you suggest better products (perhaps textiles, or handicrafts) that we should concentrate on?



QUESTION 2
Is there anything about: "spices/natural health products" "imported into Japan" or "spices/herbs exported from India" that we need to be careful about? Thankfully, we're well acquainted with Indian biz culture and can converse in local languages.



QUESTION 3:
What is the immediate step we should take now?

We have read up on FBA and are ready to look for suppliers.
Per my wife, Japan is not so hot on Facebook marketing (I have some experience running FB ads for my mini-Shopify store that sells pet stuff) so don't know how to do paid advertising. It seems blogs/affiliates are big there.
We have already obtained tons of material SEO (blog & Youtube channel style material) but perhaps paid marketing is the best?



QUESTION 4:
Do you think anything there is anything too illusory about about our overall vision below?

a. Sell quality Indian foods (spices, medicines, beauty products that can be warehoused for 2 years) to Japan thru quality suppliers and using our brand. Warehouse in Japan.
b. Use the profit to buy a small manufacturing plant in India to streamline the supply chain. I think I'll enjoy doing this (as I can be in India for few times a yr, managing quality & doing Indian things)
c. Sell quality products to US and Europe. Donate quality products to those in need.
