Title pretty much says it.
I found this tool called ImportYeti. I had no idea things like this existed but apparently have for a long time now. Pretty much the US makes import records public information and you can find out who uses who as a supplier.
I feel like importing products is a ton easier now. I just search a company and then find their suppliers and reach out to the factory.
I'm in the fitness industry and sell a lot of weight plates and other fitness gadgets. Not only have the few companies I've interacted with been a lot cheaper than my current suppliers (I think I'm going straight to the source instead of through trade groups) but from my samples the quality seems a lot better too.
I've been on a bender trying to private label a lot of the products I retail to juice my profit margins. I've been selling tons of lacrosse balls for myofascial self release. A few quick searches and I found the supplier:
GLADIATOR LACROSSE -- Import History -- ImportYeti
CHUAN QI PRO -- Export History -- ImportYeti
The cost is literally 1/3 the price of what I was getting through my distributor and I get to sell branded product.
Am I the only one whose mind was blown by this? Is everybody already using tools like this?
Also, they say they get their information straight from the government, but I don't know how. Any ideas?
