Any suggestions?
I playing with the idea of starting my own buisness, and figured importing can be a great if I play it right. Thing is I'm pretty low on $$$, so I was wondering if you have any thoughts on how one would go about starting. Or if you ever started your own buisness how'd you do it?
 
Import some North Korean AK-47s, you can mke a ton of money and I'm sure it will go over really well with U.S. Customs.

That's a big mistake. The 'what' is the most important part of a potential company. You have to identify a market and you have to learn your product thoroughly.

Not to mention seeing if there are restrictions on what you can import, and the amount that can be imported.
 
well just contact the wholesalers of the products that you have (or will have) to offer... they'll obviously have a supplier, so you'll have to either beat their price (in which case, the current supplier, who may be connected to the mafia, may break your legs) or find a wholesaler that needs more of that product...

the best thing to do i think, would be to import whatever it is, then go to different stores that may sell that product, and ask if they would like you to be their supplier.. you would, of course, have to offer it at a lower price, or somehow be the only one that is importing that product.. maybe get in contact with the manufacturer... but to do that you'd probably have to have money to buy a large order from them

Just imports? No exports?
Him and his girlfriend had a huge fight over this. He wants to quit the exporting andfocus just on the importing. And it's a problem because she thinks the exporting is as important as the importing.
