Question 8

Is there a risk involved in selling on Amazon USA from India?

Accepted Answer

Yes, selling on Amazon USA from India carries significant financial risk, primarily through inventory capital and marketing spend. If your product does not sell, your capital is locked in physical goods sitting in a US warehouse with mounting storage fees.

The biggest mistake we see founders make is ignore unit economics. They calculate shipping and product costs but forget to account for 15% referral fees, $5–$8 FBA fulfillment costs, and high CPC (cost-per-click) bids that can reach $3 per click in competitive niches. If your gross margin is less than 70%, you have almost zero room for error. Another risk is regulatory compliance; shipping supplements or cosmetics without proper FDA labeling can lead to your entire shipment being destroyed at the border.
