Sell Your Products to the Largest Retail Accounts Across the United States

A typical U.S. market entry takes 3-9 months depending on category and channel. Amazon and e-commerce launches can begin producing sales within 60-90 days, while major brick-and-mortar placements follow retailer category review calendars that run 6-12 months out. CPI builds a phased plan so early e-commerce revenue funds the retail rollout.

Budgets vary by category, but brands should plan for compliance and certification costs, retail-ready packaging, inventory, slotting or promotional allowances where applicable, and marketing support. CPI designs entry plans that match your budget — starting with capital-efficient channels like Amazon before scaling into mass retail.

Not necessarily. Many international brands begin selling through a U.S. importer-of-record arrangement, 3PL warehousing, or FBA without forming a U.S. entity. CPI advises on the right structure for your tax, liability, and logistics situation and can manage the entire operational setup.

For most consumer brands, Amazon is the optimal first channel — it builds sales history, reviews, and velocity data that brick-and-mortar buyers demand. From there, the right second channel depends on your category: specialty retail for premium products, convenience for impulse items, or grocery/club for consumables with proven demand.

Absolutely. While we specialize in bringing international brands into the U.S., we also help American brands expand into new retail channels, add national accounts, and scale distribution — leveraging the same buyer relationships and channel expertise.

It depends on the category: FDA registration and labeling for food, beverages, supplements and cosmetics; FCC certification for electronics; CPSC compliance and CPSIA testing for children's products; USDA for certain agricultural goods. CPI maps your exact regulatory pathway and manages the process with vetted labs and consultants.
