The fastest-growing buyer for ayurvedic supplements landed in the United States is an Amazon FBA, Shopify, Etsy or TikTok Shop seller restocking 200–500 units at a time, not a distributor buying by the pallet — landed cost is quoted per unit, in USD, so it can be checked directly against a marketplace listing price. Amazon FBA prep — labelling, polybagging and carton marking to the destination fulfilment centre's requirements — is arranged per order; confirm the exact prep specification for your listing before dispatch, since it varies by product and by Amazon's own current requirements.
