9 categories. Margin data. Volume expectations. Compliance gotchas. Pulled from $2.14M of 2025 GMV across our active client base. No guesswork, no AI-generated category guides.
Not every Indian product works on Amazon USA. Here is the 3-question filter we use with new clients.
If your sell price is under $20, FBA fees + freight + Amazon referral often eat all margin. You need $30+ retail to make the unit economics work for products coming from India. Use the cost calculator to test before committing.
For generic categories (plastics, basic electronics, cheap toys), China has 5-10x shipping cost advantage. Pick categories where the Indian origin story matters: handloom textiles, Ayurvedic beauty, copperware, organic cotton, fair-trade certifications.
Beauty (FDA registration: $1,000-2,000). Kids products (CPSIA testing: $500-2,000 per product). Food (FDA + facility inspection: $2,000-5,000). Electronics (FCC: $3,000-8,000). Budget for compliance BEFORE picking the category.
