FAQ

Questions from Pune sellers

Should I use Pune airport or drive to Mumbai?+

Drive to Mumbai for international air freight. PNQ is mostly domestic. Add 4 hours but get 5x more flight options and 30% better rates.

Are auto accessories profitable on Amazon USA from Pune?+

Yes, but pick niche: motorcycle accessories, vintage car parts, custom seat covers. Generic phone holders compete with China and lose.

Best for D2C beauty brands from Pune?+

Magarpatta and Aundh have FDA-compliant contract manufacturers. Lower MOQs than Mumbai (5K-10K units). Great for testing new SKUs.

How about Kolhapur leather slippers on Amazon?+

Niche but works. "Kolhapuri chappals" has US search demand among South Asian diaspora. Premium positioning ($35-65 retail).
