01 — Who we are

A Korean manufacturer should only have to make the product.

Most Korean factories and brands already have what the world wants. What stops them is everything that comes after the product: a foreign entity to sell under, certification for each region, customs, a warehouse on the far side, listings in a language nobody on the team speaks, and a marketplace account that has to be worked every single day.

GBU Trading takes that whole layer off your desk. We register the seller, prepare the documents, move the goods, build and localise the listings, and run the sales channel — while you keep doing what you are good at.

We work with Korean SMEs and manufacturers who are entering a foreign market for the first time, and with brands that already export but want a single operator instead of five contractors.

02 — Markets

Four directions, chosen for how fast Korean goods actually move there.

We do not open every market at once. We start with the one where your category has demand, margin and a realistic route — and add the next once the first one pays.

01

United States

The largest single pool of paying customers, and the toughest on compliance. FDA and FCC requirements, 3PL on both coasts, review-driven ranking.

02

Europe

Strong demand for Korean beauty and food. Needs CE marking, an EU responsible person, VAT and OSS registration, and stock inside the union.

03

Russia & CIS

Where Korean cosmetics, food and supplements sell fastest relative to effort. Marketplace-dominated, so one good account outweighs a whole retail chain.

Japan & Southeast Asia

Short logistics arm, low freight cost and a market already fluent in Korean brands. The cheapest first step for a smaller manufacturer.

03 — Focus: Ozon

Ozon is the shortest path from a Korean warehouse to a Russian customer.

Russian e-commerce runs on marketplaces, and Ozon is one of the two that matter. Its cross-border programme is built for foreign sellers, and Korean cosmetics, food and health supplements are among the categories buyers search for by name.

For a Korean manufacturer this means one account, one logistics scheme and one content set can replace a distributor network — provided the account is set up correctly and worked daily. That is the part we take.

01

Seller registration

Onboarding under the cross-border programme, or selling through our entity as the seller of record if you would rather not register abroad at all.

02

Cards and localisation

Russian titles, descriptions and attributes written to Ozon's category rules — not machine-translated — plus photo and infographic sets that match the platform's format.

03

Fulfilment scheme

FBO, FBS or realFBS chosen per SKU, with the warehouse cluster picked for where your buyers actually are.

04

Logistics and customs

Consolidation in Korea, freight, customs clearance and delivery into the Ozon warehouse, with the certification each category requires.

05

Sales and settlement

Pricing, promotions and advertising handled week by week; revenue reconciled and remitted back to Korea with a report you can audit.

04 — The platform

One dashboard for every marketplace you sell on.

Our own platform connects to foreign marketplaces over their APIs and pulls everything into one place. You keep a single catalogue and see what is happening on every channel without logging into any of them — in Korean.

  • Marketplaces connected over API — no manual re-entry
  • One catalogue pushed to every channel, prices per market
  • Orders and stock synced, low-stock warnings before you run out
  • Sales analytics by SKU, channel and country
  • Settlement reports: revenue, fees, logistics, what is due to you

05 — Services

Everything between your warehouse and the customer's cart.

Take the whole chain or only the part you are missing. Most partners start with one market and one channel, then widen once the numbers hold.

01

Market and assortment review

We look at your catalogue against real demand and competition abroad, and tell you which SKUs will carry the entry — and which will not.

02

Certification and documents

EAC, CE, FDA and category-specific paperwork, prepared for the destination market before the goods move, not after.

03

Seller registration

Marketplace accounts opened and verified — or sold through our own entity, so you never register a foreign company.

04

Content and localisation

Listings written by native speakers to each platform's rules, with photo, infographic and video sets built for that market's buyer.

05

Logistics and customs

Consolidation in Korea, freight, clearance and delivery into the marketplace warehouse, tracked end to end.

06

Sales operations

Pricing, promotions, advertising, reviews and customer messages — worked weekly, reported monthly, settled to Korea.

06 — How it goes

From first call to first payout.

A typical entry takes two to four months, most of it spent on documents rather than on selling. We tell you the honest timeline for your category at the first meeting.

01

Enquiry

You send the catalogue. We assess demand, margin and restrictions for each market.

02

Plan

Market, channel and scheme agreed, with the cost and the timeline written down.

03

Paperwork

Certification, seller registration, contract. The slow part — we run it in parallel.

04

Launch

First shipment, listings live, initial pricing and advertising set.

05

Operate

Weekly management, monthly reporting, settlement back to Korea. Then the next market.

07 — Categories

Where Korean origin is itself the selling point.

These four carry most of what we move. If your product sits outside them, tell us anyway — the constraint is demand and certification, not the category name.

01

Beauty & personal care

Skincare, masks, suncare, haircare. The category that opens every market fastest.

02

Food & supplements

Snacks, sauces, seaweed, red ginseng, vitamins. Heaviest on certification, strongest on repeat orders.

03

Home & kitchen

Cookware, small appliances, textiles and storage. Bulky, so the logistics scheme decides the margin.

04

Electronics accessories

Audio, charging, mobile and desk accessories. Light, high-turnover, certification-sensitive.

08 — Contact

Send the catalogue. We will tell you where it sells.

Write in Korean, Russian or English — whichever is easier. The first assessment of your assortment costs nothing and usually comes back within a few working days.
