The largest single pool of paying customers, and the toughest on compliance. FDA and FCC requirements, 3PL on both coasts, review-driven ranking.
Export partner for Korean manufacturers
We take Korean brands into the United States, Europe, Russia and Southeast Asia — seller registration, certification, logistics and day-to-day marketplace operations, handled end to end.
01 — Who we are
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
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.
The largest single pool of paying customers, and the toughest on compliance. FDA and FCC requirements, 3PL on both coasts, review-driven ranking.
Strong demand for Korean beauty and food. Needs CE marking, an EU responsible person, VAT and OSS registration, and stock inside the union.
Where Korean cosmetics, food and supplements sell fastest relative to effort. Marketplace-dominated, so one good account outweighs a whole retail chain.
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
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.
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.
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.
FBO, FBS or realFBS chosen per SKU, with the warehouse cluster picked for where your buyers actually are.
Consolidation in Korea, freight, customs clearance and delivery into the Ozon warehouse, with the certification each category requires.
Pricing, promotions and advertising handled week by week; revenue reconciled and remitted back to Korea with a report you can audit.
04 — The platform
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.
05 — Services
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.
We look at your catalogue against real demand and competition abroad, and tell you which SKUs will carry the entry — and which will not.
EAC, CE, FDA and category-specific paperwork, prepared for the destination market before the goods move, not after.
Marketplace accounts opened and verified — or sold through our own entity, so you never register a foreign company.
Listings written by native speakers to each platform's rules, with photo, infographic and video sets built for that market's buyer.
Consolidation in Korea, freight, clearance and delivery into the marketplace warehouse, tracked end to end.
Pricing, promotions, advertising, reviews and customer messages — worked weekly, reported monthly, settled to Korea.
06 — How it goes
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.
You send the catalogue. We assess demand, margin and restrictions for each market.
Market, channel and scheme agreed, with the cost and the timeline written down.
Certification, seller registration, contract. The slow part — we run it in parallel.
First shipment, listings live, initial pricing and advertising set.
Weekly management, monthly reporting, settlement back to Korea. Then the next market.
07 — Categories
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.
Skincare, masks, suncare, haircare. The category that opens every market fastest.
Snacks, sauces, seaweed, red ginseng, vitamins. Heaviest on certification, strongest on repeat orders.
Cookware, small appliances, textiles and storage. Bulky, so the logistics scheme decides the margin.
Audio, charging, mobile and desk accessories. Light, high-turnover, certification-sensitive.
08 — Contact
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.
