I have direct access to a family-owned apparel factory in China (30 years exp). What would you sell on FBA?

Hi everyone,

I’m a Korean entrepreneur looking to get into Amazon FBA. I’ve been studying the basics, but I want to leverage a specific unfair advantage I have: My father owns a well-established clothing factory in China.

The Situation:

• He has been an OEM for Korean brands for 30 years.
• Capabilities: Clothes, underwear, pet supplies (clothes, beds, homes), work vests, windbreakers, and fabric-based household items.
• Sourcing: He has a deep network to source raw materials cheaply, plus we have low production costs including labor.
• The Edge: No middlemen, I can change product specs instantly, and I have total control over MOQs for testing.

We are planning to go the Private Label route on Amazon US.

My Product Criteria:

1. Small size (low fees).
2. No complex compliance/certifications needed.
3. Fits US lifestyle/culture.
4. Realistic COGS.
5. Good inventory turnover.
6. Must be fabric/sewing based (to use our factory).

If you were me, what niche or strategy would you pursue?

I’m trying to bridge the gap between “having a factory” and “knowing what the US market wants.” Any advice on product ideas or strategy would be huge.
