Before your first order

• Invoices to your exact legal entity, itemized by UPC/model — the standard that survives marketplace verification.
• Both MOQ levels: per-product minimum and account minimum order value.
• Marketplace clauses in the dealer agreement — some programs restrict Amazon resale; know before you apply.
• The brand’s enforcement posture if you plan marketplace resale — see how takedowns work.

Caveat: The main constraint is perishables logistics — distribution is LA-based and cold-chain dependent — so confirm shipping feasibility for your region before committing.
