How did w w did we star start? t?

A friend of us in Palembang, Indonesia, asked us to introduce his “Seasoning Paste” product into US Market As a non-business person, I said “No”, but my wife who has tried the paste and knew how good the products are said “Yes, we’ll do it” As a compromised they simply asked us to bring some

• f the seasoning paste as gift.

We distributed the paste as gift to our friends in the USA and found out that the response was amazing. We saw this as business potential. We realized that properly importing the product according to US regulation is critical in order to grow the business in the future.
