The Real Challenge

Amazon India has compliance requirements that most generic sourcing companies miss — BIS certifications, IS marks, account health metrics. A sourcing partner who doesn't understand Amazon-specific requirements will cost you more in listing removals and account suspensions than their fee saves.

Problems We Solve

Pain

⚠️ BIS compliance failures leading to listing removals or account suspension

Solution

Compliance-first product selection — BIS requirements checked before sourcing begins

Pain

⚠️ High return rates (15–25%) destroying net margin

Solution

Root cause diagnosis — returns traced to packaging defect or production QC issue and fixed at source

Pain

⚠️ FBA packaging not meeting Amazon requirements (barcode, poly bag)

Solution

FBA-ready packaging sourced alongside the product — not retrofitted after delivery

Pain

⚠️ COGS too high to compete on Amazon India pricing

Solution

Direct factory pricing — skip the trading company markup of 15–25%

Pain

⚠️ Single supplier dependency — stockouts tank ranking

Solution

2nd supplier identified for every top-volume ASIN

Frequently Asked Questions

Which products need BIS certification to sell on Amazon India?+
Electronics (chargers, cables, headphones, power banks), toys (IS 9873), helmets (IS 4151), wires and cables (IS 694), and several other safety-sensitive categories. Amazon India increasingly requires BIS registration numbers in the listing. Selling without required BIS leads to listing suppression or account health warnings.
How do I reduce my return rate on Amazon India?+
Returns fall into three categories: product doesn't match listing photos (listing problem), product is defective or damaged in transit (QC/packaging problem), product doesn't meet customer expectation (positioning problem). Alif diagnoses which category your returns fall into and fixes the root cause — not the symptom.
What is FBA-ready packaging?+
FBA requires: scannable barcode on every unit, suffocation warning on poly bags over certain sizes, carton marking with ASIN and content, no loose items in carton. Getting this wrong leads to FBA prep fees or rejected shipments. We source packaging that meets these requirements from day one.
Should I move from wholesale reselling to private label on Amazon?+
If you have 3+ months of consistent sales history on a product, private label is worth considering. Moving to private label typically improves gross margin by 15–25 percentage points and protects you from listing hijackers. Alif manages the full private label transition from factory to Amazon Brand Registry.
