AMI assists North American brands access and sell on various global e-commerce sales channels.
These platforms are becoming the “go to” retailers for consumers worldwide. Exporters do not need to change packaging or formulas, nor are customs duties and arduous import registration procedures required for North American products. It is a relatively simple, efficient and low-cost means of building a global brand presence and gaining incremental sales growth.
