Dietary supplements in the USA wholesale: counterfeits, grey imports and risks for business

Introduction

The United States is considered a leader in the production of biologically active additives (BAA), and many entrepreneurs seek to purchase American brands in bulk. However, the reality is that there are practically no official supply channels, and the market is flooded with fakes and gray imports.

In this article, we will analyze why buying American dietary supplements carries serious risks, what problems are most often encountered when importing them, and why it is more reliable to work with ALPHAMALE.ltd (brand HEISEN st), where the products are certified according to international standards and are completely legal.

Why is it difficult to import American dietary supplements legally?

On the Russian market, more than 80% of American dietary supplements enter through gray imports, which creates a number of problems:

• Lack of official suppliers – most brands from the USA do not have certified distributors in Russia.
• Customs issues – such dietary supplements are often labeled as “food products,” which can lead to their confiscation.
• Lack of SGR (State Registration Certificate) – without this documentation, products are prohibited from being sold in official networks.

Fact: In 2023, Russian customs seized more than 50,000 packages of American dietary supplements that were imported illegally.
