U.S. Import & Distribution Partner for Global Brands
We source products.
We distribute in the U.S.
SMC sources products from Korean and global brands and brings them to the U.S. market. We connect product selection, import readiness, supply-chain operations, inventory, and sales-channel development for U.S. distribution.
The SMC difference
From product discovery
to U.S. distribution.
SMC sources selected products for U.S. distribution and evaluates suitable sales channels with suppliers. We discuss supply terms and the product’s U.S. distribution plan. Where needed, we coordinate import preparation, inventory, and delivery with the relevant partners.

PRODUCT-LED CHANNEL PLANNINGWHAT SMC DOES
Two ways to work
with SMC.
We source selected products for U.S. import and distribution. We also support brands that need a partner for specific U.S. operating tasks.
Selected Product Distribution
We evaluate products for SMC’s sourcing and distribution business, then discuss supply terms, distribution rights, and the U.S. operating plan with the supplier.
U.S. Operations Support
For brands entering the U.S. or managing an existing presence, we agree the import, supply-chain, inventory, and delivery work SMC will handle alongside existing partners.
Purchase or other supply arrangements, distribution rights, and each party’s responsibilities are agreed for the individual product before work begins.
