Chapter 01 · 01-10
Launch: Lonely brand, let's go to the US
The campaign's first 10 cards. Why the US, and why now.
Lonely brand, let's go to the US
The campaign's opening line, for indie brand owners who made a great product but can't find where to sell it. Don't hold out alone. Get ready for the US market with us.
Great at making it. Nowhere to sell it.
Korea has 27,932 registered cosmetics sellers (Korea MFDS, 2024). With that many brands competing for the same home market, a good product alone is hard to survive on.
America is waiting for K-beauty
Korea is the No.1 source of US cosmetics imports (USITC, 2024 data). With K-beauty exports at a record high in 2024, the US market is already open.
FDA. MoCRA. Customs. No fear.
Paperwork and procedures are the biggest export barrier. AI agents draft your MoCRA checklist and export documents first, forwarders handle customs, and you manage it all in one place on KWAVE.
The work you did alone, AI shares it
Meet the AI staff for solo brands. AI agents draft your product info, English copy and compliance checklists, and you review and approve.
Incheon to LA, all in one place
Korean forwarders handle pickup, export clearance and ocean freight, and US forwarders handle US customs and delivery to the warehouse. You request a spot on a forwarder's run and manage every leg, up to US warehouse receiving, on one KWAVE board.
Solo brands can sell in the US too
No staff, not much English? You can still run your export from one system. AI drafts the documents, forwarders move the cargo, and the KWAVE US warehouse ships orders within the US.
Just list it. Run the rest on one board
List on KwaveGO B2B and AI agents draft your English product info. Send stock to the US warehouse on a forwarder's run, the warehouse ships orders as they come in, and you manage it all on one board.
First in, first on the shelf
Brands that move first meet the market first. Sign up and apply for Trade Pass to start preparing your US launch.
The US is waiting for your product
The campaign's call to action. Sign up and apply for Trade Pass, and prepare your US launch on KWAVE instead of fighting alone.
Chapter 02 · 11-20
Objections: money · English · inventory · trade shows
Crossing off the reasons you can't go, one by one.
No big budget? Still go to the US
Instead of a costly trade show booth, start small: ship by the pallet on a consolidation run. You don't need to fill a container on day one.
No English? Still sell to the US
AI agents draft your product copy and buyer emails in English, and you check them before they go out. Language is no longer a reason to stay out of the US.
Your product on US shelves
Picture your brand on the shelf of a Korean market in LA or a beauty shop in New York. KwaveGO B2B is the catalog where US retailers and wholesale buyers source Korean products.
3 steps to the US
Sign up, get Trade Pass approved and start a plan, then send stock to the US warehouse on a forwarder's run and sell on KwaveGO B2B and Kwave B2C. At each step, AI agents draft the documents and product info you need.
List today, get there sooner
While you hesitate, competitors move. Sign up today and your US prep starts that much sooner.
Skip booths. Just list.
Trade shows vs KwaveGO B2B. Instead of a fortune in booth fees, interpreters and travel, put your products in the catalog US buyers browse.
You're not alone
Indie brands that fought alone now head to the US on the same platform. The road to the US is one we walk together.
The world noticed first
Korea is the No.1 source of US cosmetics imports (USITC, 2024 data). This is the K-beauty era, and now it's your product's turn.
Inventory? Start with a pallet
No need to fill a container. Request a spot on a Korean forwarder's consolidation run by the pallet and send only what you need.
Now is the best time
The longer you wait, the more US shelves fill with other brands. Sign up now and start with Trade Pass.

How KWAVE helps, in 15 cards.
Hire an AI export team
An AI agent team for solo brands that can't hire. Agents prepare drafts any time, and nothing runs until you approve it.
AI drafts your product listings
Upload photos and the basics, and AI agents draft your Korean and English product info, down to category, keywords and specs. You just review and edit.
AI drafts your English product pages
AI agents turn your Korean copy into English drafts written for US shoppers, tone included. You check the final wording before it goes up.
AI reviews your FDA paperwork
AI agents check your ingredient lists, labels and documents against a MoCRA facility registration and product listing checklist. Registration and final calls stay with the brand and its experts.
US buyers find you in the catalog
Trade Pass-approved US retailers and wholesale buyers compare brands in the KwaveGO B2B catalog. Once your products are listed, buyers find them on their own.
Customs to delivery, on one board
Request a spot on a forwarder's run, follow export and US customs, and track US warehouse receiving and shipping, all on one board. Korean and US forwarders do the shipping and customs, and the records come together in KWAVE.
Orders ship from the US warehouse
Stock you send ahead on a forwarder's run is stored at the KWAVE US warehouse, and when orders come in, the warehouse ships them within the US.
Track customs on one screen
Forwarders file the export declaration and clear US customs, and you follow the progress on your KWAVE board. AI agents prepare the document list and drafts ahead of time.
Korean brands, meet US stores
Stock you place for sale goes into the KwaveGO B2B catalog after review, and Trade Pass-approved US retailers order it on kwavego.com. It's a B2B channel linking Korean brands and US stores on one platform.
Catalog to order, one flow
US buyers pick products in the KwaveGO B2B catalog and order and pay on kwavego.com. AI agents draft your replies to buyer questions, and you decide what to send.
Sell to US shoppers too
US shoppers buy in the KWAVE store (shop.kwave.ai) and in stores run by sellers and influencers through Kwave B2C dropshipping. The KWAVE US warehouse packs and ships every order.
Your payouts at a glance
Each time consigned stock sells, it's added to your payout ledger, and warehouse and forwarder costs show on itemized invoices. You see what costs what, in one place.
Meet US fans live
K-beauty shines in a demo. On K-Live, a video platform the KWAVE family runs separately, you meet US fans through product demos and live streams.
AI drafts your English captions
AI agents draft your video intros and captions in English for US viewers. You check them, then post.
All together, it's your export OS
Kwave Agent Workspace, Kwave Logistics, Kwave WMS, KwaveGO B2B and Kwave B2C. Manage a Korean brand's US expansion on one platform.
Chapter 04 · 36-55
20 owner worries
Answers to 20 worries brand owners often have.
No budget for ads
Big brands win with ads, but indies win with product and story. AI agents draft your brand story and product info in English.
Unsold stock sinks you
Start with a pallet, not a container. Send only what sells on a consolidation run and carry less inventory risk.
If not Olive Young, then where?
Korean shelves aren't the only shelves. The KwaveGO B2B catalog, browsed by US retailers and wholesale buyers, is a new one.
Big brands crush you on price
At home it's a price war, but in the US, K-beauty itself is the edge. Compete on value, not price.
No reviews, no sales
A new brand with no reviews starts with its first order. Your first order into a US store becomes your brand's first track record.
Can't afford influencer fees
Skip the big sponsorship fees and sell to US retailers on KwaveGO B2B. Influencers and sellers can also list Kwave B2C products in their own stores.
How do I ship overseas?
From Korea to the US, your cargo travels on a consolidation run a Korean forwarder opens. Stock in the US warehouse ships from there when orders come in, and you follow it all on your KWAVE board.
Can't write one line of English
Just make a great product. AI agents draft your product copy and buyer replies in English, and you review them.
What even is the FDA?
Not knowing is nothing to be ashamed of. AI sorts out what you need with a MoCRA and FDA checklist first, and you handle registration and the final check with experts.
Paid in USD. What about taxes?
Your sales and costs stay on record in KWAVE as payout entries and itemized invoices. Take that record to a tax professional for your filings.
What if US orders come back?
Returns are part of selling. The KWAVE operations team receives and inspects each US return, then restocks it, marks it damaged, disposes of it or sends it back to the brand, and you follow the status on your board.
Nobody knows our brand
Every big brand started out unknown. A message of encouragement: start in the US, where products get judged before names.
24 hours isn't enough
For solo owners doing the making, packing, customer support and social alone: at least share the export work. AI agents prepare drafts of documents, translations and checklists first.
Afraid of knockoffs?
Fakes can copy the price, never the value. Entering US stores through official channels is the best way to protect your brand.
Trends change too fast
Chasing trends alone is exhausting. AI agents organize your US buyer orders and sales records so you can read what's selling.
Where are overseas buyers?
No need to go hunting for buyers. Trade Pass-approved US retailers find brands on their own in the KwaveGO B2B catalog.
Small runs, unit costs too high
Making less and getting full price for it is an indie strategy. For export, send only what you need by the pallet on a consolidation run.
No time for Instagram
Social media is optional. In B2B, product comes before content, so fill in your catalog product info before you film Reels.
Exporting makes taxes complicated
Don't struggle alone with VAT, duties and withholding. Ask a tax professional, and bring the itemized costs and invoices per export that KWAVE keeps.
No one to turn to
To the owner up late, worrying alone: talk it through with your AI agents first. The Director agent lines up the tasks, and you make the decisions.

10 steps for new brands
From signing up with your business registration to your first sale, in 10 steps.
Start with your business registration
Even without a corporation or factory, you can sign up with your business registration and apply for Trade Pass, along with a bank account copy and the representative's ID. Cosmetics brands also submit product documents such as a cosmetics seller registration certificate.
Start with product photos
Upload product photos and the basics, and AI agents draft your Korean and English product pages. You review them, then list.
Your brand story, in English
AI agents draft your brand's origin story in English for US shoppers. You polish it and use it on product pages and in the catalog.
Prep your first export docs together
It's natural not to know the first time. AI drafts your MoCRA facility registration and product listing checklist and export documents like a commercial invoice and packing list. The brand registers, and forwarders handle customs.
Show US buyers your product
Great products sell when they're seen. Put your photos and Korean and English product info in the KwaveGO B2B catalog, and US buyers browse it themselves.
With you until the first order
Listing isn't just waiting. When buyer questions come in, AI agents draft your replies, and you decide what to send.
Test the US with one pallet
Before mass production, send a small shipment by the pallet on a consolidation run and see how the US responds.
A first draft of your US price
How much should you charge? AI agents work out a draft price with estimated duties and freight, and you set the final price.
Go live on K-Live
You don't need to show your face. Start meeting fans with a single product demo video on K-Live, the KWAVE family's video platform.
With you from day one
From sign-up, Trade Pass and a plan to requesting a spot on a run, US warehouse receiving, and selling on KwaveGO B2B and Kwave B2C. Manage a new brand's US launch on one platform, step by step.

Growth Partner: more sales channels
After logistics come sales channels. Today you can widen them with the KWAVE store, KwaveGO B2B and influencer dropshipping. Influencer seeding and TikTok Shop are in the works with growth partners.
Finding the right hands
Influencer seeding is a next step we're preparing with growth partners. For now, influencers can list products in their own stores through Kwave B2C dropshipping.
When the scroll stops, checkout starts
Content is the shelf. Influencers list products in their own Shopify or WooCommerce stores, and the KWAVE US warehouse ships the orders.
There are customers off Amazon
Depend less on one channel. Widen your reach beyond Amazon with the KWAVE store, KwaveGO B2B retail and influencer dropshipping. TikTok Shop is in the works with growth partners.

Seen the cards? Time to act.
That's all 68 stories. Now it's your turn.
Campaign copy is not a promise of figures or results. Sources for the numbers on these cards: 27,932 registered cosmetics sellers and record-high K-beauty exports in 2024 come from a Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety press release (May 27, 2025, 2024 data). Korea as the No.1 source of US cosmetics imports comes from USITC 2024 data, as reported by the Korea International Trade Association (March 31, 2025). KWAVE is not a forwarder and does not clear customs or file FDA registrations for anyone. Korean and US forwarders handle shipping and customs, and you manage the whole process in one place on KWAVE. AI agents make drafts, and nothing runs until a person approves it.
