Has Anyone Imported Home Appliances on Here?

[GlobalWealth]

I am looking for some information about importing home appliances, specifically a home heating unit. I have a contact in Eastern Europe that manufacturs a home heating unit that uses about 50% less electricity than a traditional air-to-air heat exchanger. It also has basically zero moving parts, makes no sound, and is much smaller making it easier to locate and install in various places in a home.

It is really a very cool product and costs about the same as the traditional air-to-air units so price is no barrier.

I am looking for info about importing this item and selling it wholesale to contractors and/or distributors. I don't know the legal implications of this type of product though. If anyone has any suggestions or connections, I would appreciate it.

I would look into any certification issues related to the market you plan to sell them in. For example in the US you would need UL approval since it's electrical. There could also be voltage issues depending on the market. I would also take a close look at possible product liability.
