You should be targeting tech startup's kitchen staff with this. Imagine if the people who stock Google or Facebook's food pantries bought a bunch of subscriptions. You could also target campus stores at universities with a large Asian population.
- bemmu 15y agoI don't know how to navigate the regulations to get a bulk amount of edible product into the US. Any ideas?

- bemmu 15y agoI sent this question to the mentioned e-mail address industry@fda.gov last August, but never got a response. Retrying.
- literalusername 15y agoAny luck this time around? If not I'd give them a telephone call.
- bemmu 15y agoI got a copypasta response from them, outlining the steps I already took on their website. Will read it carefully to see if contains any of the info I actually asked for. One thing is that they expect me to use their web interface to file "prior notice" for every single package I send. I see writing a scraping script in my future..
- literalusername 15y agoGovernment loves bureaucracy.
- temphn 15y agoThis is like contacting the IRS for assistance with your tax bill.
- dangrossman 15y agoIs that supposed to be a bad thing? The IRS provides amazing tax advice -- on the phone, for free -- ask any question and they'll give a detailed answer, point you to the exact parts of the tax code that answer your question, and send you a copy of the documentation if you want.
- tstegart 15y agoHowever, if you relay on the IRS' advice and they turn out to be wrong, you still get hit with a tax bill. "Trust us, but don't trust us." Gotta love government.
- ars 15y agoThat's not completely true: http://taxrelief.lifetips.com/faq/129997/0/what-if-i-rely-on-irs-incorrect-advice/index.html http://taxrelief.lifetips.com/faq/129997/0/what-if-i-rely-on... You have to pay the tax, yes, but no penalty, so you have nothing to loose by asking.
- geuis 15y ago@bemmu maybe you should get in touch with the guys at Zerocater. Try emailing Andrew Badr, andrew@zerocater.com.
- bemmu 15y agoAlright, trying that.
