Coach purses are huge in Thailand.

Go to the Coach outlet and buy a few purses for 100-150.

They sell for 300-450 in Thailand.

I've seen Asian dudes at Coach buying 5-10 bags.

It ain't for their relatives

Keyword is a few. Too many and Coach will flag you not to mention you might get caught in the airport.

What is there to keep one from selling them, or the Levi's mentioned below, online from the US in foreign countries?

Obviously having product in hand is preferable, but could be a decent side biz.

I ship a lot of stuff with UPS. The rates I have are at cost aka 50% off.

A 8x8 box weighing 4lbs would cost me 60 bucks to ship. For everyone else you can double that. It gets there in a few days.

It's way cheaper through USPS but it's not as reliable and takes a lot longer.

Even if you ship 10 at a time you might make some profit but likely break even.

I haven't even mentioned tariffs
Or even getting them through customs

I know a dude who shipped 8 iPhones to Russia. Box never got there. It actually got back to him empty. He investigated it and everyone acted like they didn't know what happened to them.

Unless you have someone high up in the world of customs, a bulk buyer, and a hookup with your shipping services it ain't worth it.
