I have an organic t-shirt company in Brazil, we have already begun sales in France, and are now looking to enter the North American market. We use bamboo, organic cotton, cupuaco (amazon fruit) to make our fabrics. I need advice from someone with experience in importing into the U.S. What is the best way to try and enter into the market? I am most interested in which types of entities deal with this type of business in North America, who I should contact (so as not to waste too much time). I am not concerned with import tax and such, mainly on the best contact to make (ie: sales reps, direct to retailers, buyers, etc.) I appreciate your time and your advice. Thank you.

As far as marketing, one way to get your product in front of potential buyers would be to attend trade shows here in the US like the ISS show coming up in January in Long Beach, CA: Imprinted Sportwear Shows

That will expose your products to a wide range of potential buyers. You could also probably network with other manufacturers there who have experience getting blanks into the US.
