I'm I allowed to sell products with packaging in a foreign language?
I have a question. I've found some products in Vietnam that I would like to ship to Amazon USA. I plan to create an entirely new listing (therefore it won't be an online arbitage), however the text on the packaging are in Vietnamese. I'm I therefore allow to sell Vietnamese-labelled products?
I'm looking at other Vietnamese products, most of them are coffee-related and from my research, most of them are in English, I've only found one product that has Vietnamese text on it.

No, you have to create at least a sticker with the translation with all legally necessary elements. do a research about labelling.

Have you done your research to find out if you can even sell those products in the US? Do they meet all labeling requirements by the FDA? Will you have the proper invoices not receipts for the product if Amazon asks? Will you have all the relevant testing for food products that amazon may ask for?
And most importantly, how will you get approval for a catagory that amazon seems to only be allowing manufacturers of name brand food products sell in lately?

Hello @Seller_Ids8GeZPJ4ar2,
I would agree with what was said by @Seller_rI7BZIczK8iACand @Seller_0rXAME9V4LQSx, in which you must have a translation available on the packaging and also the necessary approvals and documentation to sell the product in the US.
I would recommend checking out the Packaging, prep, and labelling requirements Seller U video which goes over those details required to properly label your product. You would also want to review Invoice requirements for when you apply to sell.
Thanks and have a great day.
