Brand intake
We start by mapping a manufacturer’s full catalog — SKUs, scales, materials, current pricing, and stock levels — alongside their trade terms and priorities for which markets to enter first.
Process
One distribution point, clear movement from factory to customer
USMD manages the handoffs between a Ukrainian workshop and an international shelf, so each side only has to manage one relationship.
Market access
USMD presents the finished brand profile to distributors, hobby shops, and specialty retailers already active in scale modeling, matching brands to the partners best positioned to sell them.
Operations
Once a partnership is confirmed, we coordinate day-to-day communication, invoicing and payment processing, export documentation, and the physical shipping flow from Ukraine to the partner’s warehouse.
Growth
Partners get ongoing access to new releases and the wider USMD catalog, with a single point of contact for reorders, launches, and any issues that come up along the way.

Common questions
Do you handle customs and duties?
USMD manages export documentation from Ukraine. Import duties and destination customs remain the receiving partner’s responsibility unless otherwise agreed.
Can I work with a single brand instead of the whole catalog?
Yes. Distributors and retailers can start with one brand and add others from the USMD catalog later.
What order quantities do you require?
Minimum order quantities vary by brand and are shared during onboarding, once trade terms are discussed directly.
