hi guys, been a while since i last used this forum, had to register a new acc. Anyways, was hoping to get some answers regarding providing foreign booster boxes services and how am i able to contact a distributor in Russia?
From what i've read, i know that a lot of stores do not ship internationally, so is it still worth it to get from a shop and ship to others then? (Russian or Korean mainly) as for other languages, not sure, require thoughts from others.
On top of that, is it even possible to search for a distributor? or would they even deal with me? (any specific amount requirements?)
Kindly share your insights and thoughts regarding this matter.
Will edit and update post, thank you everyone in advance.
I work for a shop and do business directly with two distributors. At least the ones I deal with will not interact directly with the public apart from directing you to a store that orders through them. Authorized retailers can't ship international; you have to sign a contract saying you won't to become one.

WOtC has an agreement with any gamestore which wants to carry their products and host tournaments, that they are not allowed to ship product outside their market area (usually a continent or region, but both Russia and Korea are both limited to their countries). This was done around 2007 or 06, as the Euro value went up and european buyers bought lot of product abroad and chinese product had earlier crashed box prices at US.
This only applies to in-print sets, but most stores avoid selling even OOP sealed products. The only way to buy these legally is either visit the countries in question, find a private third-party in those countries to buy the product and ship it to you or buy the small amount of foreign product each distributor gets of each set. For most stores their distributor offers one or two boxes of foreign product if they order enough english boxes (and in US you need to be a store to do this.).
If it would be easy to get rare foreign boxes, they wouldn't be rare and worth the trouble to get.
