I recently got access to a used clothing wholesaler in the US. I would like to know if this business is still lucrative. Looking on Nairaland, I realized that most bales are from the UK. Does the UK have a better selection of clothes than the US or could it be that US bales are more expensive due to high costs of logistics?

Am I required to set up a distribution store/warehouse in Nigeria or Cotonou to sell to retailers in bales or can I just ship it off from the US to retailers in Nigeria?
I would like to sell top quality children's clothes (Like the Abercrombie&Fitch, GAP, Guess, Forever 21, etc)
Women (Branded corporate work blouses, shirts, suits and co)
And maybe shoes/sandals or Men's shirts.

How do I get started?
Thanks.
