Mini importation is when you order for commodities online from foreign merchants into your country in small scale. The difference between mini importation and the real importation is that the former is in small scale and you don't have to get approval from government before doing it. And you don't need to pay excise duty apart from logistic fees pay to your shipping agent. Mini importation is lucrative in that you order cheaply from these merchants and sell x2 of the incurred cost. For you to make profit in this business, you have to order for what can quickly move in the markets.
