Feroz Harvest The Brief
Commercial Brief · Confidential

The color & black-clothes specialist from Monterrey. Not on U.S. shelves — yet.

CASAM is a Monterrey laundry brand that has been making detergent since 1998 — "porque el mundo se vive en colores." Seven SKUs built around one job: keeping color and black clothes looking new. Biodegradable, phosphate-free, concentrated and made for high-efficiency washers. It already sits on H-E-B, Walmart, Bodega Aurrerá, Soriana and Merco shelves in México and sells on Amazon México — but it has no U.S. storefront of its own. Feroz Harvest builds and runs that entire business unit — Amazon, own store, TikTok Shop, importing, warehousing and fulfillment — with $0 upfront and your product staying yours until it sells.

01 · The Opportunity

Dark & color care is the corner of the laundry aisle the big brands treat as an afterthought.

Every American household does laundry, and a growing slice of them searches for one specific thing: a detergent that keeps black jeans black and colors from fading. On Amazon that shelf is thin — a couple of legacy names and a handful of imports — while "detergent for black clothes" and "color safe detergent" get searched all year long. CASAM's whole catalog is built around exactly that job, and it arrives with the three things the U.S. shopper now reads as premium: biodegradable, phosphate-free and made for HE washers. Twenty-seven years in Monterrey, national retail across México, Amazon México — the product is proven. What's missing is a real U.S. ecommerce home.

🖤
01

A Thin Shelf, Constant Searches

"Detergent for black clothes" and "dark laundry detergent" are evergreen searches with very few dedicated answers. Black & Black and BLK walk straight into that gap.

🌿
02

Green + HE Is the Price of Entry

Biodegradable, phosphate-free, concentrated, HE-compatible — the U.S. shopper reads these as the premium tier now, not the eco niche. CASAM has them across the whole line.

🔁
03

Laundry Repeats Itself

A jug is 64 loads, then it's gone. Detergent and softener are the definition of a reorder — built for Subscribe & Save and a refill rhythm.

👥
04

Two Buyers, One Line

Mexican and Latino households that already trust laundry from home — and the mainstream shopper who finds CASAM through a dark-clothes search. Same jug, two doors.

And it's already validated: CASAM sits on H-E-B, Walmart, Bodega Aurrerá, Soriana and Merco shelves across México and sells on Amazon México — real pull with no U.S. distribution behind it yet. The demand is real; the storefront is what's missing.

02 · What We're Building

You already built the hard half. We build the other one.

A plant in Monterrey, formulas that have held up for 27 years, and pull that already shows up on H-E-B and Walmart shelves and Amazon México — that's the half almost nobody manages to build, and CASAM has it. What's missing is narrow and specific: a U.S. entity, a U.S. Amazon account, an English storefront and someone who imports and answers the customer. Feroz Harvest provides the legal and operational umbrella: sales run under our U.S. LLC, we import and operate — and CASAM keeps doing the part that can't be outsourced.

03 · Operational Model

Open consignment: stock moves first — but it stays yours.

The U.S. runs at Prime speed — and Prime doesn't wait at the border. So inventory positions ahead of demand: Feroz picks up each lot EXW at the CASAM plant in Monterrey, crosses it, imports it and holds it in Laredo — but every jug stays CASAM's property until the moment it sells. You never finance our operation, and we never speculate with your product. Detergent is easy and safe to consign: long shelf life, no cold chain, sealed jugs that travel well.

Payout

Your EXW price per unit sold + the 5% Brand Loyalty Bonus.

Right of return: unsold stock can go back to CASAM at any time — return freight on Feroz. From the moment we pick it up at your dock it is insured and it is our custodial responsibility. Rotation runs FEFO by lot — every SKU is a sealed, shelf-stable liquid with a long shelf life, so there is no cold chain and no rapid-rotation risk; lots simply sell oldest-first.

04 · Channel Strategy

Every digital channel, from zero — in phases.

No spreading thin on day one. Each phase builds on the last: Amazon with FBA first — Color & Color and Black & Black leading — then the own storefront, then the rest. One operational core behind every channel.

Walmart MarketplaceMeta ShopFaire · digital wholesale
💻Ecommerce only — and that is deliberate.

Feroz sells through digital channels only. Every channel above is an ecommerce channel. We can absolutely run a wholesale operation — but only where the order originates in ecommerce (Faire, Amazon Business, B2B orders through the storefront). We do not go into retail placement.

CASAM already lives on H-E-B, Walmart, Soriana and Merco shelves in México and on Amazon México. That business is yours and stays untouched. Once the product is landed here and moving, we can help open U.S. retail conversations — but that is a courtesy, not the scope of this agreement. Our focus is ecommerce, and that focus is why it works.

⚠️ INITIAL PROPOSAL ONLY — channels and phasing are not final. We still need to review CASAM's specific case, product by product, before locking the channel plan.
05 · Getting Detergent Into the U.S.

It's a household chemical, not food. Compliance is yours — importing and the storefront are ours.

Laundry detergent doesn't go through the FDA — it answers to the EPA's chemical rules (TSCA), the consumer-product safety agency (CPSC) and a few state laws. The split is clear: CASAM prepares the U.S. compliance package — full formula with CAS numbers, safety data sheets and an English label with U.S.-standard claims. Feroz is the importer of record: we pick up EXW, cross, file the customs entry and the chemical import certification, and take over from the moment the product lands in Laredo. No lot crosses until your package is ready.

🧪
01 · BRAND SIDE

Formula & SDS

Full ingredient list with CAS numbers and an English safety data sheet per SKU — the chemical import certification is built on this. Ready before lot #1 moves.

🏷️
02 · BRAND SIDE

U.S. Label & Claims

English label with net contents in fl oz, the cautionary statements U.S. detergents carry, ingredient disclosure for California — and the "biodegradable" and "eco" claims worded the way the U.S. allows.

🛃
03 · FEROZ SIDE

Importer of Record

Feroz picks up EXW Monterrey, crosses and files the customs entry and the chemical import certification. With your USMCA certificate of origin the jugs cross duty-free.

📦
04 · FEROZ SIDE

Custody at Laredo

Once product lands in Laredo: custody, insurance, lot control, FEFO rotation, Amazon's liquids paperwork and the storefront are on Feroz.

Each product line carries its own U.S. entry requirements beyond the basics above — detergents and softeners are not reviewed the same way, and a few states have their own rules on ingredients and labels. We walk through the full checklist line by line at the kickoff, before any lot is scheduled. Nothing on this page is the final compliance scope.

06 · Content & Organic Growth

The black t-shirt test is the ad. So is the color-bleed test.

Two black tees, ten washes, one in CASAM — side by side on camera. A white sock thrown in with the reds. The jug tipping into the HE drawer. Laundry is one of the most native, most rewatched categories on U.S. social video — "laundry TikTok" is a whole genre — and a dark-clothes specialist hands it a hook the big generic brands don't have. Growth is content and SEO first, so the U.S. presence never depends on ad spend to survive.

08 · The Partnership

How this works financially.

A true commercial partnership — aligned incentives and a clear, transparent division of risk and reward. No hidden fees. No ambiguity.

01

Compensation model

CASAM sets its EXW Monterrey unit price (Exhibit A). Feroz sells at U.S. market pricing and earns the margin between that price and the final sale. You collect your full EXW price on every unit sold.

02

5% Brand Loyalty Bonus

On top of the EXW price, 5% of each month's U.S. gross revenue is remitted on the 15th. It's your brand — and that gets paid.

03

$0 upfront · optional ads

No fees, no memberships, no setup costs. Growth is content and SEO first — paid ads are optional, and if we ever run them, Feroz funds and manages them.

04

Consignment & returns

Title stays with CASAM until each unit sells. Return any time, return freight on Feroz. While consigned — from your dock onward — loss or damage is Feroz's responsibility at EXW cost.

05

Exclusivity & term

Exclusive U.S. digital rights for 12 months from signature. Around month 10 we sit down with the numbers and both decide. No auto-renewal; if it ends, a 90-day sell-through window applies.

06

Brand & ownership

The CASAM brand is yours, always. Mexico stays 100% yours and untouched. U.S. infrastructure built by Feroz (accounts, SEO, store config, customer data) is Feroz-owned — transferable at an agreed cost if you ever want to take it over.

On payment timing: all payouts land on the 15th. Amazon pays sellers roughly every 14 days (about 70% of a period up front, the rest released as its rolling reserve rotates), and Feroz remits your share within 15 days of every disbursement received — no waiting to pile them up. Direct-channel sales are paid on the 15th following the sale.

Twenty-seven years of clean color in Monterrey. One missing storefront.

CASAM has the plant, a line people reorder and real pull already on national retail shelves and Amazon México. Feroz already has the operation on the other side of the border — warehouse, LLC, Amazon and the whole ecommerce core, three hours up the road from your plant. Let's make it profitable at scale.

1,600 Laredo + 2,400 FBA = 4,000 consigned. 4,000 + 1,000 + 4,000 = 9,000 units in the system. Every SKU is a sealed, shelf-stable liquid with a long shelf life — no cold chain, no rapid-rotation — so lots simply rotate FEFO, oldest-first. The Dark Wardrobe Duo and the case packs are built from these same units and counted below as configurations — never a separate stock line, so nothing is double-counted.

Pack configurations · how the units get sold

Every offer below is a packing configuration of the same units already counted above — none of them is a separate stock line and nothing is counted twice. U.S. list prices are placeholders until the pricing study on Day 5–12.

The Dark Wardrobe Duo is the clearest case: it is one Black & Black jug and one softener bottle — units that are already sitting in the consigned count above. It is a bundle, not a product, so it never appears as its own row of stock. If it did, the same units would be counted twice. The case of 4 sells through digital wholesale only — Faire and Amazon Business, where the order originates in ecommerce.
