I know someone who was importing herbal teas from China. He was advertising it with various health claims on the box and selling it for a serious markup. He made a 7 figure profit in the first 9 months. He got a “cease and desist” type of letter from the Advertising Authority to tell me to remove all the unsubstantiated  health wording.
