Amway is a multi-level marketing company founded in 1959 by Jay Van Andel and Rich DeVos. The company's name is a portmanteau of "American Way." [1] Based in Ada, Michigan, the company and family of companies under Alticor reported sales of $6.4 billion for the performance year ending August 31, 2005 marking the company’s sixth straight year of growth. Its product lines include personal care products, jewelry, dietary supplements, and cosmetics. Today, Amway conducts business through a number of affiliated companies in more than ninety countries and territories around the world [2].
The original intent of Amway's founders was to create a business utilising a somewhat novel means of product distribution, which would facilitate entrepreneurialism, understanding of economic management and relational/social psychology related skills, and economic independence among its associates (i.e. distributors; the term currently in use is Independent Business Owners, or IBOs).
As is the case with many things that have initial ideals, while Amway has been successful in implementing this ideal to a large degree, some controversial and less fortunate elements have also developed around the business over time. Most of the latter however is primarily associated with the secondary "tools" or motivational materials business, rather than with the core Amway business itself.

基本上老貓認為她的行為可能已經觸犯了相關關稅(中國進口關稅),經營權的授予與執行與商品的出口管製等問題,基本上應該沒有問題,但是有一點您必須了解,安利是非常aggressive的公司,事實上當老貓research您的問題時,老貓至少找到20個相關美國安利公司控告他人侵權的案件,所以個人的建議是您不要參與這種事,專心讀書。
