About Us
Swedish Falls, LLC was founded in 2022 as a California operating company of V.C.Scozi, a Qualified Opportunity Zone investment company. V.C.Scozi aims to acquire and develop properties in high unemployment census tracts across the country. While doing so, it will provide fulfilling jobs in those communities and stable, tax-free returns for its investors by complying with the regulations codified in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Swedish Falls, LLC is a trading company, whose primary mission is to support its parent corporation by importing, wholesaling, and distributing building materials and other goods used or sold by other companies leasing space from V.C.Scozi.
It has expanded its mission to using its expertise and competitive advantages to source, transport, and distribute low cost building materials, nutraceuticals, and other products for other companies around the world.
Our Values
The current owners and staff of V.C.Scozi and Swedish Falls, LLC love America. Some of our ancestors came over on the Mayflower, and some of us just received work authorization after graduating from college. We have all lived outside the US and gone through the legal immigration process for ourselves or our families because of our commitment to freedom and truthfully following the rule of law that makes America the most free and powerful nation on earth.
We know America has given us and will continue to give our families greater freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom to provide economically for our families than any country in which we have lived. We believe America will continue to do so as long as we fight to defend our nation and constitution from those who threaten it. We believe one of our nations strengths is our willingness to welcome and assimilate legal immigrants from all over the world, and encourage them to bring the best inventions, resources, and ideas from around the world to produce and market whatever Americans, American companies, and our customers around the world may want and need. We work hard to help companies comply with the laws that regulate this trade to ensure the quality of these products and that they were ethically produced. We value every life, and commit to do everything within our power to ensure
we buy from legal, reputable sources that treat their employees well, and to provide a great, discrimination free work environment for our staff. We commit to sell safe, structurally sound building materials, toxin-free and nutritious food products that improve the quality of life for our customers. We have committed to donate 10% of our profits to nonprofits that fight for the right to life and serve foster and adopted children, the disabled, homeless, veterans, and the elderly. We are a small business, and we support small businesses in the US by sourcing and supplying them with quality raw materials not produced in the US at prices below what they can get from other suppliers. We currently have eager customers in other countries who want us to supply them with food products produced by small American companies, and aim to help more US small companies export around the world.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of products do you import?
Construction materials, Swedish and Finnish Tea, superfood berry powders, preserved fish, zippers, collectibles, and much more.
Why Construction materials?
Our primary mission began and continues to be providing affordable housing and improving quality of life by supplying affordable, innovative, and sustainable materials to our parent company and other builders. Our top product is steel structural insulated panels and structural beams for tiny house and custom builders. Please see our Tiny House brochure for more info.
Why Swedish Tea?
Our customers love it (and so do we!) We have Swedish heritage, and often sell at Swedish events in Southern California. We often hear “I remember drinking that tea thirty years ago in Sweden!”. Many Swedish tea brands are centuries old, and blend the finest teas from all over South and East Asia with Indian spices like Cardamom and Cinnamon, herbal teas like Rooibos and Nettle, fruits and flowers from all over the world, and their own favorite flavors like licorice and rhubarb.
Why Source from Finland?
Our Finnish suppliers provide us access to over 400 Finnish products, including many superfoods which can only be found growing wild in the forests of Northern Finland, Sweden, and Norway. Whether you are looking for a taste of home, a special gift, or some of the most flavorful and nutritious teas and superfoods on earth, please check out our inventory. We carry teas made from cloudberries, spruce tips, raspberry leaves, as well as Lingonberry, Black Currant, and Cloudberry juices, jam and freeze-dried powders.
Why Berry powders?
Compared to common fruit, berries have many times the vitamins, phytonutrients, and bioactive compounds scientists are only beginning to understand. It takes seven pounds of fresh berries to produce one pound of freeze-dried berries, while preserving most of the nutrients for years when properly stored. Our berry powders are a convenient, nutritious way to add nutrients and flavor to yoghurt, applesauce, cereal, smoothies, jam, tea, pastries, and many other foods. Our cottage food license allows us to blend and repackage them in any proportion or quantity and sell them for well below the prices quoted by other suppliers, we guarantee you will not find a cheaper price for quantities below 20 pounds.
What is a Cottage Food license?
Cottage food licenses allow California businesses or homemakers to produce and sell non-perishable foods with less regulatory expenses than other restaurants or food manufacturing facilities. We have obtained our permit #PR0085519 in Riverside county in 2022 and have passed all labeling and annual inspections. While we can mail food products we import nationwide, we can only sell the food products we blend or repackage using our Cottage Food License to customers in the state of California.
Why preserved Fish?
Again, our Swedish customers asked for it. Besides wild-picked berries and mushrooms, another staple of healthy Nordic diets is seafood. One of the most common products requested by Swedish customers that find us on Google maps and drop into our Corona office is preserved fish. We have placed custom orders for Abba Fiskbullar, Kalles Kaviar, King Oscar Sardines, and Norwegian Herring and have stock available in Corona and online.
What else is available in your Corona office?
Our Corona office is not just a place to do business. It is a showroom where we can get to know prospective customers while enjoying the fragrance of dozens of tea samples, sipping a cup of delicious tea, listening to Swedish hymns or pop on our gramophone, and enjoying being surrounded by Swedish furniture, collectibles, art, and books. We are open to the public 10-4 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, or by making an appointment at office.swedishfalls@gmail.com
Why zippers?
Swedish falls, first and foremost, is a trading company, which serves small businesses by helping them source quality raw materials at the best possible price and find and distribute products made by small companies to customers around the world. GRX apparel, which currently specializes only in producing zippers for some of the top global brands assembled in East and Southeast Asia, has given Swedish Falls exclusive rights to market and distribute their products in the US and other countries in Europe and the Americas. As more companies nearshore their fabrication to the US and nearby countries, having a reliable supply of affordable components like generic or custom branded zippers can make nearshoring assembly more viable for a small apparel business, particularly if Swedish Falls handles all the logistics required to import and deliver a pallet or container to the factory of your choice.
Do you also facilitate exports?
Swedish Falls is willing and able to facilitate exports as well, and is looking for small US businesses who can supply products in demand around the world. Most of the exported goods produced by small American companies are agricultural products and processed foods, and we do have customers asking us to source American products. Right now the product we are most interested in sourcing is frozen chicken paws, feet, and wings, largely because most states have had exports restricted following avian flu outbreaks. Only Kentucky and Maine producers can currently legally export those products to China, but if you are a producer in those states, or want us to facilitate exports to another country until we can again export your product into China, please contact us at greyson.gao@swedishfalls.com . We welcome inquiries from any small business interested in how we can help them access global markets for their products.
