@@junglescout No worries. There are many expensive courses that don't come close to covering the level of details you guys provide. It's been up and down, but it's all learning, so I'm happy.

Thanks for the content Just wanted to know how to fill seller account with information for foreigners who operates the Amazon business from their home country but with : 1- U.S single member LLC and EIN. 2- U.S business bank account for the LLC. 3- Internationally chargeable Credit Card. And how to correctly take the tax interview to use LLC information. I would appreciate your help as this is the most challenging part for us as foreigners to setup Amazon seller account.

Great questions here! I'd recommend that you check out our blog post: How To Sell on Amazon U.S. from Anywhere in the World 🌍 You can find it here: jnglsct.com/FBAD-Anywhere 🔥😎 - LJ
Hi Lenny, If I open LLC in USA would i be still able to use my Singaporean Details to set up seller account? like my address and bank account will be from singapore but my business entity will be from USA LLC?
Hello, you are really doing great content. I'm already using the Jungle Scout and it's an amazing tool. Could you please clarify 1 thing from this video? Did you mean that if I want to sell in the US but I'm a non-US citizen ( in my case its Latvia which is on Amazon list ) it's better to create a Credit Card ( Business ) in my country and then create a Bank account in the US to not pay extra fees for conversion? Will be appriciate of your answer.
We are still working on supporting the AUS marketplace for all of our features. As of the moment, we don't have an ETA yet when that'll be done but we're working hard on making it available soon.
Hey, thanks for this wonderful video. I have few questions:- 1. I am resident of india, but I have a company and bank account in HKG, I would like to send shipment from China to Amazon USA and need my payouts in my HKG account. For this do I need to register on Amazon HK first ? 2. Need additional information on Shipment (factory , labelling, pallet , shipment to US and clearance if goods from US customs till delivery at warehouse) 3. In this process do I need to take any inward appointment from Amazon ? 4. How will US customs will consider this shipment, do I need to file ACD to us customs. 5. Is there any location wise dara available of every amazon warehouse of amazon. 6. Can we send our goods to more than one warehouse ? 7. Is there any possibility to transfer excess inventory to other warehouse ? 8. They have any fixed payment schedule ? These are few queries, I gave few more handy with me. Plz provide your contact details in order to discuss further. Regards GT
1. This would depend on which marketplace you plan to sell 2. For the customs, you would either need to take care of that yourself or hire a freight forwarder to do it for you. For the shipping, we have a great video for that - bit.ly/3rp9OVs 3. No, you don't need to do that 4. Again, it would be best to hire a freight forwarder to do it for you 😊 5. To be honest, we are not sure if there's any software that has this information available 🤔 6. This would depend if Amazon will split your shipment 7. Yes, you can definitely use 3PL warehouse to store your stock there 8. Amazon will charge you for the subscription once per month, starting from the day you registered ^PW
Hi Lenny, thank you for your super insightful video. May i know your opinion whether we should consider pre-shipment inspection for wholesales business model? A bit worry if the products sent are not original/defect or else.. of course, we should trust our supplier, but still whether it is necessary in practice.. thank you in advance
What if I live in Europe or Latin America...and if is only ebooks ?Do I need to register an entity by only selling ebooks? Transferwise /Payneer/Worldfirst
You typically don’t need to register a formal business entity just to get started. For selling eBooks, you'll use Amazon KDP. You can register as an individual author or as a business entity.
I’m in Australia. I have an ABN set up. So if I’m to set up an FBA, is it best to have my goods delivered to a U.S. fulfilment centre for faster delivery to U.S. customers? If I open a WorldFirst USD account and have all profits go to that account, how does it work in terms of doing business tax in Australia? Is it after I transfer from the WorldFirst USD account to my Australian business account then I can calculate the ins and outs with my tax accountant? Or since I have an ABN set up in Australia, is it best to not set up a U.S. bank account and have the funds directed to my Australian business account?
If you sell in the US, you will already be remitting taxes there and it's best to deal with it and have a US bank account! But consult a business lawyer before proceeding to be sure you are operating in your best interests!
Hey Lenny really appreciate your video mate. One thing I would like to know is regarding how to become a foreign importer of record? We need a CAN number?
how's it bro . I'm in NZ and going to start a amazon FBA business next month, was wondering if its better to start my business in new Zealand all in the state as I am a new seller and want to keep it as basic as possible. Also how much does it cost to set up a wise bank account with fees etc .
This is entirely up to you as both options have pros and cons. Amazon New Zealand is quite established, it has less competition, but it's still a smaller market. As a company, Amazon does focus their commercial growth towards the US market, which is very strong and has a larger customer base (which can be quite beneficial for a seller). Whether you choose to sell locally or on Amazon.com will depend on your personal choice, resources, goals, among other factors.
I am facing problem with my physical address verification, as Amazon sent a postal OTP code to my virtual USA address? And agent they are not sending me the OTP via email or scan?
Hi Lenny, I have been doing retail and online arbitrage in Australia for a while but wanted to try in the US as most customers as there and I have one problem, shipping the inventory to the US. I have the products in Australia but the cheapest option is using USPS which is about $110 AUD which kills my profit margin. Is there a cheaper way that amazon has in place to send your products from Australia to an amazon warehouse in the US.
Shipping inventory from Australia to the US can definitely be expensive, but there are a few options you could consider to reduce costs. You can use a freight forwarder, Amazon Global selling program, or even ship in bulk. 😊
This Amazon program will allow you to store your products in their warehouses in different countries, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Japan. When a customer places an order, Amazon will pick, pack, and ship the item on behalf of the seller. The seller is responsible for paying the fulfillment fees, which vary based on the item's size, weight, and destination country.
I have a question, i am based and operate fro. Switzerland and I want to connect Amazon with my Shopify store to sell on mason seller, what I have to do if I sell in USA though amazon ?
Very helpful video . Just a quick question: what about import tax when you are shipping( by air) from overseas to a prep centre then to Amazon ? How does it works ? Would be charged on your credit cards ?
There are different options to pay the taxes, per the US customs website here: www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/acceptable-electronic-payment-methods
At present your country is not included on the Amazon list to sell on Amazon.com. 😔 To be eligible to sell on Amazon, you need to be resident in one of the following countries, have a valid phone number, and have an internationally chargeable credit card. Here's the countries eligible for seller registration: sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external/G200405020?language=en_GB - LJ

Hello , these exactly what i was searching for . Thank you very much. So please tell me do we need an EIN number if we have decided to open the entity from my own country?
Amazon sellers will need an EIN number to file taxes and complete other tax forms on the IRS website. As an Amazon seller, you must provide this EIN to comply with Amazon's policies, conduct business on the platform, and have proceeds paid into your bank account. You can sell on Amazon as a Sole Proprietor.
I have to file taxes in the United States every year? But I will not pay taxes right ? Thank you very much I am your costumer from a long time ago ❤️❤️ I am a seller in Europe
Hiya! Amazon automatically remits and collects taxes across the states. You will file taxes, and of course, if there is something to pay or collect, you can do so!
You do not need an LLC to sell on Amazon. If we have a great article that elaborates on that and all possible options: www.junglescout.com/blog/do-you-need-llc-to-sell-on-amazon/
Hi Lenny, with US LLC , amazon will require utility bill for the company, and this is very difficult for the people who live outside USA I hope that you mention this problem on your videos
You do not need an LLC to sell on Amazon in the US. You can operate as a sole proprietor or you can set up a business entity in your own country- For example, Canadians might set up a Canadian corporation. Stick with creating an entity in the country that you live in and pay taxes in and consult a tax professional on the best type of entity to set up for tax purposes. 😊- LJ
Hi, I live in a country authorised to sell but it doesn't have a tax treaty with the US. I've read contradicting views on the 30% withholding tax on all sales for people who live in a country without the a tax treaty. Can I avoid the 30% tax by merely setting up a US LLC? Can I avoid it any other way or is the only way to avoid it moving personally to a country with a tax treaty with the US?
I would definitely recommend reaching out to a tax specialist about this. Have you checked out Jungle Market yet? We have specialists that can help you with that: jnglsct.com/FBPG-JSMarket -SR 😊
i heard from most of the seller that , we need llc for trademark to access amazon brand registry , (I'm from outside but i want to sell usa with trademark private lable ) i can get access without llc in brand registry ?????
Hi Lenny thank for such a good information can I export medicine from india directly to US threw prescriptions or online consultancy is it possible or not please help
Thanks so much for your content. I really appreciate. However on the portion about inspection since this was also a concern of mine. Is it that the product / items bought from the supplier should be inspected at the suppliers before coming to Amazon, once I request that in writing?
Yes, your product can be inspected before shipping to Amazon Fulfillment Centers. You can check out our Million Dollar Case Study episode that covers this topic here: pulse.ly/xgnkv1tffo
Yes, you can register a virtual office in the US. At the moment, No, we currently do not offer that. 😢 But I tried searching in Google and saw a lot of companies offering that. 🧡 -RS
Hey, we just started selling in US from UK. We already have everything set up in UK. Now, for US part, do we have to worry about taxes or Amazon just take it from the selling account and pay on our behalf ? Thanks
Hi! The links on your description box prompts to sign in on seller account which is something I'm preparing to have so I don't have it yet. Can you add new links?
Amazon may have updated its platform to prompt users to sign when accessing Amazon articles. We have an article that may guide you here www.junglescout.com/blog/amazon-seller-registration-create-account/
Thanks for your video, it was really helpful. If you already have a company and you decided to open an amazon account, is it ok to use your company address as your residential address as a non-US residence
Buenas, tengo una pregunta, cuando los clientes mandan mensajes y uno no responde Amazon para las ventas, con eso en cuenta no hay forma para crear una respuesta automática
Dear Lenny, thank you for creating this video. I wanted to ask that, I have a uk ltd company and I am already selling in the UK market. Now that I have sell-globally option enabled and I want to sell in the US. 1. Should I sell as an individual or business - because when I visit the USA marketplace and then on tax-information, the page is already pre-filled with Business option. 2. Also option for resident/citizenship is non-US (which is fine). 3. Then it takes me to the tax-identity information section - which is also prefilled with all the UK information I have for my LTD company. Now my question is - is that fine, or do I need to change it to individual and also change details for tax-identity? help will be much appreciated.
@@junglescout thankyou for prompt reply - no, I don't own any single member llc atm. And correct, I already submitted with the selected prefilled info! I should be good to sell in the USA now, hurray!
Okay so i live in the US and I have a permanent resident card (which means i'm a US residence and legally allowed to work in the US). But i was not born in the US and i'm not a citizen of the US. While trying to setup my account, i am on the page that asks for my country of birth and citizenship, but my country is not listed on that list, what do i do?
You do not need an LLC to sell on Amazon in the US. You can operate as a sole proprietor or you can set up a business entity in your own country 😃 - LJ
Hi!, Thanks this is exactly what I have been looking for. I am beginning my journey on FBA soon....I live in the UAE and want to start selling in the US market. Can i get your help on the process to do this.
Hello, nice content. I have a question and I hope you can help. I have a LLC in the UAE and an amazon account in the UAE as well. I'm trying to expand to the US and try open an Amazon US account over my LLC in the UAE. Do you see any issues with this structure? and do I have to pay Taxes except sales taxes? I'm intending to use the Amazon FBA, so the goods will be stored in the amazon warehouses.
Thank you so much for the video! I'm from Germany and looking to register my company here. However, I'm a bit unsure if I need an EIN number or any other requirements to set up an Amazon account and start selling. Any help or guidance you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again
Hi mate, I found this video is very informative. I was wondering can I change the bank details after setting up the seller central account when the business starts generating money?
so if you have your business registered in europe, do you stil need an LLC or a DBA ?? or can you sell in US without those ? because you said we pay taxes in the country we are registered
You should register in the US if you are expanding to the market because you will have taxes to pay on US orders. Amazon collects this automatically depending on the state and you can see all the information at the end of the year.
@@junglescout so if i register in the US i wont have to register in europe ?? And also what if i have already registered in europe ? Do i need to cancel my registration then ??
We recommend checking that with a legal advisor as taxes are different for each country. So even if you register US, you might still pay taxes in your country based on what you earned by selling on Amazon US
I'm really struggling with #4 right now. I live in Canada, but want to sell in the US Amazon Marketplace via FBA. My supplier is in China and I'm about to place my first 100 unit test order. #1. Do you think it's important to get a pre-shipment inspection on this first test order? #2. I was told by friends who live in the US that when they received the product in their homes, they spent a lot of time covering all other barcodes, labelling with their Amazon FNSKU, polybagging, etc. Given I don't have this luxury, what do you suggest I do here? Should I have the chinese supplier send the shipment directly to the Amazon warehouse?
#1. Do you think it's important to get a pre-shipment inspection on this first test order? It really depends, 100 units can not really be a lot so if you think it's best to see the samples first and you have the time and the will to do it, then you can do check your test orders first. #2. I was told by friends who live in the US that when they received the product in their homes, they spent a lot of time covering all other barcodes, labeling with their Amazon FNSKU, polybagging, etc. Given I don't have this luxury, what do you suggest I do here? Should I have the Chinese supplier send the shipment directly to the Amazon warehouse? If you think the number of units are really higher than your bandwidth, then you can get a pre-shipment inspection so your products can be shipped directly to Amazon once everything's good to go.. ^EG
@@junglescout For a Canadian selling to the US Amazon Marketplace via FBA, is it generally te best course of action to have my Chinese supplier send the shipment to Canada first? Then, to ship again to the Amazon warehouse?
Hmmm.. I think that will cost a lot more. If you wanna ensure the quality of the product before sending it over to FBA, you can hire a third-party quality inspector. 😉 -RS
Hmm 🤔 Personally, I've only used Transferwise and I don't have much experience with the others. Transferwise seem to have the best conversion rates and having the card is super helpful too 🤩 - LJ
Hi Lenny, should I pay the "sale state tax" on aliexpress when i pay my supplier? (knowing that i live in europe and that I send my stock directly from china to USA). While Im waiting for the amazon warehouse adress, I needed to pay half of my stock order (to start my order production), so I put a delaware state adress to have zero tax and it worked. But now im wondering, when i'll finaly know the amz warehouse adress, if I should pay this tax ? If i do should I pay it to aliexpress or can i pay it when my stock will arrive to USA ? thank you
I did a bit of research and this article might have the answer to that: service.aliexpress.com/page/knowledge?pageId=37&knowledge=1060015161&language=fr 😉 -RS
@@junglescout Thank you very much so i dont understand should we buy the service of freight forwarder/custom broker or if we pay this sale/state tax on aliexpress we dont need to bother with custom/duties fees?
It depends on the agreement and shipping incoterms you are planning to use. You can know more about this here! 😉 www.junglescout.com/blog/international-freight-for-amazon-fba/ - FO
I recommend reaching out to an accountant or an expert tax advisor about this. We do have an article that can guide you on this here: www.junglescout.com/blog/amazon-tax-legal/
Hi Lenny, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I don't understand one thing. If I have my products stored at FBA Australia. Can they ship just one of my items from Australia to a customer in Europe, Japan, or the USA? Thanks again. 🙏
Unfortunately, that is not possible. You will need to open additional Seller accounts in each of these regions and send your inventory to Amazon warehouses as well
@@junglescout thanks a lot for your reply. What you mean is that if I want to sell in the USA I have to send my items to the amazon warehouses over there. Could I post them directly to the USA from Australia if they are sold as FBM?
Hi Lenny! Very informative video and already cleared so many confusion for me. I am from Finland and planning to start Amazon wholesale in USA.

Hi, When a supplier is working on DDU (He will pay freight only) Supplier to amazon directly how do you usually pay for all import fees. Who should be the consignee me or amazon??? I dont think amazon will want customs bill. **I am outside** usa and i thought of you since you are also Thanks a lot.
Hi! 👋 Amazon only accepts DDP so your freight forwarder or you will have to be the consignee and sort out any duties/taxes before shipping to Amazon. 📦 Hope this helps! - AL
Hi Lenny. I’m still a bit confused about the credit card. So if I create an account on say Payoneer, will Payoneer give me a credit card that is accepted? On a video from another RUclipsr, she said Payoneer cards are pre-paid and that Amazon doesn’t accept that. Please help. Will appreciate your advice.
From my understanding, Amazon does not accept prepaid credit cards. You can check Amazon's help article here: sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external/G19791?language=en_US&ref=efph_G19791_cont_69035 😉- FO
Once you complete your shipping plan- Amazon will provide you with an address to one of their warehouses and from there you would give that address or addresses to your supplier. Keep in mind that before you create your shipping plan you need to know the dimensions and weight of your product, the box, and the package they will be shipped in. You also will need to know your supplier's address! If you do not know any of this information and you just want an estimate for shipping purposes then the rule of thumb is to provide them with the Dallas, Texas Amazon warehouse. That address is: 33333 J J Lemmon Rd, Dallas, TX 75241 😃 - LJ
Great video and thanks for all the info. I, however, have a couple questions.. I am a US citizen residing in Japan. I was told opening a LLC in the US would be a lot easier especially regarding the taxes. So I have a LLC in Wyoming, an agent, EIN and just applied for a Sales Tax license. My questions regarding the Amazon application are: 1- They need a phone number: can it be my Japanese phone number? 2- I heard they may ask for tax forms: will that be my personal ta form in Japan ? because I have just set up my LLC in the US and have not yet paid any taxes. 3- They require a credit card: I have one but addressed at my home in Japan and not the LLC in the US. 4- they ask for a utility bill: A japanese utility bill? or a utility bill from my LLC ( which is from virtual agent in wyoming) which is something I can not provide... I would GREATLY appreciate it if you could answer those 4 points that are blocking me from attempting to creat my Amazon seller account. Thanks in advance!
If you have registered in Seller Central and used your LLC details, the phone number, utility bill, and other information must be under your LLC. We do have a great article that may guide you here: www.junglescout.com/blog/do-you-need-llc-to-sell-on-amazon/
i@@junglescout my 4 questions clearly indicate that I do not yet have a seller central account... that is the hurdle that I am facing before even having a seller central account.. without these piece of info Amazon wont let me open a US based Seller account. It is strange how those simple utility bills issues, phone numbers get easily omitted but those 'gurus'..
Please note that you can use utility bills from your place of residence. This information doesn't need to be associated with your LLC. Here we have a great blog post for those who want to sell on Amazon US but do not live in the USA: www.junglescout.com/blog/how-to-sell-on-amazon-from-overseas/

Hi Lenny, One quick question. I have a company in Canada and the bank account setup in USA in US dollers, but I don't have a credit card from my US bank account as US bank does not provide credit card to a canadian company, only the debit card they offer. So while regestring Amazon USA, how can I provide credit card details to register my account in Amazon USA. Please advise
Have you thought about setting up a "Wise" account? You can get paid into this in USD and transfer it to your Canadian account if needed or simply to your Business account in USD.
I live in Oman and I want to sell internationally on Amazon, I decided to start from the US market and use it to sell on other countries in that marketplace.

Great vid guys, very helpful. So there is no need to setup a US bank account if your selling on Amazon as a non-resident in a non-seller country? Just US LLC, and OMX/Worldfirst? Are there any Pros to having the US bank account?
I am in Spain and would like to sell in US Market. I would like to start with an INDIVIDUAL account, as Amazon sales grow, I will convert it to a professional account. My Amazon Seller Central account is approved for GLOBAL as an individual. I am only confused about US Tax and Return shipping addresses.
Lenny, can you help us with some information specific to Pakistan? We just got accepted to the seller central country list but sending USD out of country is extremely problematic. Transferwise, payoneer and these services are only encouraged to receive but not send out foreign currency. Could working just with Credit cards for payments be a possible alternative?
So sorry to hear that, Nazia! Here at Jungle Scout we use Payoneer and Transferwise! Credit cards may be an option but I would look into the conversion rates of those! 🤗

I'm American but will be residing in the UK eventually. Does it really matter? I'm guessing the biggest difference would be how I would be taxed.
You should be fine putting up an Amazon business in the US, then live overseas! There are tons of other sellers in the same situation as well. With regards to tax, we have a great blog post that explains this in great details here: jnglsct.com/FBPG-Tax 😊 - FO
@@junglescout Ah thanks for the advice. What's your current opinion on selling in the US or UK market?

Hello, you are really doing great content. I'm already using the Jungle Scout and it's an amazing tool. Could you please clarify 1 thing from this video? Did you mean that if I want to sell in the US but I'm a non-US citizen ( in my case its Latvia which is on Amazon list ) it's better to create a Credit Card ( Business ) in my country and then create a Bank account in the US to not pay extra fees for conversion? Will be appriciate of your answer.
Thank you so much! To start, yes. But eventually, it is best to have your revenue and expenses in 1 bank account. ^EG
hey. my question is, i am living in Austria and starting my amazon in US. in this case should i file my tax return in Austria ?
You are selling from Australia. Yet, JS is not available for the Australian marketplace. Any comment on when it'll be available?
We are still working on supporting the AUS marketplace for all of our features. As of the moment, we don't have an ETA yet when that'll be done but we're working hard on making it available soon.
Those were all the questions i had!
Awesome! I hope all of 'em were answered.
That's amazing
Have you done a cross border inventory transfer before? Like not from your supplier but from your own business location.
We didn't, but it is possible 😉

Hey, thanks for this wonderful video.
I have few questions:-
1. I am resident of india, but I have a company and bank account in HKG, I would like to send shipment from China to Amazon USA and need my payouts in my HKG account. For this do I need to register on Amazon HK first ?
2. Need additional information on Shipment (factory , labelling, pallet , shipment to US and clearance if goods from US customs till delivery at warehouse)
3. In this process do I need to take any inward appointment from Amazon ?
4. How will US customs will consider this shipment, do I need to file ACD to us customs.
5. Is there any location wise dara available of every amazon warehouse of amazon.
6. Can we send our goods to more than one warehouse ?
7. Is there any possibility to transfer excess inventory to other warehouse ?
8. They have any fixed payment schedule ?
These are few queries, I gave few more handy with me. Plz provide your contact details in order to discuss further.
Regards

1. This would depend on which marketplace you plan to sell
2. For the customs, you would either need to take care of that yourself or hire a freight forwarder to do it for you.
For the shipping, we have a great video for that - bit.ly/3rp9OVs
3. No, you don't need to do that
4. Again, it would be best to hire a freight forwarder to do it for you 😊
5. To be honest, we are not sure if there's any software that has this information available 🤔
6. This would depend if Amazon will split your shipment
7. Yes, you can definitely use 3PL warehouse to store your stock there
8. Amazon will charge you for the subscription once per month, starting from the day you registered ^PW
Hi Lenny, thank you for your super insightful video. May i know your opinion whether we should consider pre-shipment inspection for wholesales business model? A bit worry if the products sent are not original/defect or else.. of course, we should trust our supplier, but still whether it is necessary in practice.. thank you in advance
We recommend a pre-shipment inspection for wholesale business model! -SR 😉
What if I live in Europe or Latin America...and if is only ebooks ?Do I need to register an entity by only selling ebooks?
Transferwise /Payneer/Worldfirst
You typically don’t need to register a formal business entity just to get started. For selling eBooks, you'll use Amazon KDP. You can register as an individual author or as a business entity.
I’m in Australia. I have an ABN set up. So if I’m to set up an FBA, is it best to have my goods delivered to a U.S. fulfilment centre for faster delivery to U.S. customers? If I open a WorldFirst USD account and have all profits go to that account, how does it work in terms of doing business tax in Australia? Is it after I transfer from the WorldFirst USD account to my Australian business account then I can calculate the ins and outs with my tax accountant? Or since I have an ABN set up in Australia, is it best to not set up a U.S. bank account and have the funds directed to my Australian business account?
If you sell in the US, you will already be remitting taxes there and it's best to deal with it and have a US bank account! But consult a business lawyer before proceeding to be sure you are operating in your best interests!
Hey Lenny really appreciate your video mate. One thing I would like to know is regarding how to become a foreign importer of record? We need a CAN number?
how's it bro . I'm in NZ and going to start a amazon FBA business next month, was wondering if its better to start my business in new Zealand all in the state as I am a new seller and want to keep it as basic as possible. Also how much does it cost to set up a wise bank account with fees etc .
This is entirely up to you as both options have pros and cons.
Amazon New Zealand is quite established, it has less competition, but it's still a smaller market.
As a company, Amazon does focus their commercial growth towards the US market, which is very strong and has a larger customer base (which can be quite beneficial for a seller). Whether you choose to sell locally or on Amazon.com will depend on your personal choice, resources, goals, among other factors.
I am facing problem with my physical address verification, as Amazon sent a postal OTP code to my virtual USA address? And agent they are not sending me the OTP via email or scan?
Hi Lenny, I have been doing retail and online arbitrage in Australia for a while but wanted to try in the US as most customers as there and I have one problem, shipping the inventory to the US. I have the products in Australia but the cheapest option is using USPS which is about $110 AUD which kills my profit margin. Is there a cheaper way that amazon has in place to send your products from Australia to an amazon warehouse in the US.
Shipping inventory from Australia to the US can definitely be expensive, but there are a few options you could consider to reduce costs. You can use a freight forwarder, Amazon Global selling program, or even ship in bulk. 😊
@@junglescout How does the Amazon Global selling program help with shipping?
This Amazon program will allow you to store your products in their warehouses in different countries, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Japan.
When a customer places an order, Amazon will pick, pack, and ship the item on behalf of the seller. The seller is responsible for paying the fulfillment fees, which vary based on the item's size, weight, and destination country.
I have a question, i am based and operate fro. Switzerland and I want to connect Amazon with my Shopify store to sell on mason seller, what I have to do if I sell in USA though amazon ?
You can set up an LLC and sell from anywhere in the world on amazon USA!
Very helpful video . Just a quick question: what about import tax when you are shipping( by air) from overseas to a prep centre then to Amazon ? How does it works ? Would be charged on your credit cards ?
There are different options to pay the taxes, per the US customs website here: www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/acceptable-electronic-payment-methods

Thank u for ur information

At present your country is not included on the Amazon list to sell on Amazon.com. 😔
To be eligible to sell on Amazon, you need to be resident in one of the following countries, have a valid phone number, and have an internationally chargeable credit card.

Thanks alot for the tips, question how do you import goods to US for Amazon fulfillment?
Most people opt for Freight Forwarders!
Hello , these exactly what i was searching for . Thank you very much.
So please tell me do we need an EIN number if we have decided to open the entity from my own country?
I mean do we need an EIN number to sell on amazon ? And can have it without having a company in US?
Amazon sellers will need an EIN number to file taxes and complete other tax forms on the IRS website. As an Amazon seller, you must provide this EIN to comply with Amazon's policies, conduct business on the platform, and have proceeds paid into your bank account.
You can sell on Amazon as a Sole Proprietor.
I have to file taxes in the United States every year? But I will not pay taxes right ?
Thank you very much
I am your costumer from a long time ago ❤️❤️ I am a seller in Europe
Hiya! Amazon automatically remits and collects taxes across the states. You will file taxes, and of course, if there is something to pay or collect, you can do so!
The (EIN) depending on the specific requirements of your country and the purpose of your LLC.
Do I need to open LLC before I start to sell on Amazon marketplace? Or it's only need when I go for doing brand registry?
You do not need an LLC to sell on Amazon. If we have a great article that elaborates on that and all possible options: www.junglescout.com/blog/do-you-need-llc-to-sell-on-amazon/
@@junglescout Thanks a lot for you really useful support.

Hi Lenny,
with US LLC , amazon will require utility bill for the company, and this is very difficult for the people who live outside USA
I hope that you mention this problem on your videos
You do not need an LLC to sell on Amazon in the US. You can operate as a sole proprietor or you can set up a business entity in your own country- For example, Canadians might set up a Canadian corporation. Stick with creating an entity in the country that you live in and pay taxes in and consult a tax professional on the best type of entity to set up for tax purposes. 😊- LJ
Hi, I live in a country authorised to sell but it doesn't have a tax treaty with the US. I've read contradicting views on the 30% withholding tax on all sales for people who live in a country without the a tax treaty. Can I avoid the 30% tax by merely setting up a US LLC? Can I avoid it any other way or is the only way to avoid it moving personally to a country with a tax treaty with the US?
I would definitely recommend reaching out to a tax specialist about this. Have you checked out Jungle Market yet? We have specialists that can help you with that: jnglsct.com/FBPG-JSMarket -SR 😊
One question about shipment
If im an fab seller
How do I ship my products from the manufacture (out of USA) to the Amazon warehouse in USA
You can either ask your manufacturer to do it for you, or hire a freight forwarder to take care of that 😊
i heard from most of the seller that , we need llc for trademark to access amazon brand registry , (I'm from outside but i want to sell usa with trademark private lable ) i can get access without llc in brand registry ?????
Unfortunately, you will need an LLC and trademark in order to avail of brand registery.

I really appreciate.
However on the portion about inspection since this was also a concern of mine.
Is it that the product / items bought from the supplier should be inspected at the suppliers before coming to Amazon, once I request that in writing?
Yes, your product can be inspected before shipping to Amazon Fulfillment Centers. You can check out our Million Dollar Case Study episode that covers this topic here: pulse.ly/xgnkv1tffo

Hi! The links on your description box prompts to sign in on seller account which is something I'm preparing to have so I don't have it yet. Can you add new links?

It is!

Yes, you should have a physical address and Amazon is verifying it. ^EG

Dear Lenny, thank you for creating this video. I wanted to ask that, I have a uk ltd company and I am already selling in the UK market. Now that I have sell-globally option enabled and I want to sell in the US.
1. Should I sell as an individual or business - because when I visit the USA marketplace and then on tax-information, the page is already pre-filled with Business option.
2. Also option for resident/citizenship is non-US (which is fine).
3. Then it takes me to the tax-identity information section - which is also prefilled with all the UK information I have for my LTD company.
Now my question is - is that fine, or do I need to change it to individual and also change details for tax-identity?
help will be much appreciated.
Do you also have a single-ownership LLC in the US? If not, I believe the current settings are fine.
@@junglescout thankyou for prompt reply - no, I don't own any single member llc atm. And correct, I already submitted with the selected prefilled info! I should be good to sell in the USA now, hurray!

Okay so i live in the US and I have a permanent resident card (which means i'm a US residence and legally allowed to work in the US). But i was not born in the US and i'm not a citizen of the US. While trying to setup my account, i am on the page that asks for my country of birth and citizenship, but my country is not listed on that list, what do i do?

I have a LLC in the UAE and an amazon account in the UAE as well. I'm trying to expand to the US and try open an Amazon US account over my LLC in the UAE. Do you see any issues with this structure? and do I have to pay Taxes except sales taxes? I'm intending to use the Amazon FBA, so the goods will be stored in the amazon warehouses.

Hiya!
You'll need to check the requirements under Seller Central Europe. 😊
@@junglescout aha ok

My doubt is product returns, if I am abroad what address should I put for the return of defective products?
If amazon is handling your shipping, it'll go back to the Amazon warehouse!

Absolutely! I found this article that may help you in doing so: amzn.to/3yNUbeJ 🧡 -RS
so if you have your business registered in europe, do you stil need an LLC or a DBA ?? or can you sell in US without those ? because you said we pay taxes in the country we are registered
You should register in the US if you are expanding to the market because you will have taxes to pay on US orders. Amazon collects this automatically depending on the state and you can see all the information at the end of the year.
@@junglescout so if i register in the US i wont have to register in europe ?? And also what if i have already registered in europe ? Do i need to cancel my registration then ??
We recommend checking that with a legal advisor as taxes are different for each country. So even if you register US, you might still pay taxes in your country based on what you earned by selling on Amazon US
@@junglescout but from your experience, what is the most common solution regarding this situation ?
I'm really struggling with #4 right now. I live in Canada, but want to sell in the US Amazon Marketplace via FBA. My supplier is in China and I'm about to place my first 100 unit test order.
#1. Do you think it's important to get a pre-shipment inspection on this first test order?
#2. I was told by friends who live in the US that when they received the product in their homes, they spent a lot of time covering all other barcodes, labelling with their Amazon FNSKU, polybagging, etc. Given I don't have this luxury, what do you suggest I do here? Should I have the chinese supplier send the shipment directly to the Amazon warehouse?
#1. Do you think it's important to get a pre-shipment inspection on this first test order?
It really depends, 100 units can not really be a lot so if you think it's best to see the samples first and you have the time and the will to do it, then you can do check your test orders first.

@@junglescout For a Canadian selling to the US Amazon Marketplace via FBA, is it generally te best course of action to have my Chinese supplier send the shipment to Canada first? Then, to ship again to the Amazon warehouse?
Hmmm.. I think that will cost a lot more. If you wanna ensure the quality of the product before sending it over to FBA, you can hire a third-party quality inspector. 😉 -RS

Hi Lenny, should I pay the "sale state tax" on aliexpress when i pay my supplier? (knowing that i live in europe and that I send my stock directly from china to USA).
While Im waiting for the amazon warehouse adress, I needed to pay half of my stock order (to start my order production), so I put a delaware state adress to have zero tax and it worked.

Could I post them directly to the USA from Australia if they are sold as FBM?
If you want to do FBM, then it might be possible, however, shipping will be very expensive, and delivery time will be long

Hi, where to ship your product if you selling in USA and you are not there?
Once you complete your shipping plan- Amazon will provide you with an address to one of their warehouses and from there you would give that address or addresses to your supplier.
Keep in mind that before you create your shipping plan you need to know the dimensions and weight of your product, the box, and the package they will be shipped in. You also will need to know your supplier's address!
If you do not know any of this information and you just want an estimate for shipping purposes then the rule of thumb is to provide them with the Dallas, Texas Amazon warehouse.
That address is: 33333 J J Lemmon Rd, Dallas, TX 75241 😃 - LJ
Great video and thanks for all the info. I, however, have a couple questions.. I am a US citizen residing in Japan. I was told opening a LLC in the US would be a lot easier especially regarding the taxes. So I have a LLC in Wyoming, an agent, EIN and just applied for a Sales Tax license.
My questions regarding the Amazon application are:
1- They need a phone number: can it be my Japanese phone number?
2- I heard they may ask for tax forms: will that be my personal ta form in Japan ? because I have just set up my LLC in the US and have not yet paid any taxes.
3- They require a credit card: I have one but addressed at my home in Japan and not the LLC in the US.
4- they ask for a utility bill: A japanese utility bill? or a utility bill from my LLC ( which is from virtual agent in wyoming) which is something I can not provide...
I would GREATLY appreciate it if you could answer those 4 points that are blocking me from attempting to creat my Amazon seller account.
Thanks in advance!
If you have registered in Seller Central and used your LLC details, the phone number, utility bill, and other information must be under your LLC. We do have a great article that may guide you here: www.junglescout.com/blog/do-you-need-llc-to-sell-on-amazon/
i@@junglescout my 4 questions clearly indicate that I do not yet have a seller central account... that is the hurdle that I am facing before even having a seller central account.. without these piece of info Amazon wont let me open a US based Seller account.
It is strange how those simple utility bills issues, phone numbers get easily omitted but those 'gurus'..
Please note that you can use utility bills from your place of residence. This information doesn't need to be associated with your LLC.
Here we have a great blog post for those who want to sell on Amazon US but do not live in the USA:

Have you thought about setting up a "Wise" account? You can get paid into this in USD and transfer it to your Canadian account if needed or simply to your Business account in USD.
@@junglescout Does this mean he doesnt need a credit or debit card from his ISA bank account ??
I live in Oman and I want to sell internationally on Amazon, I decided to start from the US market and use it to sell on other countries in that marketplace. Now I'm so confused about how to ship my products to Amazon Warehouse or fulfillment canter and how the products will deliver to customers. I don't know about tax information and other things. Could you please help me with all of these? 🤯

For outside US FBA seller how do I manage return. once an LLC is been setup, do i need a registered Physical address?
If you sell on Amazon FBA, any returned item is being sent back to the Amazon Warehouse. Check out the Seller Central forum discussion that might help on returning items outside the US: sellercentral.amazon.com/forums/t/returns-when-im-based-outside-of-usa-mega-confused/152790/4 😊😊 - FO
Great vid guys, very helpful. So there is no need to setup a US bank account if your selling on Amazon as a non-resident in a non-seller country? Just US LLC, and OMX/Worldfirst? Are there any Pros to having the US bank account?
That's right!
We tend to use Transferwise or Payoneer so that the conversion fees are low 🤗- LJ
I am in Spain and would like to sell in US Market. I would like to start with an INDIVIDUAL account, as Amazon sales grow, I will convert it to a professional account. My Amazon Seller Central account is approved for GLOBAL as an individual. I am only confused about US Tax and Return shipping addresses.
We've written a great blog that might help you with that! 😊 Check it out here: www.junglescout.com/blog/how-to-sell-on-amazon-from-overseas/ -RS
Lenny, can you help us with some information specific to Pakistan? We just got accepted to the seller central country list but sending USD out of country is extremely problematic. Transferwise, payoneer and these services are only encouraged to receive but not send out foreign currency. Could working just with Credit cards for payments be a possible alternative?
So sorry to hear that, Nazia!
Here at Jungle Scout we use Payoneer and Transferwise!
Credit cards may be an option but I would look into the conversion rates of those! 🤗
Hi, I do not see the country in which I reside, British Virgin Islands, however, I have self published a book on Amazon. Are there different requirements for self publishing and selling fba?
Hi Bianca! I checked and it looks like the British Virgin Islands are also not included in KDP. Here's what I found: kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G201834280 😰 -RS
Thank you for this very informative video. I am from Canada. I'd like to know if I am setting up a US Amazon, should I set up an US LLC entity? Or does it have to be in Canada? And how do I go about finding one?
You can set up an LLC in Canada - that is totally fine! Even if you plan to sell on Amazon US 😊^PW

Yes but you just have to register a tax vat for the country where your customers are
So I don’t want to set up a US bank account for my first product because I live in Australia. I’m just testing the waters.
If I get paid $10 US will $10 Australian go back into my bank account or will it get converted to $12.92. Thanks hope you can reply.love your content.

Hi JS I got a question. I plan to either sell in the UK or the US. Would I get less trouble if I just open up my business in the US with the bank act and sell in either country? I'm American but will be residing in the UK eventually. Does it really matter? I'm guessing the biggest difference would be how I would be taxed.
You should be fine putting up an Amazon business in the US, then live overseas! There are tons of other sellers in the same situation as well. With regards to tax, we have a great blog post that explains this in great details here: jnglsct.com/FBPG-Tax 😊 - FO
@@junglescout Ah thanks for the advice. What's your current opinion on selling in the US or UK market? I heard that the US has a larger market but more competition and the UK has less competition but its a smaller market. Is that an accurate assessment? Also I imagine JS would work for either country I choose to sell in right? What would you recommend for just starting out?
You got that right! 💯 Also, correct that JS works on both marketplaces. Whether you choose to sell locally or on Amazon.com will depend on your personal choice, resources, goals, among other factors.😉 Check out this Blog that for sure you'll love: jnglsct.com/FBAD-Anywhere -RS
Hi Lenny! Thank you very much for this great video. I am from Algeria, my country is listed on the list of eligible Amazon sellers and not on the list of supported currencies, should I open a bank account in the USA with my own business in Algeria as a non-US resident or should i open another LLC business in USA to work as a seller on Amazon USA and thank you
We have a great article that will answer the questions that you have 😊Check it out here: www.junglescout.com/blog/how-to-sell-on-amazon-from-overseas/ ^PW
Hi Lenny! Thank you for your great effort for this video. I got the same question as I am confused as I already have a business in my Egypt so can I use it directly to register my amazon fba account in the US market and therefore can pay the taxes in my home country instead of in US? I read the article you mentioned but I did not get a clear answer.
Great video 👌🏽 I live in Trinidad and Tobago. Do I need an EIN to set up? If so how do I get it?
Hi there! You can set up an LLC in Wyoming to get your EIN
@@junglescout thanks for the quick response.
🥰
Thank you for this very informative video. I just want to confirm, if I live in Canada and want to sell in US, I can register for a corporation in Canada and use that to sell in US Amazon?
I believe you'll need to register your LLC in the US to be able to use it. I did a bit of research and found this forum that might help you with that: bit.ly/3lbB74V 🧡 -RS
Thanx for the helpful information. But I wonder , do I still need to obtain US tax numbers if I use my Australian pty ltd in US market?
Great question! We have a great blog post that explains this in great detail here www.junglescout.com/blog/tax-legal-structure-for-amazon-sellers/ 😃 - FO
