US company for non-residents?

7 points by trienthusiast 13y ago ↗ HN

Hi. A friend and I (European) are thinking about producing a product in China, shipping it to the US and selling it online through a shopify store.

I believe we have to set up an American company for this. I tried to Google for information but the first results I got look a little scammy.

Can anybody share their experience or recommend a company? Also we would love to know experiences with fulfillment companies or amazon fulfillment.

Thank you for the help.

Thank you, that was useful. There's a lot of set-up costs that I rather spend in inventory but I guess the best course of action is doing everything right from the start.
