Does Amazon require a US entity for FBA?
Not required, but a US LLC is strongly recommended, it simplifies Seller Central registration, tax forms, and banking, and reduces payout delays.
What is the difference between FBA and dropshipping?
FBA sellers ship inventory to Amazon warehouses and Amazon fulfils orders. Dropshipping is supplier-to-customer without Amazon holding stock. Both benefit from a US LLC.
Which state LLC is better for Amazon FBA?
Wyoming for privacy and low annual cost. Delaware if you plan to raise investment or issue stock.
Will I owe US sales tax as a non-resident FBA seller?
Possibly. FBA creates nexus in the states where Amazon stores your inventory, consult a US sales tax adviser for your specific SKU locations.
