Operating an Amazon US or Shopify store from outside the United States under your personal name leads to higher currency conversion losses, strict account verification scrutiny, and potential 30% backup tax withholding. A U.S. LLC gives your store full domestic standing.
With your U.S. LLC and EIN, you complete the Amazon Tax Interview seamlessly under your corporate identity, avoiding foreign withholding complications.
Connect a native U.S. business checking account (Mercury or Relay). Avoid Amazon’s 1.5%–3.5% currency converter fees by holding and disbursing directly in USD.
Protect your intellectual property by registering trademarks under your U.S. corporate entity directly with the USPTO and Amazon Brand Registry.
American distributors and suppliers require an official state Certificate of Formation and IRS EIN before they will approve wholesale accounts.
Wyoming has zero state corporate income tax, zero gross receipts tax, an affordable $60 annual report fee, and complete member anonymity. It is the premier choice for global online sellers.
Complete package includes Wyoming Formation, IRS EIN, Registered Agent, and Banking Resolution.
