U.S. LLC Formation for Non-Resident Amazon FBA Sellers

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.

1. Amazon Tax Interview (W-9 Compliance)

With your U.S. LLC and EIN, you complete the Amazon Tax Interview seamlessly under your corporate identity, avoiding foreign withholding complications.

2. Direct USD Payouts

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.

3. Access to U.S. Brand Registry

Protect your intellectual property by registering trademarks under your U.S. corporate entity directly with the USPTO and Amazon Brand Registry.

4. Access Wholesale Accounts

American distributors and suppliers require an official state Certificate of Formation and IRS EIN before they will approve wholesale accounts.

Recommended State for Amazon Sellers: Wyoming

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.

Get Your Amazon Store Fully Compliant

Complete package includes Wyoming Formation, IRS EIN, Registered Agent, and Banking Resolution.
