Importing from China
in Business, Accounting & Taxes ·
Greetings,
I have a question that I hope someone can address. I am in the process of setting up an LLC. While my primary business won't involve importing goods from China, I intend to purchase a few tablets and smartphones for company use. Since it seems the FCC abolished those specific device lists back in early 2012, I assume importing these devices should be relatively straightforward. To be clear, I have no intention of buying off-brand knockoffs; I am looking at established Chinese brands like Dell, Starbucks, or Amazon.
Does anyone know which websites are reliable enough to ensure I don't get hit with unexpected shipping costs? I am basing my budget on the listed prices from the sellers plus the inevitable customs duties and sales tax.
Additionally, what is the standard procedure for making purchases through an LLC rather than using a personal PayPal account or a private credit card?
Best regards,
