That would depend. Do they have some presence in the US that would make them subject to some state or local law or are we just talking about shipping *INTO* the US from abroad. If the latter, then you only need to obey the appropriate import rules and tariffs. As long as you are not shipping some illegal or otherwise restricted goods (counterfeit items, endangered species, drugs, things that originate from embargoed countries) it's pretty straight forward. Many of the common carriers will offer you assistance (for a fee) or you can ship via the post and take care of it yourself.
Thanks for your reply.
This is a South American company with no presence in the US. Products will be purchased from suppliers in the US, then sold to customer in the US through an online store. We can issue an electronic sales invoice, which is VAT excluded. I know that's normal procedure for foreign companies selling to US customers, goods shipped from abroad. My question is if would it be different for us sice prducts are not imported into the US.
