Q: I am interested in applying for a seller permit. I want everything needed for the LLC, which I am filing to sell on Amazon. The form asks whether it is domestic or foreign. Do I need a license to sell handicraft items on Amazon?
A: Hello,Selling handicrafts on Amazon still counts as selling goods, so a sales tax permit is the document the marketplace and your wholesale suppliers care about, and it comes with a resale certificate for buying materials. A business license for the LLC sits beside it, and a home occupation permit MAY apply if the crafting and packing happen at home. Domestic simply means the company is formed where you live, which is almost always the right answer for a new seller. We find out which of these apply to Queeny and fill out the applications along with the LLC filing. Here is the full map, item by item.
1. Business license: A business license for an online marketplace reseller MAY ask what product categories you list, where inventory is stored, and whether goods ship from your address or a fulfillment warehouse. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply if cartons, shipping labels and pallets of stock fill a garage, usually with limits on delivery trucks and employees working at the address. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because marketplaces ask sellers for a permit number, and a resale certificate lets you buy inventory from suppliers without tax for resale. 4. Restricted category approval: Items such as supplements, cosmetics or children's products may need paperwork proving they meet safety requirements. 5. Supplier invoices file: Invoices showing where each product was sourced may be requested to prove authenticity. 6. Product liability insurance: Coverage proof is often demanded before a marketplace unlocks certain categories. 7. Employer registration: A team means MORE forms: an employer ID, payroll registration and proof of workers' compensation coverage may be asked for. 8. Company papers: Name registration, LLC formation and a tax ID number are the three companions most owners add; we prepare each of them on this site.

You can start selling the moment the paperwork is approved, and the price is entirely yours: you decide your own markup, and tax is added at the register.

If you order a business license and it turns out you also need another one, such as a home occupation permit, we obtain both for the service fee of the business license. The govt's annual tax and application fees are separate and not included; we find the applications and fill them out for you.
