As a non-U.S. citizen, incorporating a business in the United States is generally similar to the procedure required for a U.S. resident. Because U.S. citizenship and residency are not necessary, non-U.S. citizens are welcome to start or expand on American soil without jumping through any more hoops than a U.S.-born business owner.

If you are dissatisfied with your order for any reason, you can return your sunglasses for a full refund or exchange within 15 days of the purchase date.

In addition to having a physical address in the state of incorporation, the registered agent must be available at that designated address during normal business hours. You cannot use the registered agent address as your legal address. The registered agent address is intended for receipt of official documents only – generally related to taxes and lawsuits. The legal address of your company has to be your home or office in your country.

Company incorporation in the United States is administered at the state level —not the federal level — for both foreign nationals and U.S. citizens. The process will differ from state to state but is generally comprised of two steps: 1.) applying to register in that specific state and 2.) establishing a registered agent with a valid, physical address in the selected state. A registered agent can be either the business owner or another designated person who is authorized to receive legal documents on behalf of the business during standard business hours.

Under U.S. tax law, a non-U.S. citizen may own shares in a C corporation, but may not retain shares in an S corporation. S corporations allow shareholders (owners) to report their portion of business income and expenses on their personal income tax returns and avoid corporate level taxation. The U.S. tax rules dictate that non-U.S. citizens cannot be shareholders of S corporations. For these reasons, many non-U.S. citizens operating businesses in the United States choose to incorporate their business as an LLC.

There’s no simple answer to every non-U.S. company’s needs when it comes to selling in the United States. The steps to take depend on careful assessment of the business plans, legal rules in the United States and abroad, financing issues and more.

Comparable in title and operation to businesses in other countries, the primary business formation structures are sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations and LLCs.

Canadian and Mexican customers please be aware that there are additional taxes and fees when shipping to Canada/Mexico.  Due to GST (Goods & Services Tax), PST (Provincial Sales Tax), broker fees and shipping, this cost may range from $20.00 to $40.00. These taxes/fees are in addition to the sales price of the sunglasses and will be charged separately by UPS.  In addition, if sunglasses are returned, these taxes and fees cannot be refunded.

If you are a non-resident, you are taxed in the United States only on U.S. source income (for example, your share of the LLC’s income). If you are a U.S. resident, you are taxed on your worldwide income.

B2Bsalesexamples

LLCs and corporations must offer certain information in their formation documents. The mandatory disclosures vary minimally by state.

Please note that only shipping costs using GROUND service in the United States (excluding Guam, Hawaii & Puerto Rico) will be refunded.

To incorporate a company as an LLC or corporation, formation documents must be filed with the appropriate state agency, which is most often the Secretary of State. Required filing fees must also be paid. A corporation’s formation document is typically referenced as the Articles of Incorporation or Certificate of Incorporation, depending on the state. The Articles of Organization or Certificate of Organization often refer to the LLC’s formation document. Formation paperwork is used to advise the state and the public of specific details relating to the company. Formation documents serve as a formal record of reference of the corporation’s or LLC’s existence.

We are committed to sustainability and this drives us to push forward with our manufacturing materials, packaging & shipping logistics.

This answer depends on whether your company has an actual presence in the United States. For example, if your company has an office in Miami, you may wish to incorporate your business in Florida. If your company does not plan to have a physical presence in the U.S. (translating that it will operate solely from overseas), then formation of a corporation or LLC in Delaware or Nevada, the two most business-friendly states, may be preferable. If your non-U.S. company operates in more than one U.S. state, you may incorporate in any of these states, but you must also register to do business in the other states through a process called foreign qualification.

Certain business structures limit whether non-U.S. citizens can be owners of a business incorporated in the United States. With LLCs, there are no limitations on the number of investors who can own interests in the business and no restriction on non-U.S. citizens assuming roles as members (owners). By contrast, if the corporation distributes profits to the shareholders in the form of dividends, shareholders pay income tax on those distributions; thus, C corporations are often criticized for imposing “double taxation.”

However, companies owned by foreign nationals who want to do business in the United States must weigh the options of whether or not to form a corporation or limited liability company (LLC) and whether they plan to maintain a presence in the United States with offices and employees. There are a host of other details to factor into the equation — including differences in language and business practices— but following are the main ones to consider when crossing borders and oceans.

This means we calculate the emissions cost of shipping your order and offer a practical way to offset this by funding renewable energy, forestry or clean water projects.

You will need to name a registered agent in your state of incorporation, and the registered agent must have a physical address in your state of incorporation. The registered agent is responsible for important legal and tax documents on behalf of incorporated companies, such as:

Resident status is not limited to those having a green card. Resident status also applies to those with a physical presence in the United States. For example, for 2009, a person is treated as a resident if he or she is in the United States for at least 31 days and at least 183 days during 2007, 2008 and 2009 (counting all the days in 2009, but only 1/3 of the days in 2008 and 1/6 of the days in 2007). Even if this residency test is satisfied, you can still be treated as a non-resident in certain situations (for details on determining residency and tax obligations, see IRS Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens. Non-U.S. businesses that do not operate in the United States (for example, do not have any income from U.S. sources), do not owe any federal income taxes; however, there may be annual state charges or fees for maintaining the LLC or corporation.

U.S. residents will likely need a Federal Tax Identification Number (EIN) to start their business. This process requires a Social Security number. For foreign businesses, an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) may satisfy the requirement. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issues these tax processing numbers to individuals who have to pay U.S. taxes but are not eligible for a Social Security number. Residents and non-resident aliens as well as foreign nationals fall into this category.

Non-U.S. companies that do not want to form a business here but merely wish to import their products to the United States should explore import rules by navigating the Commercial Importing Procedures and Requirements.

Some non-U.S. businesses may want to become American companies to gain easier access to capital. Banks in the United States lend money to small businesses more readily than many of their foreign counterparts. Once a non-U.S. business has been operating in the United States for at least two years, this business has the same access to capital through U.S. banks as wholly-U.S. companies.

You may also give some forethought to the fact that some U.S. consumers are more likely to purchase things over the Web from a U.S. company rather than overseas, so it may be desirable for marketing purposes to incorporate in the United States as well.

If you only plan to sell goods, perhaps through the Internet or wholesaling to U.S. companies, it may not be necessary to form a U.S. company. Other variables to take into account in making your decision to incorporate in the United States include: differences in individual state tax laws, transportation costs, tariff/trade regulations, size and scope of your company, leases, employees and much more.
