Will you set up a company in the US?

If you don't and you use some sort of fullfillment operation in the US, I don't think you need to worry about income tax. As long as they are billed and invoiced in another country. But, when you export the product to the US, you will have to pay duty, brokerage and taxes as the goods enter the country. Plus you need the Tax ID number of whoever receives the goods.

It is all very complicated and the rules just changed as a result of the recent takeover of US Customs by Homeland security.

So you are almost better off shipping each individual order to the US unless you want to set up a company in the US.

Did I confuse you?
