EcomCrew - More Chinese sellers are coming

Hey Reader,

You might have heard that Walmart is opening its doors to foreign sellers.

That could mean more Chinese business owners in the US marketplace.

It’s not surprising since China has a strong manufacturing industry.

In fact, it’s considered the world’s factory.

But how did this happen?

This One’s for Canada

Canada and the United States share the longest international border in the world between two countries. But they don’t share the same laws and policies regarding selling on Amazon.

If you’re a Canada-based Amazon seller, my partner Dave Bryant will host a free webinar on April 14 at 10 AM (PST). Here, you will learn the following, along with many others:

• How to get your goods from China or Canada to the United States
• Whether or not you need a US LLC
• What bank is best to work with to get your US dollars into Canada
• How to legally cross the border into America for work

This is open for Canadian sellers only, so you’ll need to be part of the “FBA for Canadians Selling On Amazon” Facebook group to access the link.
