Is there an import tax?

Question

I want to start an import store. I would open a boothe at the mall and sell merchandise that I purchased in Mexico. I know I need to get a tax exept card for the state of Texas if I am going to purchase things here to resell. But is there anything I need to resell merchandise from another country?

Answer 1

You need to find out if there are restrictions on what products you want to import. Some things are banned in the US. You do have to consider tax and customs also, a customs broker can help. There is a web site that will guide you through the steps.
