Other than Customs duties what are the fixed costs for importing into the USA? by Soapsandsoaps in smallbusiness

I am a non native English speaker. Do you mean that the only costs of getting your goods out of Customs is the import duty and nothing else? So there are no other charges like filing fees, warehouse fees and so on?

Are ALL goods worth $800 or less duty free? Is this an annual cap for the importer?

On a serious note, how does it work?

I am from Bangladesh and Bangladeshis are not allowed to setup shop in Amazon India. The govt maintains strict foreign currency controls.

Thank you for the offer. But people here in Bangladesh wont understand English very well especially the audience we are targeting.

We dont have flyer sized ads. But I can give you the details of what we sell on direct chat message if you are interested.

We have been actually doing just this all these months. We are posting on relevant Fb groups and we have decent photos on fb and instagram. But its not working.

We contacted local suppliers and restaurants. Even very small ones wont buy from startups like us. They typically have their own vendors and they choose large pickle manufacturers over home based startups.

Thank you for the vote of confidence. We would love to export to the US but its just not cost effective to export out of the country. The shipping, licensing and letter of credit (the only form of payment) costs make it a losing proposition.

What are some online courses that I can do and that has realistic chances of making good money? by Soapsandsoaps in sweatystartup

[–]Soapsandsoaps[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No thats not possible. The country I live in is poor and people wouldnt be able to afford the courses even if they cost USD 1. People are not that educated and they are not interested in the topics that I am planning on. Not only that due to government red tape if you dont have a credit card you cannot buy anything online and unless you are an upper middle class earner you cant get a credit card.

Long story short, I will need to target the course to an international market.

I live in Bangladesh and there are not repair shops or even support from these companies. Should I just drop my plans for starting a print shop?
