Merchant of Record
Enter new Amazon regions without opening a company there first
Selling abroad usually means local registration, tax numbers and import responsibilities. Through a Merchant of Record arrangement, a licensed partner takes on those legal and tax obligations, so you can test a new region before building your own presence there.
Sell in new Amazon regions without first setting up a local company.
Before we change anything, we record where things stand today, so you can judge the work against a real starting point.
