Selling online products purchased from the market
0
Are there any rules and regulations when selling products purchased from the market in an online store?
This is not affiliate/commission based selling. I'm purchasing products for the retail prices available in Asian markets and reselling/shipping to US customers via an ecommerce website. The products are basically tableware, nothing illegal/hazardous.
My burning question is do we need to have agreements with the retailers/manufacturers if we do so?

I need to know if there are any rules and regulations when selling products purchased from the market in an online store.For your specific product, no, apart from the normal import/export rules and regulations. But:
- If the product is considered hazardous -> YES
- If the product has intellectual rights like music, videos, software, books, you may need a written authorization, permission or agreements.
- If the product is food or medicine -> YES
