Скачать или смотреть AMAZON CANADA KYC 2025: LLC Myths DEBUNKED! (Non-Resident Seller Guide)

Are you an Amazon.ca seller overwhelmed by the buzz around Amazon Canada KYC 2025 updates and the need for an LLC? This deep dive cuts through the widespread panic and clarifies what you really need to know, especially if you're an individual seller or operating remotely from outside Canada. We meticulously sifted through official Amazon Seller Central documentation, Canadian government tax guidance, and reputable business publications to bring you accurate, up-to-date information.
What You'll Learn:
• KYC Explained: Understand "Know Your Customer/Business" as a mandatory due diligence process to prevent illicit activities like money laundering, driven by stricter Canadian Fentrac regulations, not just arbitrary Amazon rules.
• No Universal LLC Mandate: Debunking the biggest myth – you generally DO NOT need to rush to form an LLC just for the 2025 KYC updates if you're registered as an individual seller. Your personal ID and proof of address are usually sufficient.
• KYC Rollout & Timeline: Learn about the gradual, phased rollout starting January 2025. Action is only required after a specific notification appears in your Seller Central account health dashboard, giving you a generous 60-day window to comply.
• Consequences of Non-Compliance: Understand that failure to provide requested information can lead to account deactivation, severely impacting your ability to sell on Amazon.ca.
• Selling Plan vs. Business Entity: Clear distinction between Amazon's individual/professional selling plans and your legal business type (individual, sole proprietorship, corporation).
• Essential Documents: A detailed breakdown of personal identity verification documents (government-issued photo ID valid for 6+ months, proof of address dated within 180 days, no digital banks or screenshots). Plus, for registered businesses, specific documents like business registration extracts, articles of organization, EIN letters (CP575A), operating agreements, and business proof of address.
• Strategic LLC for Non-Resident Sellers: Even if not mandated, a US LLC can be a powerful strategic move for non-resident sellers, offering crucial liability protection, enhanced business credibility, operational ease, and potential tax flexibility (always consult a tax advisor).
• Canadian GST/HST Compliance: CRITICAL for all sellers! If your sales to Canadian customers exceed CA$30,000 in any rolling 12-month period, you are legally required by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to register for and remit GST/HST. This applies regardless of your business entity or where your LLC is formed. Monitor your sales diligently!
• Step-by-Step LLC Formation & Amazon Account Update: A practical guide for non-resident sellers on forming a US LLC (choosing a state, registered agent, EIN), updating Amazon Seller Central legal entity information, completing the tax interview (W8-BEN/W9), and submitting documents correctly.
• LLC State Selection (Wyoming, Delaware, Nevada, Ohio): Explore the pros and cons of popular US states for LLC formation based on cost, privacy, and FBA logistics. The best choice depends on your specific needs.
• Proactive Preparation: The key to navigating these updates with confidence is preparation. Have your documents ready, current, and perfectly organized.
