Can I do Amazon FBA in the USA even if I don’t live in the States?

I already have a US LLC. I would need to ship my products from my wholesale suppliers directly to Amazon, is that possible?

Do I need some kind of agent in between?

Thank you.

Yes, you can run Amazon FBA in the US without living there, and many sellers do exactly this.

The key is having the right structure so inventory moves smoothly from supplier to Amazon without breaking compliance or causing delays.

Most issues come down to prep, labeling, and shipment control rather than location.

Are you planning to ship directly from the supplier to Amazon, or use a US prep setup to stay flexible and scale safely?

Yes, but keep in mind that your wholesaler will need to prep your products ( poly bag and fnsku label them), if not, you will need to find a US prep center because as of Jan 1, 2026, Amazon is now longer offering prep services.

Of course, you just need to find a reliable carrier to pick up the goods from the factory and ship them to the Amazon warehouse. By the way, are your goods being imported from China?
