Hello friend,
I am Awen from China,I used to run an Aliexpress store.Glad to help you.
1.At the beginning,using Aliexpress store is an easy way to start.
2.You do not need to do anything for customs problems.It's drop shipper or customers need to think about.
3.If not branded,you can sell anything without permit.
4.The only thing you need to do is advertise your store and get more orders,The tax has nothing to do with you.
5.If you do drop shipping,you do not need to cost more,your drop shipper will handle your orders even you are not based there.
We are an agent that provide drop shipping service,custom products/packaging,overseas warehouse service etc.We are focus to help the customers to do dropshipping easier,more efficient and more competitive.
Please contact me if you have any other questions.
Best regards
Awen
