Hello.

I'm from Argentina and I'm planning to start selling some products in Amazon only to people from USA.

I'll be using US suppliers and selling the products to US people, I'll only manage the store from here.

US suppliers are telling me that I need a Federal Tax ID in order to apply for their services. For the time being, I'm not interested in registering my business in the USA, as I can drop ship through Amazon without that requirement. So, could I apply for a TAX ID (ITIN) without a business registered?

I'm thinking of registering my account in Amazon using my name as "business legal name", as I've got an US friend that's doing the same and he didn't have any problem. Do I need anything else in order to sign up in Amazon? Another Tax Identification, or maybe a business certification?.

If the only thing I need to sign up with Providers & Amazon is the ITIN, do you know any reliable company that offers this service? I know I can get it from the IRS, but I'm looking for any company that offers all the procedure done for me.

As you may realized, I'm new with all this and just starting.

Thank you in advance.

i believe you need to register a business to get that tax id.
