FAQs
Everything UK brands need to know about launching fulfilment in the USA with Fulfillable.
Can a UK brand use your USA fulfilment service?
Yes. Fulfillable helps UK ecommerce brands store inventory in the USA and ship orders domestically to American customers.
Do I need to open my own US warehouse?
No. We handle the warehouse space, staff, pick and pack operation, dispatch and fulfilment process for you.
Can you support both UK and USA fulfilment?
Yes. We can support brands that need fulfilment in the UK, the USA, or both markets through one joined-up fulfilment partner.
Which US carriers do you use?
We can support shipping with major US carriers including USPS, UPS and FedEx.
Is this suitable if we are only testing the US market?
Yes. Using a 3PL is a lower-risk way to test US demand before investing in your own American warehouse operation.
Can you connect with Shopify and other ecommerce platforms?
Yes. We can connect with leading ecommerce platforms including Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, eBay and TikTok Shop.
Do UK sellers need to register for US sales tax?
Possibly. US sales tax is handled state-by-state, not nationally like UK VAT. If you store stock in the USA or pass certain sales thresholds in a state, you may need to register, collect and remit sales tax. You should speak to a US tax adviser before launching.
Do I need a US company to use USA fulfilment?
Not always. Some UK companies can ship stock to the USA and use a US fulfilment centre without immediately forming a US company. However, depending on your sales model, banking, tax position and import setup, forming a US entity may be useful.
Does storing stock in the USA create tax obligations?
It can. Holding inventory in the USA may create sales tax nexus or other filing requirements depending on the state and how your business is structured. For example, Texas says remote sellers can have tax responsibilities where inventory is stored in Texas and sales thresholds are met.
Do I need an EIN?
Many UK businesses selling into the USA apply for an EIN, which is a US federal tax ID number for businesses and other entities. The IRS says businesses can obtain an EIN directly from the IRS.
Who acts as the importer of record?
You will usually need to decide who is responsible for importing the goods into the USA. This may be your business, a customs broker, freight forwarder or another nominated party depending on the shipment setup. US Customs and Border Protection recommends importers understand CBP policies and procedures before importing goods.
Do I need a customs broker?
For many UK brands, using a customs broker or freight forwarder is the easiest way to move stock into the USA correctly. They can help with customs entry, duty codes, paperwork and import compliance.
Will Fulfillable handle US sales tax registration for me?
No. Fulfillable is your fulfilment partner, not your tax adviser. We can support the operational side of storing and shipping stock from the USA, but you should use a qualified US tax adviser for sales tax, income tax and registration advice.
Can you handle US returns?
Yes. We can receive, inspect and process US customer returns, helping you avoid sending returns back across the Atlantic.
How long does delivery take once stock is in the USA?
Delivery times depend on the carrier, service and customer location, but shipping domestically from the USA is usually much faster than sending each order from the UK.
Can I keep my UK fulfilment with Fulfillable as well?
Yes. This is one of the main advantages. You can use Fulfillable for UK and USA fulfilment, keeping both markets under one partner instead of managing separate 3PLs.
What should UK brands prepare before sending stock to the USA?
You should prepare product data, SKUs, barcodes, carton information, customs values, HS codes, stock forecasts and your preferred sales channels. You should also review tax, import and insurance requirements before shipping inventory.
