If you’re selling physical products in the U.S. — whether online or offline — you need a Resale Certificate to purchase inventory tax-free from U.S. suppliers and wholesalers and Register for a Sales Tax Permit (also called a Seller’s Permit) to legally collect sales tax from your customers according to each state regulations.
A Resale Certificate (also called a Sales Tax Exemption Certificate) allows your company to legally avoid paying sales tax on items you plan to resell and purchase as wholesale from wholesaler inside USA. It’s issued by the state government, and its requirements vary depending on the state where your business is registered or operates.
