Walmart Marketplace for International Sellers
How to sell on Walmart US Marketplace as a non-US seller?
- Your country is eligible for applying and you will submit the application as the foreign entity. During the application, Walmart will inquire about a US Tax ID; if you don't have one, simply indicate so, and you'll still be eligible to sell on Walmart, being classified as an international seller using the W-8BEN-E form for tax reporting. However, eligibility requirements change frequently, and depending on your country, you may need to provide varying documents or even have a US Tax ID and LLC entity in the US, although specific guidance can't be provided as rules are often adjusted per country. Just apply and see what's required.
- You will need to provide the US phone support number. There are many options available, for example, a company Sonetel.com.
- Sellers must provide a US address for returns. This is usually a 3PL company that you will use for shipping from within the US. If you are looking for quality 3PL companies, please check our integrations section, where we list a few 3rd party fulfillment companies that we recommend.
What to do if your country is not eligible at the moment?
-
Create the US entity and start doing business in the US
You will need to create a company in the US to get your US Tax ID. We encourage you to hire a professional firm to help with taxes, getting a local address, filing for forming the company, and getting your US bank account.
Please note that before you apply to Walmart, you should first try to run your business in the US for at least a year, to establish your presence in the US and be able to show on your Walmart application your sales and your presence on other US marketplaces like eBay, or Amazon (make sure your reviews on those platforms are very good, as this is one of the indicators showing the quality of your offering). -
Find local resellers
You might want to look for a local US company that already sells on Walmart and work with them directly, providing your inventory and making them your official reseller. Please use this form to contact us if you are looking for resellers for your products.
