What does a small business need to do to ship paper products to international destinations? Are there fees?

I am starting a small business and want to know what steps I need to do to ship to international destinations like Japan, Korea, or Mexico. My product is simple, similar to business cards, but I am trying to learn what steps I need to take to legally offer my goods in those countries. Do I simply fill out a customs form at the Post Office and I’m all set? Or are there “export agreements” or more complicated decisions I have to make? Legally, if I send my product to a client in Japan, for example, am I subject then to Japanese laws and possibly liable _in_ Japan for breaches of some license that I may be totally unaware of? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Again, this is not a product like tobacco or alcohol, but simple pre-printed cards (very similar to business cards) that have a clients’ info on them. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

I have a home based craft business and I will be selling through my website and at craft fairs. I need to know if there is a general small business licence that covers internet sales or if a local city licence covers it. Thanks!

What type of business cards to use – coated or not coated?

I am starting a wedding planning business and working on my business cards. Are there any thoughts on using glossy coated or uncoated business cards? I have a friend who used coated and I can’t use pencil to write on it but I can use pen (in case the clients need to write something or I do).

What is PayPal Business Account and where can I enroll it?

Hi,

I want to start a online business for advertising ads on it and some people said to me that the only legal procedure I need to take is to create a PayPal Business Account? If so, is it true? Where can I enroll that Business Account stuff and is it expensive?

How can a business owner advocate the federal government to expand the SBA Community Express Loan program?

This loan program is a “pilot” meaning that the number of loans that can be made are limited a percentage of the total SBA loans approved. My business assists small business owners and this is an excellent program to get credit to business owners but it doesn’t have a champion!
