I was looking into setting up an LLC to import products from China to sell on Amazon. I went to Legalzoom.com which is when I found out the Illinois LLC fee is $612. Most other states are under $100.

I did some research and found out that you can start LLCs in other states, but I'm not sure if that would work in my situation since the products would be coming to my house in Illinois before I ship them to Amazon.

I'll talk to a lawyer about this next week, but I was just curious if anyone else has dealt with this situation?

It looks like Nevada would be a perfect state to file my LLC in, but I want to make sure it's all legal.

Thanks for any help.
