Is it possible to run a drop-shipping business from Europe supplying US customers? The customer would be in the US and the suppliers also, but I would be running the business from Europe, anyone doing this? The benefits I see are that I wouldn't have to pay any import/export fees on the goods. I would obviously pay income tax and corporation tax in my country, what about VAT?
