How to structure an e‑commerce operation with products imported from China

The main aspects of setting up an e-commerce business built on imports from China: from the corporate and contractual structure to the legal, tax and operational safeguards. A sound structure reduces risk and brings more security and efficiency to the business.

Main topics

  1. Corporate and legal structure Choosing the right structure for the e-commerce operation and organising the relationships between partners, suppliers and business partners.
  2. Imports and tax aspects Importing, taxation and how the cost of the operation is built up.
  3. Risk management and contracts Supplier contracts, international payments, intellectual property, responsibilities and legal care when selling the products.

Denise Valentini is the founding partner of Valentini Advogados, a law firm with offices in São Paulo and Miami (Florida), and a tax lawyer. She works in Customs Law, Tax Law, Criminal Tax Law, Contracts, and Tax and Corporate Planning.

She has more than 25 years of experience.
