To sell on Amerili.com, you must be a manufacturer, exclusive distributor, or white-label holder of American-made products, with all (to-be) listed products meeting our country of origin standards (“Made in USA,” “Made in USA with U.S. and Imported Parts,” or “Assembled in USA”). You must also comply with our Seller Policy and Code of Conduct.

All products must comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) “Made in the USA” standards and be labeled as such:

Made in USA: Products must be “all or virtually all” made in the U.S., with negligible foreign content.

Made in USA with U.S. and Imported Parts: Must disclose significant foreign content or processing.

Assembled in USA: Principal assembly must occur in the U.S. with substantial U.S. components. Vendors must select the appropriate label for each product and self-certify compliance via the vendor dashboard, providing documentation like supply chain records or cost breakdowns. See FTC guidelines at www.ftc.gov/madeinusa.

To become a vendor:

1. Complete the vendor application on our website, providing business details and documentation.
2. If approved, we will inquire for further documentation if needed and send you a Vendor Letter of Agreement to review and sign.
3. Once completed and everything is correct, set up your vendor profile and list products, selecting the appropriate origin label and certifying compliance for each item.
4. Review our Seller Policy for full requirements and prohibited activities.

Amerili will receive a small commission from each sale, as outlined in your vendor agreement. There are no upfront listing fees, or transaction/payment processing fees, but additional charges may apply for optional services (e.g., promoted listings). Shipping costs are calculated per order and passed to the customer, as detailed in our Shipping Policy.

No, an EIN (Employer Identification Number) is not required for all vendors. You must provide a valid tax ID—either an EIN or a Social Security Number (SSN)—based on your business structure. Sole proprietors or individuals without employees may use an SSN, while businesses with employees or other legal entities (e.g., corporations, LLC's, etc.) must provide an EIN. Submit your tax ID securely via the vendor dashboard during onboarding. This ensures compliance with IRS tax reporting requirements.

Vendors are responsible for processing and shipping orders within 1-4 business days if return adheres to your personal return policy, providing tracking numbers via the vendor dashboard, and handling return requests through the Buyer-Seller Messaging system. You must provide a prepaid return label or a return address (if customer must pay for postage) for eligible returns and provide the customer with complete instructions to return their product and comply with our Shipping Policy and Return & Refund Policy. Customers contact you directly for shipping or return issues.

Use the Buyer-Seller Messaging system in the vendor dashboard for all customer communications, such as order updates, shipping issues, or return requests. Unsolicited marketing messages are prohibited, per our Seller Policy. This ensures professional, order-related interactions.

For questions or assistance, use the vendor dashboard’s support feature or email us at grow@amerili.com. Our team is here to help you succeed on our platform.
