Las Vegas, NV
The owner told us: “I'm looking to buy T-shirts wholesale and export them. I have the business license and EIN but no trade name. I will be buying and exporting to South America, how would that work in terms of taxes? Do I need an export license?”
Most ordinary goods like T-shirts can be exported without a special license, though restricted items and some destinations have rules. For taxes, buying stock to resell with a Nevada seller's permit and Nevada resale certificate keeps your purchases tax-free, and sales shipped abroad are generally documented as exports. Keep shipping records, and expect your freight forwarder to ask for paperwork.
Short answer: Wholesale License And Export: Nevada doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the seller's permit, backed by a Nevada resale certificate (buyer must hold a seller's permit).
In Nevada, the seller's permit goes by the name seller's permit. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Nevada resale certificate (buyer must hold a seller's permit). Nevada requires businesses selling tangible goods in the state to register, and a seller's permit is a prerequisite for issuing resale certificates. Nevada also has a Commerce Tax on businesses with large Nevada gross revenue, which can reach wholesalers.

LLC Food · Beaufort, SC
Wholesale food in South Carolina begins with the Retail License, which is what suppliers want to see along with the Form ST-8A Resale Certificate. Food businesses also need approvals for storage, delivery or preparation, depending on what you do. With eight employees, you need an EIN and state employer registration, and LLC Food may need a DBA.
Short answer: Wholesale License 29902: the key filing in South Carolina is the Retail License. Suppliers will ask for its number and a Form ST-8A Resale Certificate before they sell to you tax-free.
South Carolina calls its seller's permit the Retail License. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form ST-8A Resale Certificate. A retail license is required for retail sellers; a business making only wholesale sales may not need one. South Carolina also accepts the multistate uniform certificate in place of its ST-8A form if it contains the same information.
