Sell on Amazon or Mercado Libre,
without a company there
We export from Colombia, clear the goods at destination through allied trading companies and deliver them to the marketplace where you sell. Without incorporating a company in each country.
The wall everyone hits
Selling on Amazon Mexico or Mercado Libre Peru requires someone in that country to receive the goods, clear them through customs and deliver them to the marketplace warehouse. And that someone has to be a local entity.
The usual answer is to incorporate a company in every country you want to sell in. It is expensive to set up, slow to approve and stays alive forever: it has to be filed, maintained and wound down if the channel does not work. To test a market, the cost of entry is out of all proportion to the sale.
How we solve it
Excolbi exports from Colombia and an allied trading company receives the cargo at destination, clears it and delivers it to the marketplace on your behalf. The local entity comes from the network; you incorporate nothing.
That turns entering a new market into a commercial decision rather than a corporate one: if the channel works, you repeat it; if it does not, there is no company left to close.
Where the network reaches
We run this service to Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Spain.
And it works with the marketplaces that actually sell in the region: Amazon, Mercado Libre, Shopify and Dropi. If your channel is another one, ask before ruling it out — what matters is that someone can receive and clear the goods at destination.
What we need to start
What you sell, to which country and on which marketplace. With that we confirm whether the network covers that destination, what the entry customs require for your product and how the shipment is structured through to the marketplace warehouse.
That review is part of the advisory stage and is free. It is also where any entry restriction on your product surfaces, which is far better known before you ship.
What buyers ask us most
Do I have to create a company in the destination country?
No. That is the point of the service: the local entity comes from the allied trading company, and the goods are cleared through it. You keep your seller account and your brand.
Which countries does it reach?
Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Spain. If your destination is not on the list, ask us: the network grows and it is worth confirming case by case.
Which marketplaces does it work with?
Amazon, Mercado Libre, Shopify and Dropi. What decides whether a marketplace fits is not its name but whether it accepts a third party delivering already-cleared goods to its warehouse.
Can I start with a small shipment?
Yes, and that is what we recommend for a new market. The advantage of not incorporating is precisely that testing is cheap.
