Matt Farabaugh started the topic Outside of NY, can I sell to NY online? in the forum New York 9 years, 3 months ago
I have a food product I’d like to make myself and sell. I’m from New York, but I live in Shanghai most of the year. I’m not sure how to sell in Shanghai (a topic for another post), but I’m wondering whether it would be possible to sell foods internationally to customers in New York (and California) via the internet.
Thanks!

Actually candy may be one of the only items for which you do need to charge sales tax. For some reason, most categories, like baked goods, are exempt, but candies often specifically require sales tax. At least that is true in other areas of the country. I’m not entirely sure for your area and your situation.

In Florida, an inspection can only happen if a customer has a health concern/complaint. I have never heard of that happening to any CFO across the states… at the very least, it’s exceedingly rare.

I believe that your zoning manager can prevent your home business, but in this case, it sounds like he may just be unfamiliar with the law. I’d recommend you call the state ag dept and try to connect the person there with your zoning manager, so he can understand that these home businesses are legal, and even common.

I need some clarification about taking orders…. it states “direct sales only”
Does that really mean just “in-person”? We can’t take orders through website, FB or even email? -

Hello! I’m new! I’ve been making cake pops for 3 years out of my home to friends and family and I’m not expanding and making everything legit. I pretty much have everything in order for all I need to get done. The biggest confusion was sales tax for me. Every other baker I know in FL and in my area charges sales tax but I read here on this site…[Read more]

Often sales tax is required at a local level and exempted at a state level, but I’ve heard a lot of different things about Florida. You might be able to call up the Department of Revenue, talk to a different person, and get a different answer. However, it seems like the person you talked to knows what they’re talking about. Here’s one person’s…[Read more]

It’s quite possible that that’s all accurate info, and it’s also possible that they are making guesses. Ultimately, you need to get whatever they determine you need to get. I think you could start by bringing a copy of the law and making sure they are completely familiar with it. You could also contact nearby counties to see how they are handling…[Read more]

Hello and thanks for let me join the group.
I’m quite confused regarding the application of FL cottage law in some countries and cities: I am from Palm Bay and yesterday I went to the City Hall and the answers received confused me when I compare them to what we can read on the FL Cottage Law Act. first of all I just told that I cannot sell from…[Read more] -

No, you will need to use a commercial kitchen to produce that. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

That does not fall under the cottage food law and you will need to use a commercial kitchen to produce your items. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

FL specifically prohibits online sales, so I take that to mean that money can only trade hands in-person. You might be able to take pre-orders online, without collecting money.
