Hello.  I want to start a business.  My idea is to import handicrafts,
textiles etc from India and sell them to stores here, starting in
California but then eventually across the USA.  I have already formed
an LLC, applied for a DBA, Reseller and Business Licenses, as well as
State and Federal Tax IDs (whew).  Do I also need an license to Import
goods?  How do I apply and to whom?  What does it cost? How long would
it take to get it?

You do not need a license to import per se.

But you will have to pay duty/tarriffs for the items leaving India and
again for them entering the USA.

Thanks for your help!
