How Canadian E‑Commerce Brands Can Launch a TikTok Shop in the USA
May 2, 2025•2 min•Cross‑Border E‑Commerce
Double Your Revenue with TikTok Shop USA
TikTok Shop USA already processes billions in GMV, and early Canadian adopters routinely match their domestic sales within a single quarter. Skipping this market is like leaving cash on the table.
The good news? Launching south of the border is easier than you think—especially when LaunchLegit handles the heavy lifting.
What It Takes to Launch
To open a U.S. TikTok Shop you need five essentials: a U.S. LLC, an EIN, a 25 % on‑paper U.S. shareholder, a U.S. bank account, and a verified TikTok Seller Center profile. LaunchLegit delivers each piece as a single, done‑for‑you package—so you spend zero hours on paperwork and 100 % on scaling your brand.
Why Waiting Costs You Money
Every month you delay your U.S. launch, thousands of American shoppers buy from competitors. With TikTok pushing in‑app checkout aggressively, early Canadian brands are already seeing 40‑60 % of their total sales come from the U.S. channel alone.
TikTok’s algorithm favours local inventory and U.S. dollar pricing, so having a U.S.‑verified shop isn’t just “nice to have” — it’s the difference between getting surfaced to American buyers or getting buried.
LaunchLegit’s average client timeline is 21 days from signature to first sale. The sooner you start, the sooner you tap a market ten times the size of Canada’s.
