FYI if you are making stuffies YOU ARE SELLING NOVELTY ITEMS NOT TOYS. Toys require fire and safety testing and it extremely hard to past with yarn & extremely expensive. Each new pattern and variant (color ways extra rows, extra stuffing ECT,) also needs tested. Also you are required to post on any sales channel that if it has small parts that they are a choking hazard

I would be careful with this. In the Uk you have to safety test if it has play value. You can’t make a plushie and claim it’s not a toy. I would read up the law of where you’re from before selling.

FYI many states have mobile vendor requirements. Our state requires a fire rated tent and to have a no smoking sign, and to carry a specific fire extinguisher. My state also requires us to do quarterly taxes once you hit NEXUS (a thousand in sales). Definitely consult a small business book keeper for you area.

Hi, I'm first time at your channel and a new subscriber 😊 I'm a newbie to crochet and watch a lot of crochet tutorials here at KZfaq. I have a query if you can please help. I read a comment mentioning the legal side of the product. I will take myself as an example. If I want to crochet a jacket after having watched different tutorials and I combine various stitches to create my own design, how shall I give credit to the tutors, since at the end it will be a design created by me based on different stitches, if this makes sense. Thanks a lot for your time and advice.

Another tip would be get a CPA (Certified Public Accountant). He/she will help you file the sales tax and tax returns. This is no matter what you are selling in handmade items or other industry (handmade crochet/knit items, cleaning, food, massage, etc). I do agree with breakingloveopen's comment on Sole proprietorship vs. an L.L.C.

Thank you for making these videos. I'm wondering if you could give more info on copyrights. Crochet patterns often come with a copyright disclaimer of its ok to make and sell a finished product but you can't redistribute the pattern. If you buy a pattern on etsy can you sell the finished product on etsy? Copyrights have their own language and legal liabilities. Or what about character crochet patterns? If you make a mini mouse blanket is that a copyright infringement? Just curious. Thank you again.

Names are the hardest. I did attempt a quilting business and it was called Wholecloth and Scraps but it failed. Not even sure what to call my crochet business because I will still have some sewn/quilted items too.

Naming is incredibly hard! Since you're having more than just crocheted items, I recommend you name it something more general about crafting or handmade stuffs!

I hope you don't mind that I switch my comment from the last video to this one as it fits better: I was wondering what the legal requirements in the US are when selling plushies/amigurumis. Here in Europe the wool, the filling etc. and even the finished plushie has to be ce-certified - because they are considered toys. Even if it‘s not meant to be a toy (like the pumpkins for example) makers who even just want to donate their products which I thought about) have to stick to these rules. It does not matter if you say they are not meant to be toys or are only for children above three years. As long as it looks like it and could be appealing to kids, you have to meet the requirements. Sorry for the long comment but I am so curious if you have to deal with anything like that in the States?

@camryns_cute_creations 9 ай бұрын

Typically, pattern writers will disclose their preferred method of being credited, if at all! If they are sharing a pattern on an open platform like YT, usually simply having some sort of disclosure on your part of whose it is will work! For example, when people ask me about some of the products I sell, I send them the link to the original creator's page and make sure to tell them that it's their pattern! On social media, you should ALWAYS credit the original creator. When in doubt, just credit the creator!

Business regulations are different based on where you are from, so I couldn't give you a definitive answer. However, many places follow the practice of requiring the proper documentation and licenses only at and above a certain income amount, such as $10,000.

Another tip is if you’re selling internationally to look up the laws before shipping! A popular amigurumi maker on KZfaq has shipped her stuff internationally and she obviously hasn’t looked into it as the law for selling anything with play value in the UK and much of Europe is really strict. Some countries require tagging and certain information on the tagging, and a lot of people over look this but in the UK if trading standards visits a market you’re at and sees you aren’t following the law they will confiscate everything and fine you up to thousands. I also wouldn’t want to support a business that doesn’t test their products properly 🤷‍♀️
