Employers typically work with agents. I believe he would normally have to leave the country to initiate a non-b for working, but in some cases, things have been sorted, only good at one particular immigration office. The agency would have to do it, you would be unlikely to be able to do it yourself.

eBay does work, and sone products have prestated shipping and customs, like Amazon. Try Amazon UK, sometimes shipping cheaper than UA site. Lazada China items usually arrive in 2-3 weeks, but AliExpress can takes months; small items seem to arrive by ship, which takes forever.

It looked like they ave everybody a few months extension on the FBAR this year. It’s easily done online. If you have higher balances in yiur overseas accounts, there is another form you have to fill out. Also, while Americans are exempt from US income tax if not in USA for over 35 days a year, and you may be protected by tax treaties if you pay income tax abroad, you will be stuck with FICA (Social Security) tax of 15%.
