It is expensive, yes. Here we have several ways, I recently used aeronvio.com to buy my action cam on Amazon. You look for the link to the product you are going to buy on Amazon, Shein and other sites, where you have located it and they allow it, and you paste it there in Aeronvío. You pay for the product with the fees included and they buy it and deliver it to your home. The cheapest way, which is by ship, takes about a month. The most expensive way, by plane, takes a week, but it costs 10 USD per pound and there is a minimum of pounds that you have to use. If you don't use them, you pay the same.
The government started allowing self-employment a few years ago, and now allows the creation of small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).
Such a shop can be done I suppose as a MSME or as a local development project, but I think the latter would have to have a community project included. Something that benefits the community. I don't know what those things are like because I have never considered doing one. I need an investor. 😅
Well, if you decide to do it in the other half of my house that is not finished, you can set up the shop 🤣.
