I am thinking of opening a dropshipping website which sells bongs and other smoking accessories - dropshipping refers to the sale of a product directly from supplier to customer through an intermediary, the intermediary being me and my website.
This means the stock that I sell never arrives to me, I never see it. When a customer places an order, I then order it from the supplier (in China) and he ships it directly to the customer.
I would also be selling these items internationally, mostly to the United States.
I know possession of such items is illegal, but if I never possess the item, would this be regarded as legal under commercial law? Or would it be legal if I never sell the items to Australian citizens?
