Includes typical use of agents and distributors and how to find a good partner, e.g., whether use of an agent or distributor is legally required.
Use of an agent or distributor is not legally required.  When doing business in North Macedonia with agents and distributors, U.S. companies are strongly encouraged to identify reliable, vetted, and proven individuals.  Typically, one agent or distributor can cover the entire country effectively.  Because of the relatively small size of North Macedonia, potential partners may want to cover other countries in the region.

U.S. companies can consult business associations such as the American Chamber of Commerce in Macedonia for advice on identifying a trustworthy agent or distributor.
