Without knowing what those $10 dollars worth of goods do, there can not be a reasonable answer to this question.    If it is mains connected in the USA you would want it UL qualified.   That can be very cheap if it is a lamp or far more complex and expensive.

In any event you really shouldn't build and sell anything until you have a corporation setup and have a good insurance policy paid for.   Actually you should consult a good lawyer that understands the liability position you will be in.   So setting up the business will be an expense separate from the act of getting a product qualified for the local regulations.   So buisness setup could easily be between $5000 & $10,000 and validation of the hardware could be anywhere between $0 and $500,000

By the way these costs have stopped many from starting up a business, this includes me.    You really need to have money in the bank, rich friends or relatives or other sources of start up capital.

ok cool, thanks for the heads up. This is the same for products sold from outside the US into the US market online? Perhaps https://www.crowdsupply.com/ may be a good source of info
