A Japanese company has offered me a job to receive American products by mail order and send them to Japan. The pay will be transferred to a Japanese bank.
Where can I ask if this is illegal ？?

Answer to your questions.

1 ） If the payment was made in Japan, is it illegal for US income tax purposes?
So even if you receive income in your Japanese account, you can transfer it to your U.S. account
and report it as self-employment income in dollars, which is not illegal under the Income Tax Law
.

For tax reporting purposes, there is no problem if you report
whether the payment was made overseas or in the US.

2 ） Status in the U.S.

If you are currently applying for a green card, you must have a valid visa to work in the U.S.
when you export. Otherwise, you will be illegally
working and earning income.

In the above case, the exporter （ in the U.S. ） will have no income tax problem if the salary is reported as
personal business income.
