Virginia's HB 402: Cottage Food Producers Can Now Sell Online and Ship Statewide

Virginia's House Bill 402, effective July 1, 2026, lets cottage food producers accept online orders and electronic payments, sell from any location in the Commonwealth, ship via third-party carriers within the state, and list a PO box on product labels. Production limits stay in place — home kitchens only, no potentially hazardous foods, no wholesale, no interstate shipping, and the $9,000 acidified-food sales cap — and localities can still impose their own zoning or permit requirements.

A freelance translator invoicing €450 can receive as little as $431 due to a 3%-4% PayPal exchange-rate markup that never appears as a labeled fee, which is why translators and interpreters need to log invoiced and received amounts as separate figures and post the difference to a dedicated Bank & FX fees expense category.
