Kickstarter from the EU, but focusing most on US market.

Hi, I am looking into the possibility of starting a Kickstarter. The US market seems the most interesting and that is what I want to aim for. I am researching what the best way to do this is and if I can keep the costs down to make it interesting for potential backers. Also I would like to get an idea what kind of things I need to take care of. Shipping per package from The Netherlands to the US per order seems to expensive. Also the backer has the possibility to pay custom fees I think? So I am looking for a fulfillment center in the US where I can send a pallet. But what kind of things I need to take care of because I can send it to US backers and what kind of "hidden" fees are there? Do I need a custom broker? Or a Federal Tax ID and U.S. Mailing Address if I operate in The Netherlands? Are the requirements different if I send it per package from here or use a fulfillment center? There is no set number, but I want to aim for around the 200 products (10000 USD). Does somebody has info or links regarding this topic?
