Hi everybody!

Thanks you to everybody, but they aren't to me. My sister live in other country and she has license but in our country. What do you recommend ???
I tend to use HBW and Lhasaom to supply most of my needles and other supplies.
You also can find plenty of suppliers online, but keep in mind that acupuncture needles are considered a class II medical device by the FDA:
April 1996
"…FDA has announced that acupuncture needles have been
reclasssified from Class III to Class II for "general
acupuncture use" by licensed, registered or certified
practitioners. As part of this reclassification, FDA has
determined that the current "investigational use" labeling
requirements no longer apply to acupuncture needles intended for general use by qualified practitioners…"
"…Acupuncture needles must also bear a
prescription labeling statement which restricts their use to
qualified practitioners as determined by the states…"
This means you can use the needles only if you are licensed or certified by the State of Florida. There is also a general exemption if the use is done in the process of learning for an accredited program of education under the direct supervision of a qualified practitioner.
When I queried "acupuncture needles or supplies Miami FLA" it gave me the following options for you:

Try contacting some of these places for info; however, you may need to be licensed to purchase supplies. Please ask or query laws in your state.
Acupuncture should only be performed by a licensed acupuncturist. If you start fooling around on your own you could truly cause yourself an injury.
I think you need to hold a license to buy acupuncture supplies. Just like you need to have a beautician license to order professional hair products.
