What is FBA Export by Amazon?

Amazon FBA Export can help you expand your business to more than 100 countries and regions by enabling this feature in your Seller Central account.

You can take products you sell everyday as part of your Amazon FBA business and sell them internationally without the headache of customs, international shipping charges, customer service in foreign languages, etc

How do I enroll for FBA Export?

Most sellers are enrolled automatically in FBA Export by default. To check your FBA Export enrollment status, click Fulfillment by Amazon in the Settings drop-down menu and go to the Export Settings section near the bottom. It should be automatically enabled for you.

What are the advantages of using FBA Export with Amazon?

There are lot but the main benefit is being able to sell items internationally without the headaches of…..selling items internationally. 😂

Specifically, Amazon helps you identify which of your products are eligible, fulfills your international orders, handles import duty and customs clearance, and ships your product to the international buyer’s address all without you having to lift a finger.

So why not take the sale when you can?

What about international returns?

Amazon’s return policies are used to determine whether a unit is eligible to be returned.

Are there any product restrictions?

There are a few, but if you’re selling normal products you picked up doing retail arbitrage then most of those items should be eligible such as books, DVDs, CDs, toys, etc.

  • Weapons and imitation weapons
  • Plants, plant products, seeds, and soil
  • Animals and certain animal products
  • Surveillance equipment
  • Laser pointers and related products

The nice thing is that Amazon will select which of your items are eligible for FBA Export and thus the outgoing and country specific incoming restrictions of products is not something you have to ever worry about.
