FBA Export: How Amazon Sellers Can Reach International Buyers at No Extra Cost
FBA Export lets Amazon sellers reach buyers in 100+ countries at no extra cost. Amazon handles international shipping, customs, and delivery while buyers pay shipping and duty fees.
Overview
FBA Export is an Amazon program that allows Fulfillment by Amazon sellers to reach international customers without any additional fees or complex logistics setup. Through this program, buyers in over 100 countries and regions can purchase eligible products from a seller's home store, with Amazon handling the heavy lifting of international fulfillment, customs clearance, and delivery.
Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know
- No additional seller fees — FBA Export does not cost sellers anything beyond standard FBA fees. There are no extra charges for international order fulfillment through this program.
- 100+ countries and regions — International customers from more than 100 countries and regions can browse your home store and purchase FBA Export-eligible products.
- Amazon handles logistics — Amazon takes care of international shipping, import duty processing, and customs clearance on your behalf, then delivers the product to the buyer's international address.
- Buyers cover international costs — The international buyer is responsible for paying international shipping fees and any applicable customs duties, not the seller.
- Automatic eligibility screening — Amazon automatically identifies which of your FBA products qualify for international export, so there is no complex enrollment process for individual ASINs.
How FBA Export Works
FBA Export operates through your existing FBA inventory and product listings. When an international customer visits your home Amazon store (such as Amazon.com for US-based sellers), they can view and purchase any of your products that Amazon has flagged as export-eligible. Once an order is placed, Amazon picks, packs, and ships the item from your existing FBA inventory just as it would for a domestic order. The key difference is that Amazon also manages the international shipping logistics, including coordinating customs clearance and handling import duties so the package reaches the buyer's overseas address. Sellers do not need to create separate international listings or enroll in additional marketplace programs to take advantage of FBA Export.
