What is Remote Fulfillment with FBA? Review of Remote Fulfillment with FBA

Basic Introduction

Prime Day peak season sales are approaching. In order to simplify cross-border sales, Amazon US launched the FBA remote delivery program, allowing sellers to use US FBA inventory to deliver orders from Canada and Mexico.

Amazon said that when sellers create product orders on Amazon Canada and Mexico, the platform will set them as Prime-eligible products and ship the orders to buyers in these two countries.

Through FBA's remote delivery, Canadian and Mexican sellers can save themselves from managing multi-country inventory, cross-border logistics, and import tariffs.

Here’s how it works:

1. Any product order created by the seller on Amazon.ca or Amazon.com.mx will be automatically extracted from the seller's US inventory, unless the product is already in a fulfillment center in Canada or Mexico. Amazon will inform the seller which ASINs meet the requirements.

2. Import duties will be borne by the buyer and will be included as part of the purchase price.

3. Orders from Amazon sellers are shipped directly to buyers in Canada and Mexico.
