Note: As a Seller participating in the FBA Export program, you are responsible for ensuring that all FBA export-eligible product can be lawfully exported without any license or other authorization, and that they can lawfully be imported into, and comply with all applicable laws of any FBA export-eligible country.

For more information on products that can and cannot be sold through FBA Export, see the Exportable Inventory Report section below.

FBA Export enrollment

FBA Shipping Program and Export currently offers two options:

• Disabled: Only customers with mailing addresses in can order your FBA products.
• Worldwide: Customers with postal addresses in more than 80 countries including the European Union can order your FBA products.

Each Seller account is automatically enabled for ‘Worldwide’ unless you disable this program.

By enrolling in Worldwide FBA Export, you authorize Amazon and its affiliates to determine to export goods out of the UK (including sign a commercial invoice) on your behalf, as required.

Certain items are controlled for export under the laws of the US, United Kingdom, the European Union and Individual European Union Member States and cannot be listed for FBA Export. Typically this is because they:

• Have a specific military use.
• Have a dual civilian and military use.
• Contain or are made from endangered or protected species.
• Can be used for repression or torture.
• Have cultural significance.
• Contain substances that damage the environment or ozone layer.

How to Edit your FBA Export settings

FBA export settings are marketplace specific. If you have any concerns, including potential distribution agreement conflicts, you may exclude all of your ASINs or Specific ASINs from the FBA Export program entirely, or from export to specific countries.

You can edit your FBA Export enrollment from the Export Settings page.

On the Export Settings page, you can choose to discontinue exporting your FBA products at any time by changing your Shipping Program selection to Disabled.

Once you have enabled FBA Export, you may exclude specific ASINs from the FBA Export program or from export to specific countries at any time by generating an FBA Export exclusion file from the FBA Export: Exclude countries/regions per product page.

The FBA Export exclusion file is in Excel format and contains a tab with instructions on how to fill it out an upload it.

Reading your Exportable Inventory Report

Amazon generates an Exportable Inventory Report that helps you identify your products that are eligible for FBA Export to fulfill international orders.

You can access your Exportable Inventory Report from the Reports tab and clicking on Fulfilment. Under Inventory, click on Show more to access the Exportable Inventory report, or you canfind the report here.

You can check your report and the list of export eligible ASINs at any time, even if you have FBA Export disabled. We update this report periodically. If you have no exportable products now, check again later

Understanding Exportability Status

• The Export Inventory Report will display the FBA Export eligibility status for all ASINs in your current catalog. In the “Export Eligibility” column, your ASIN will show as either “Eligible”, meaning the ASIN is eligible to be exported internationally to one or more countries or “Ineligible” which means it is not eligible to be exported to any country. Countries in which the ASIN is export eligible to are not listed in the report, but can be checked on the website by entering the selected country in the “Deliver to” location or delivery address location. See Which country/countries can I ship my products to? in the FAQ below for a full list of all exportable countries available for the FBA Export program.

There are many reasons an ASIN(s) can be indicated as “Ineligible” from international shipping on the FBA Exportable Inventory report. An ASIN may be considered ineligible either because the ship from country doesn’t allow the product to leave its boundaries (Export restriction); the ship to country doesn’t allow the product to enter its country (Import restriction), or products exceeding size and weight limits (Transportation and logistics restrictions). These types of restrictions are listed in the “Details” column of the report, explaining the reason why the ASIN is restricted from the FBA Export program. For more information on the different restriction types listed in the “Details” column, please see below.

Note: You can ship music, videos, and DVDs to Canada. You cannot ship books from the US to Canada.

Export restrictions:

For certain classes of products, the laws of the source country prohibit the items from shipping internationally. For example, the EU prohibits export of military products as a matter of member nation’s security. The following types of products are generally restricted for export:

• Firearms, riflescopes, and related parts and accessories
• Plants and plant products protected under the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species
• Animals and certain animal products
• Restraint devices, such as handcuffs and strait jackets
• Night vision equipment
• Items regulated under international treaties such as Washington Convention, etc.

Import restrictions:

Although a source country may allow exports of an item, destination countries have their own policies regarding what may be imported. The policies vary by country. To avoid delays, customs clearance issues, and poor customer experience, Amazon generally restricts international shipment of the following types of products (this is assessed on a country-by-country basis):

• Alcohol
• Weapons, weapon components, and weapon accessories, including defense sprays; BB, airsoft and paintball guns and parts; scopes; holsters; and carrying cases
• Chemicals including pesticides, fertilizers, insecticides, industrial and automotive chemicals, and certain cleaners
• Food, medicines, and supplements, including pet food and pet supplements
• Medical devices including diagnostic kits, medical alert devices, and sex determination kits
• Drug paraphernalia
• Adult products
• Alcohol brewing equipment
• Baby walkers, baby self-feeding devices, and car seats
• Cryptographic electronic equipment
• Gambling-related items and paraphernalia
• Imitation currency

Transportation and logistics restrictions:

Certain restrictions are based on logistics or transportation limitations. For example, products that exceed a certain size and weight are excluded from FBA Export. Transportation restrictions include:

• Heavy or bulky items such as mattresses or beds
• Dangerous goods
• Large or standalone lithium ion batteries
• Used oil, such as cooking oil or motor oil

Note: Standard-size units may be eligible for FBA Export; oversize units are not.

ASINs Not Yet Processed:

Other times, you will find that ASINs may be marked as ‘Un-addressable” for one of two reasons.

1. The ASIN hasn’t been manually enabled for export and are awaiting review for an eligibility determination. Amazon processes new ASINs for eligibility once a month.
2. There isn’t sufficient catalog information available in order to be reviewed for eligibility. Please ensure that your product contains either a full product description or bullet point to ensure that it is processed for eligibility in the next cycle.
