If it doesn’t exist yet, the offer will not be added. Establishing international product information is also not useful for managing inventory. To make the offer buyable, make inventory available for that marketplace. Learn more about establishing international product listings.

For example, electrified products are subject to PSE audits in Japan. Click here to learn more about BIL.

In addition to “establishing international product information” (BIL), the Japanese site has a dedicated Japanese customer service (CSBA).

You can set up the product for FBA delivery on the seller platform, and then deliver it to Amazon FBA logistics centers in various countries through the first-pass delivery service of a third party company.

You can also complete the delivery of the order through self-delivery. You need to package and ship the order after the customer places the order, and you need to enter a tracking code in the back office so that the consumer can check the progress of the shipment.
