Registration of ASIN from other countries
I registered a product in Amazon USA. I want to sell this product in other countries such as Japan and Australia. I tried to register using product ASIN in Japanese and Australian accounts, but it was not searched.
Can I register a new product and link it to the ASIN of the product being sold in the United States?
If the ASINs are different from each other, I have to change the barcode.

You are correct. You can link an ASIN from a different Amazon market (such as Japan or Australia) to match your USA ASIN.
Be advised that not all USA products migrate well to other markets as every market has their own laws to comply with. Not to mention, your turn around time is going to be longer for those markets (an Amazon customer in Japan will have to wait around 30 days to get their order).
If you want the shipping speed to match Amazon USA, you have to have your inventory stored in these markets and, therefore, you will need a VAT number for these markets.

Hi there @Seller_2QrpGabhAGqr7,
If you list products in different regions with the same product ID (UPC/EAN/GTIN) the ASINs created should be the same. However you won't be able to list a product until you create a listing using the "List a product not on Amazon" because if a product has never be sold in a region, it won't appear in that catalog. Thank you for your understanding.
