How to expand Canada store to USA
I recently just started selling on Amazon fba from Canada and I would like to start remote fulfillment to the USA but whenever I try to click number one source it seems it is automatically placed as United States and not Canada… I would like to distribute my Canada fba inventory to the us for a listing that already exist in my fba Canadian store. Please help?

Remote fufillment to USA from amazon.ca FBA does not exist. And with current American trade wars unlikely to happen.

Hello @Seller_DWCoiW57qXOR9
Christine here from Amazon Forums.
The key issue you're facing is that you're unable to select Canada as the source for fulfilling orders to the US. This is because Amazon's FBA program does not currently support remote fulfillment from Canada to the US. The inventory in your Canadian FBA account can only be used to fulfill orders placed on amazon.ca.
To expand your business to the US, you would need to set up a separate US Amazon seller account and FBA program. This would involve:
Registering for a US seller account on Amazon.com. This requires a US business address and tax registration.
Sending inventory to Amazon's US warehouses to enable FBA fulfillment for Amazon.com orders.
Recreating your product listings on the US site, which may involve optimizing content, pricing, etc. for the US market.
Unfortunately, there is no way to seamlessly transfer your existing Canadian FBA inventory and listings over to the US platform. It requires setting up a parallel US selling operation.
I'd recommend researching the requirements and process for establishing a US Amazon seller account. There are also third-party services that can assist with cross-border ecommerce if you want to outsource the logistics.
Let me know if you have any other questions! I'm happy to provide more guidance within the limitations of what's currently supported by Amazon's FBA program.
