How do I sell a product that has not been sold before?
I want to sell a product that is sold on Amazon US on Amazon Canada. However, this product is not listed on Amazon Canada. What do I need to do to sell this product on Amazon Canada? Do I need to get special permission from the brand, or what steps should I follow to list it on Amazon Canada? Thank you in advance.

Hello @Seller_EumgjO2kVNBvw,
Thank you for your question about cross-border selling. To list a product on Amazon Canada that's currently only available on Amazon US, you'll need to follow these key steps:
1. First, verify if you have the legal right to sell the product in Canada:
- Contact the brand owner/manufacturer for permission
- Ensure the product meets all Canadian regulations and safety standards
- Confirm any required certifications or documentation for Canadian market
2. If the product doesn't exist in Amazon Canada's catalog:
- You'll need to create a new listing using the "Add a Product" tool in Seller Central
- Provide complete product information, including Canadian-compliant packaging details
- Include bilingual (English/French) product information where required by Canadian law
3. Additional considerations:
- Register for a Canadian Business Number if you haven't already
- Understand Canadian sales tax requirements
- Review Amazon Canada's category requirements and restrictions
For specific guidance on listing creation and requirements, please visit Seller Central's Help pages or contact Seller Support directly.
