How to Create an Amazon Canada FBA Shipment as a U.S.-Based Seller

Here’s a streamlined guide for getting your products into Amazon Canada FBA from the U.S.:


1. Set Up Your Amazon Canada Seller Account

If you have a Professional account on Amazon.com, you can use your North America Unified Account (NAUA) to start selling on Amazon.ca.

  • Log into Seller Central.

  • Use the marketplace switcher to select Amazon.ca.

  • If Amazon.ca isn’t listed, go to your Sell Globally dashboard and enable the Canadian marketplace.


2. List Your Products on Amazon.ca

Once your Canadian account is active, list the products you want to ship:

  • Use the Build International Listings Tool to replicate listings from Amazon.com to Amazon.ca.

  • Or manually list products directly in the Amazon.ca marketplace.


3. Create a Shipment Plan in Seller Central

To send inventory to an Amazon Canada FBA warehouse:

  • Go to Manage Inventory in Seller Central.

  • Select the product(s) and click Send/Replenish Inventory.

  • Enter your Ship From address in the U.S.

  • Follow the steps to create your FBA shipment and choose your prep and labeling options.

  • Print and apply FBA shipment labels.


4. Arrange Cross-Border Shipping

Amazon’s partnered carrier options typically don’t apply to cross-border shipments, so you’ll need to:

  • Work with a carrier like FedEx, UPS, or DHL that handles U.S. to Canada shipments.

  • Use a freight forwarder if needed to manage customs clearance and transport.

  • Ensure all customs documentation (like commercial invoices) is included.


5. Prepare and Label Your Products

Before shipping, make sure your products meet Amazon’s FBA prep and labeling requirements:

  • Package items securely to prevent damage.

  • Affix the correct FNSKU labels to each unit.

  • Label and seal your boxes with the correct shipment ID labels.
