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.
