What is Amazon Global Selling?

Amazon Global Selling is an e-commerce exports program that enables Indian exporters to sell internationally on 18+ global marketplaces. It provides assistance and support at every step from registration and documentation to logistics and returns. A few years ago, starting an export business might have seemed challenging. However, with Amazon Global Selling, e-commerce has become a preferred choice to export from India with more than 1 lakh exporters on the program. Apart from helping exporters reach millions of customers worldwide, the program provides expert support in multiple segments that are crucial to any export business. This helps exporters focus on their business and expansions, while Amazon takes care of everything else.

For example, one of the first steps for starting an export business online with the program is registering as a global seller. While it’s a simple four-step process, to make it simple, Amazon has identified a group of trusted third-party service providers under the Service Provider Network (SPN), who support sellers to speed up their global selling journey with their expertise.

Let’s look at 5 tools from Amazon that provide assistance to new and existing exporters.

3. International shipping and returns

When an international customer buys a product, either Amazon can ship the order with Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) or exporters can ship it themselves.

When an exporter chooses FBA, Amazon picks, packs, and ships the orders. “You sell it, we ship it”: The process in FBA is as simple as it can get. All you’ve got to do as a seller is ship your products to Amazon’s international fulfillment centers. Amazon stores, packs and delivers products on your behalf.

To help you with shipping from India to fulfillment centers in the US, Amazon launched SEND, a cross-border shipping solution that offer sellers a hassle-free shipping process and customs support. If a business wants to store even a single product for sale in the US, it can use Amazon’s warehouses there and pay for storage of that product only for just one day. With SEND, sellers can easily track shipments, ensure convenient pickup and delivery, and avail these services at competitive rates. It also enables sellers who use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) to ship small parcels abroad.
