AGS

AGS (Amazon Global Store) is a program that allows customers to purchase international products from Amazon’s global marketplaces (like the U.S., UK, Germany, Japan) while shopping on their local Amazon site.

With AGS, customers can:

• See localized prices (in their own currency)
• Get estimated duties and taxes at checkout
• Receive international shipping to their location
• Access foreign selection not available locally

From a seller/vendor perspective, AGS enables:

• Cross-border sales without creating a separate seller account in every country
• Reaching international customers via Amazon-managed infrastructure
• Amazon to handle currency conversion, customer service, and returns
• Selling in a “storefront within a store” model - Amazon acts as the importer and retailer in the destination market

Example:
 A customer in the UK sees and buys a U.S.- based product on Amazon.co.uk through the Amazon Global Store, with full visibility on shipping time and import charges.

AGS is especially helpful for:

• 1P vendors expanding into new geographies
• Global brands looking to scale without local operations
• Testing demand in new international markets

For customers, it’s a seamless experience. For sellers, it’s a way to expand reach without setting up new entities or listings manually.
