What is NAFN?

    The North American Fulfilment Network (NAFN) enables FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) sellers to expand across Amazon.com (U.S.), Amazon.ca (Canada), and Amazon.com.mx (Mexico) using a shared pool of inventory.

    With NAFN enabled, Amazon:

    • Stores inventory in U.S. fulfillment centers
    • Automatically ships orders to customers in Canada and Mexico
    • Handles customs clearance, cross-border logistics, and delivery
    • Supports Prime eligibility across borders

    Key benefits:

    • Reach millions of customers in North America without setting up local warehouses
    • Simplify logistics - Amazon manages the cross-border fulfillment
    • Maintain centralized inventory management
    • Option to customize pricing, tax, and shipping settings per marketplace

    Requirements and considerations:

    • Enrollment in FBA Export and Remote Fulfillment with FBA
    • Local language listings (English, Spanish, French)
    • Currency conversion and tax implications for international sales
    • May involve longer delivery times for Canada/Mexico customers compared to domestic FBA
    💡 Example: A U.S.-based seller lists their product on Amazon.ca using NAFN - when a Canadian customer orders, Amazon ships it directly from a U.S. warehouse.

    In short:
    NAFN (North American Fulfilment Network) allows FBA sellers to use their U.S. inventory to fulfill cross-border orders to Canada and Mexico - simplifying logistics and expanding reach across all three Amazon marketplaces.
