Understanding Exportability Status
There are many reasons an ASIN(s) can be indicated as “Ineligible” from international shipping on the FBA Exportable Inventory report. An ASIN may be considered ineligible either because the ship from country doesn’t allow the product to leave its boundaries (Export restriction); the ship to country doesn’t allow the product to enter its country (Import restriction), or products exceeding size and weight limits (Transportation and logistics restrictions). These types of restrictions are listed in the “Details” column of the report, explaining the reason why the ASIN is restricted from the FBA Export program. For more information on the different restriction types listed in the “Details” column, please see below.
Note: You can ship music, videos, and DVDs to Canada. You cannot ship books from the US to Canada.
Export restrictions:
For certain classes of products, the laws of the source country prohibit the items from shipping internationally. For example, the EU prohibits export of military products as a matter of member nation’s security. The following types of products are generally restricted for export:
Import restrictions:
Although a source country may allow exports of an item, destination countries have their own policies regarding what may be imported. The policies vary by country. To avoid delays, customs clearance issues, and poor customer experience, Amazon generally restricts international shipment of the following types of products (this is assessed on a country-by-country basis):
Transportation and logistics restrictions:
Certain restrictions are based on logistics or transportation limitations. For example, products that exceed a certain size and weight are excluded from FBA Export. Transportation restrictions include:
Note: Standard-size units may be eligible for FBA Export; oversize units are not.
ASINs Not Yet Processed:
Other times, you will find that ASINs may be marked as ‘Un-addressable” for one of two reasons.
