How does Amazon Remote Fulfillment with FBA work?

Which marketplaces qualify
US inventory can fulfil orders in Canada (CA), Mexico (MX), and Brazil (BR) via Remote Fulfillment. Other marketplaces require local FBA or EFN.
What Amazon handles
Cross-border shipping, customs clearance, delivery to end customer, returns processing. Sellers do not need Canadian or Mexican tax registration for Remote Fulfillment specifically.
Cost trade-off
Per-order Remote Fulfillment fee is higher than local FBA fees, typically adding 5% to 15% to unit cost. Delivery is slower (5 to 12 days vs 2 to 5 days local FBA), which suppresses conversion.
