Amazon Global Selling from India: Complete Setup & Export Guide for US/UK Markets

To register for Amazon Global Selling from India, prepare the following documents before creating your account: • Business Entity & Tax Docs: GST Registration, Permanent Account Number (PAN), and Import Export Code (IEC) issued by DGFT. • Proof of Identity & Address: Passport or Aadhaar Card along with active Bank Account statements (matching exact business legal name and address). • Foreign Currency Payout Account: Register with Payoneer, PingPong, or HSBC Global Account to receive USD/GBP payouts and automatically generate e-FIRC (Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate) for RBI compliance.

Under Indian GST regulations, exporting goods and services is classified as a 'Zero-Rated Supply'. • File a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) on the GST portal at the start of every financial year. This allows you to export products without paying IGST upfront, keeping your working capital liquid. • Commercial Invoicing: Ensure all export shipping invoices clearly state: 'Supply meant for export under LUT without payment of integrated tax'. • e-FIRC Tracking: Always obtain your electronic Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate from your payout partner for every Amazon disbursement to prove legitimate export revenue.

For cross-border Amazon selling, FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) is the gold standard because international buyers expect 1-to-2 day Prime delivery. • Send B2B Shipments via Air Freight or Sea Freight: Partner with cross-border logistics aggregators (like DHL Express, FedEx, or specialized Amazon IOR/customs brokers). • Importer of Record (IOR): For US FBA shipments, shipments under $800 qualify for Section 321 de minimis duty-free entry. For European shipments, set up VAT registration in the destination country (e.g. UK VAT / Germany VAT). • Barcode & Prep: Label every unit with Amazon FNSKU barcodes and master carton labels before dispatching from India.
