Step 1

Decide what to sell
Understanding UAE/Saudi local laws is important for selling on Amazon.ae & Amazon.sa. It is important that you understand how UAE/Saudi applies Value Added Tax (VAT) to orders made online. When you import goods into UAE/Saudi, you must comply with UAE/Saudi customs laws, as well as other laws and regulations.

Step 2

Register and List
Take advantage of Amazon’s powerful tools to manage your seller accounts. You can link your North American or European marketplace accounts to your UAE/Saudi account, see your global sales on one page, and sync your listings. Learn more about the document verification and review process after setting up a UAE/Saudi Account.

Step 3

Ship and fulfill
Amazon has a network of leading international shipping and logistics experts that offer special discounted rates for Amazon sellers that are expanding their business into UAE/Saudi.

Amazon Sellers opt for Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) when they want to generate more sales without necessarily investing in logistics. Understand what’s involved in shipping to and fulfilling in the UAE/Saudi, including costs, times, and requirements.

Step 4

Manage your business
Use Amazon tools like Sponsored Products, Lightning deals and coupons to build your business in UAE/Saudi.
