Why Expand to Canada
Amazon is one of the largest and fastest growing online retailers in Canada, with 15.9 million unique visitors spending 505 million minutes on the site each month. Amazon.ca is newer and continues to grow at more than twice the rate of Amazon.com. When you sell in Canada, you are helping grow the Canadian selection from tens of millions of items to hundreds of millions of items. New sellers launching in Canada will find similar product demand, language, operations and logistics as Amazon.com, making Amazon.ca a great growth opportunity.

• You or your broker acts as the importer of record (IOR)
