Capabilities

• Compare candidate Amazon marketplaces using a consistent decision model.
• Build a directional landed-economics model with explicit assumptions.
• Map tax, customs, product, packaging, producer-responsibility, and account questions for qualified review.
• Compare cross-border fulfillment, local inventory, FBA, and 3PL operating models.
• Create a listing-localization and launch-validation brief.
• Recommend a pilot market and define go, hold, and stop gates.

Usage Examples

Should I expand my Amazon US kitchen brand to the UK or Germany first?

Compare Canada, Japan, and Australia for this ASIN and show what evidence is still missing.

Build a 90-day Amazon Europe expansion plan, but do not guess VAT or compliance requirements.

I sell a battery-powered product. Create the questions I need to resolve before choosing a new marketplace.

Inputs and Collection

Use supplied evidence first. Collect:

• current marketplace, account status, ASINs, product category, and brand ownership;
• candidate marketplaces and business objective;
• selling price, product cost, dimensions, weight, shipping origin, incoterms, and return assumptions;
• sales history, conversion, seasonality, keyword data, competitor evidence, and review insights;
• product materials, power or battery details, intended use, age grading, claims, certifications, and documentation;
• fulfillment preference, inventory budget, launch budget, timeline, and risk tolerance;
• localization assets, trademark position, importer-of-record plan, and access to tax or compliance professionals.

If critical inputs are missing, ask one consolidated follow-up. If the seller needs an initial screen, continue with ranges and label every unknown that could change the recommendation.

Workflow

1. Define the Decision and Evidence Boundary

State the target decision, evaluation date, candidate marketplaces, product scope, and evidence inspected.

Use three labels:

• Confirmed: supported by seller data or an inspected current source.
• Directional: derived from an explicit assumption or proxy.
• Unresolved: requires Seller Central, a current official source, a provider quote, or qualified advice.

Do not invent search volume, sales, fees, tax rates, duties, certification needs, account eligibility, or market share.

2. Screen for Hard Gates

Before scoring demand, check whether any candidate market has unresolved gates:

• product eligibility or restricted-product status;
• safety, labeling, language, testing, documentation, or responsible-person requirements;
• dangerous-goods, battery, chemical, cosmetic, food, medical, children's product, or radio-equipment implications;
• trademark, brand authorization, or listing-control risks;
• importer-of-record, customs, tax registration, invoicing, or producer-responsibility obligations;
• available fulfillment route and return handling;
• account, identity, banking, or payout readiness.

Do not convert an unresolved legal or compliance question into a negative conclusion. Mark the market Hold for verification when the answer can change feasibility.

3. Build the Market Comparison

Evaluate only dimensions supported by evidence:

If numerical scoring is useful, define weights before scoring, show the formula, and leave unsupported dimensions unscored rather than fabricating precision.

4. Model Directional Unit Economics

Use a transparent per-unit model:

Net proceeds before tax treatment
= customer price and seller-paid shipping
- marketplace referral and closing fees
- fulfillment or local delivery fees
- inbound freight and handling
- duty, customs, and brokerage estimates
- storage, returns, removals, and disposal allowance
- advertising and promotion allowance
- currency conversion and payout costs
- product and packaging cost
= directional contribution per unit

Show source, date, currency, range, and confidence for every material input. Keep VAT/GST/sales-tax treatment separate until a qualified professional confirms how prices, collections, credits, and registrations apply to the seller.

Run at least base, downside, and stress cases. Do not recommend a market only because the top-line price is higher.

5. Choose an Operating Model

Compare relevant options rather than assuming local FBA is always best:

• fulfill cross-border from the current country;
• send inventory to a destination-country Amazon fulfillment network;
• use a local 3PL or distributor;
• pilot with merchant fulfillment before local inventory;
• defer the market until compliance or economics improve.

Assess customer promise, landed cost, inventory exposure, returns, customs responsibility, tax implications, and operational complexity. Label any Seller Central or provider-dependent capability for verification.
