Based on Amazon seller materials and official Amazon launch announcements, Amazon currently operates dedicated stores in the following countries and regions:<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"3367\" data-end=\"3419\"><strong data-start=\"3367\" data-end=\"3379\">Americas<\/strong><br data-start=\"3379\" data-end=\"3382\" \/>United States, Canada, Brazil, Mexico<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"3421\" data-end=\"3538\"><strong data-start=\"3421\" data-end=\"3431\">Europe<\/strong><br data-start=\"3431\" data-end=\"3434\" \/>Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"3540\" data-end=\"3624\"><strong data-start=\"3540\" data-end=\"3566\">Middle East and Africa<\/strong><br data-start=\"3566\" data-end=\"3569\" \/>Egypt, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, United Arab Emirates<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"3626\" data-end=\"3679\"><strong data-start=\"3626\" data-end=\"3642\">Asia-Pacific<\/strong><br data-start=\"3642\" data-end=\"3645\" \/>Australia, India, Japan, Singapore<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"3681\" data-end=\"4219\">These marketplaces have their own storefronts, languages, currencies, and fulfilment options. For sellers, the most important point is that Amazon\u2019s global footprint creates different local tax and compliance obligations depending on where stock is stored and where goods are sold. Amazon\u2019s own 2025 seller content lists these store locations, while separate official launch announcements confirm stores such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong data-start=\"4093\" data-end=\"4110\">amazon.com.be<\/strong><\/a> in Belgium, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong data-start=\"4123\" data-end=\"4136\">Amazon.ie<\/strong><\/a> in Ireland, and <a href=\"http:\/\/amazon.com.tr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong data-start=\"4153\" data-end=\"4170\">Amazon.com.tr<\/strong><\/a> in Turkey.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"5584\" data-end=\"5743\">If you want a fast answer to <strong data-start=\"5613\" data-end=\"5644\">which countries have Amazon<\/strong>, here is the current short list of dedicated Amazon stores most relevant to international sellers:<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"5745\" data-end=\"6115\">United States, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, India, Japan, and Singapore.
