Selling in the US market with Amazon Handmade
Selling on Amazon.com Handmade: market opportunity, logistics, payments and localization.
The US is the largest and most mature market in the world for handmade products. Amazon.com Handmade gives Turkish makers direct access to this massive market; but logistics, payments and localization must be set up correctly.
Why is the US market attractive?
High purchasing power, a widespread gift culture and strong demand for handmade/personalized products make the US a priority market. Demand peaks especially during special occasions and the holiday season.
Logistics options
You can ship yourself (FBM) or use Amazon logistics (FBA). Model choice is critical to balance delivery time and cost; for details, see our operations and FBA article.
Payments and collection
For US sales, you need a suitable collection solution to transfer payments correctly to your account in Turkey. This directly affects your profit calculation.
Tax obligations
Topics like 1099-K and sales tax come up in US sales; we covered these in our US tax and 1099-K guide.
Manage the process professionally
To set up your entry into the US market end-to-end, you can use our Amazon Handmade Consulting service.
