Create an order with cross border fulfillment

Learn how a seller who operates and sells in two different countries can fulfill orders across the border. This operation only works for books, videos, media and discs products.

In this example, the seller is trying to fulfill an order from a Canadian (CA) warehouse to a US address.

Prerequisites

To complete this tutorial, you need:

• Authorization from the selling partner for whom you are making calls. Refer to Authorizing Selling Partner API Applications for more information.
• The Amazon Fulfillment role assigned to your developer profile.
• The Amazon Fulfillment role selected in the App registration page for your application.

Create a Fulfillment order for cross border shipment

Create an order with a US destination address and shipFromCountryCode=CA. In this case, we can skip specifying the marketplaceId in the request and the item is picked from the CA marketplace. Also, include perUnitDeclaredValue in the items of value greater than 0. Call the createFulfillmentOrder operation.
