Once you register as a seasoned seller in Canada, you’ll have fast access to the Amazon market like Amazon.com.mx and Amazon.ca. But, if you register in the US, you’ll need to ask for approval for a unified account. Creating a new account in other countries is not necessary if you already have an account.

How to Pick Products to Be Sold in Three Countries?
Once you choose an Amazon market in which to sell in three countries like Mexico, Canada, and the US, you will need to know whether the product is right for the specific country. You need to ensure that you comply with the law of these countries.
Due to a variety of reasons which include reducing counterfeits, and increasing safety and quality, many categories need special approval to sell those items. The list can be found on Amazon Seller Central, and to gain approval you might need to be ungated and offer invoices from the supplier, FDA, government agency documents, etc. In most of these cases, you will have to register for the Professional Selling Account option in Amazon Seller Central.
How to Set Up Product Lists, Track Product Availability for Each Region?
You can set your own settings for each marketplace. To do this, just go to the section "Settings". Here you can set the tax rate, shipping options, and many other options. But make sure you are in the right marketplace.
You’ll need to list FBA products separately for your additional marketplace, as you will be making use of the available FBA service in every region rather than the chosen FBM options, also due to the customs and cross-border selling terms. It’s good to set up a separate marketplace for FBA products in diverse countries.
Market-specific SKU is kept as individual inventory pools at the marketplace level, to be delivered from and to similar regions. So, meaning handling diverse pools for the Canadian and US marketplaces - United States fulfillment centers for the Amazon market and Canadian once for amazon.ca. To refill your inventory rightly, you should switch to the right target marketplace before starting. This makes sure that your product or items go to the correct country’s warehouse.
To get the marketplace-specific SKUs, choose the Unique Offer option when making the latest offers in Seller Central. The price has separate management by region. Ensure you point out quantities on inventory files that you are uploading to Unified Account.
About Registering in the Brand Registry
