Canada has a population of more than 36 million, a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. Although tariffs are relatively high, the Internet penetration rate is very high, and it is highly receptive to overseas products. The reason why most Amazon sellers fail to do well is that Canada is backed by the United States, has a vast territory and is sparsely populated, and is not open to foreign companies investing in Canada. However, the Canadian online shopping market is growing rapidly every year.
The Canadian website address is www.amazon.ca.
As a discerning Amazon seller, you should pay attention to this market. The Canadian market is actually more suitable for quick profits in the early stage. The reasons are as follows:
1. It is an English-speaking country like the United States, and there is no language barrier
Cross-border e-commerce belongs to the export foreign trade industry. The target market is overseas, and English is the most widely covered language. Because English education is very popular in our country, people communicate by email on the platform, and you can also use Google Translate and Baidu Translate, so it is not difficult to invest in the market of English-speaking countries.
2. Close to the United States, buyer demand is similar to that of the United States
Canada has higher tariffs. Many sellers who have been in the Canadian market know that Canadian express prices are also higher during the off-season. The price is as high as more than 40 yuan/kg. Tariffs and express delivery prices correspond to higher selling prices, so many Canadians go shopping in the United States during holidays. Currently, almost all the products that are selling well on the US website are selling well on the Canadian website. Even if the demand is slightly different, it won’t be unsaleable. This can reduce the risk of starting a business for new sellers.
3. Amazon’s official policy towards Canada is relatively relaxed
Competition on Amazon’s US site is fierce. New sellers who register for the US site need to provide a series of information, and may not be able to obtain the right to sell. However, after registration in the Canadian site is completed, you can sell directly without secondary review. The product can be sold immediately after it goes online. Most global cross-border e-commerce companies are helping destination countries collect VAT from overseas sellers, but Canada currently does not collect it.
4. As a city close to the Arctic, Canada is a cold country
Canada’s longitude and latitude determine that its four seasons are not obvious throughout the year, and it is cold most of the year. . If you conduct preliminary research on the Canadian market and then follow these characteristics, the success rate will be higher. The seller’s store sells products developed for the Canadian market, which are of great reference value. Business opportunities are everywhere, it depends on whether you act carefully.
