Overseas delivery by sellers is enabled using Delivery Settings, and there are no additional handling charges for the use of this function. For more information about setting delivery methods, see our help pages Merchant Fulfillment Non-Media Export and Delivery settings for books, music, videos, and DVDs (overseas media deliveries).
Overseas deliveries of products other than media are considered to be large-sum products. Overseas delivery settings can be enabled for each delivery pattern by assigning SKUs to templates. If set, all SKUs assigned to the delivery pattern will be eligible for overseas shipping.
Responses to queries from overseas buyers must be in English. Before enabling overseas deliveries, you must make preparations to respond to customers in English and check which products can be exported.
