  "account": "On Thursday, Amazon announced a new service called Global Warehousing and Distribution (GWD) that will allow sellers to ship one batch of products from their factory to a single Amazon facility and have them reach customers in eight countries. Initially available in the U.S., the service will expand to the U.K., Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Canada by year-end, with storage costs up to 45% lower than Amazon's traditional global warehousing, AWD. GWD enables inventory to stay in one centralized pool, automatically moving to specific countries as demand arises, and reaching fulfillment centers in those regions within five days, compared to the U.S. fulfillment process. While only 30% of Amazon's sellers currently operate in multiple countries, those that do earn 70% more revenue on average. Sunny Jain, Amazon's vice president of Worldwide Fulfillment by Amazon, emphasized that going global previously required creating a new business in each country. Complementing GWD, Amazon has developed end-to-end supply chain visibility, allowing sellers to track shipments from creation to fulfillment in a single interface and with unified inventory counts. To address the challenge of compliance in international markets, Amazon is now offering a streamlined testing process for toys, reducing compliance costs by up to 60% and recognizing existing certifications across multiple countries. This new approach will extend to electronics and baby products by the end of the year. Amazon is also integrating multichannel selling capabilities into Seller Central, allowing sellers to connect and manage accounts on eBay, Shopify, TikTok, and Walmart alongside their Amazon listings. This move is expected to benefit the majority of independent sellers who currently operate across multiple channels, streamlining order fulfillment and providing a unified profitability dashboard.",
