International Trade Settings

The International Trade Settings are used to set up special restrictions for sales of the product to certain countries. Country Inclusions and Exclusions allow you to restrict (or allow) the sale or shipment of a product to specific countries. Products may be restricted because the weight of the product makes it impractical to ship outside of the country or because a dealer channel agreement limits the sale of the product to only specified countries. Some products may be restricted because the laws of some countries restrict the sale of the product.

Note: There are some site-level settings that also control where your products can be sold and shopped. These settings cannot be seen or changed by you. Contact your Store Operations team to learn more about how else your store may restrict the sale and shipment of products to certain countries.

How Trade Settings Work

If you have set inclusions or exclusions for a product, when a shopper from an excluded country attempts to purchase a product, they are informed that sale of the product is not supported by their country. Shoppers in included countries do not receive any message and can simply purchase the product as they normally would.

There are many reasons why you may want to restrict (or allow) the sale of a product to specific countries. For example, the weight of the product may make it impractical to ship outside the country, or an agreement with a dealer or channel partner may specify where you can sell certain products. There are also laws that prevent the sale or shipment of certain products (or any products) to certain countries.
