Amazon coming to Nordics - FBA opportunity?

[Antti]

It seems it Amazon is expanding to Nordic countries this year. I live in Finland and was wondering if there's an opportunity to jump in FBA on first wave.

Do you have any ideas which categories are the most profitable, easiest or otherwise were first full of FBA merchants in other markets? Do you think this is something you would pursuit if you were in my situation?

Assuming they are even launching FBA here of course.

Thanks!

It's going to be very good for Nordic affiliates I think, there are quite a few niches that are not well represented with affiliate programs, but will be now with Amazon.

Hot products use to be:
- Price tag $25 to $70
- Best Seller Rate 500 to 5000
- 3 pounds or less weight
- Up to 500 reviews

Find 'em like this:
Go to amazon.com, select category you want to study, and type “-“ followed by random letters;
Press [Enter] and voila! All the products in a category by Best Seller Rate rank.

Can customers on Amazon Nordic buy from vendors from Amazon UK?

I assume that even if they can't, there are going to be more vendors on Amazon Nordic, that don't otherwise have an affiliate program.

Will be interesting to see how Brexit messes around with stuff in this area.

The Swedish customs / Postnord are already behaving like total bellends, I got whacked $10 tax and admin fee for receiving a newsletter from the states this week.
