What are the characteristics of Amazon Middle East Station ?

Among the Middle Eastern countries, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in the Gulf countries are countries with relatively high GDP in the Middle East. Turkey and Qatar are populous countries. Although Qatar, Kuwait and Oman are not as wealthy as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, they still have certain advantages compared with Southeast Asian countries. Iraq and Lebanon are relatively turbulent countries. At the same time, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries are constrained by their hot climate and desert environment, and it is difficult to develop light industry on a large scale. Commodities are mainly imported. In terms of peak and off-peak seasons, from a year-round perspective, Ramadan and Black Friday are generally the peak seasons.

Amazon Middle East site is fully functional, and features such as FBA, in-site marketing activity submission, promotional packages, A+ and video are all online, which is of great help to sellers. In terms of operations, Amazon also recommends sellers to make full use of holiday promotion bonuses such as Ramadan, Member Day, Electronics Day, and White Friday.

In order to invite sellers to settle in the Middle East site, Amazon has shown its full sincerity, including free monthly rent, XFBA first-leg cargo consolidation plan, Amazon Logistics New Product Selection Plan with no storage fees/inventory removal fees, free reporting of in-site activities, and $40 free in-site advertising quota. After placing an order, the platform commission for mainstream categories in the Middle East site is generally 3%-5% lower than that of the US site. This series of preferential measures is very attractive to sellers who are exploring new sites everywhere.

Amazon's UAE site covers quite a few countries. More friends will choose the European site or the Asian site to open stores and do business. After all, they are relatively closer and can save some costs in logistics.
