Picture this: you’re rocking it with sales on Amazon Brazil. Orders keep rolling in, five-star reviews stack up. Feels great, right? Except there’s this mess of tax paperwork lurking underneath. Yup, the dreaded Nota Fiscal (that’s Brazil’s electronic tax invoice). Think confusing rules, government changes faster than you blink, and endless details. Mess up once, and you risk slow shipments, worried customers, or worse—Amazon blocks your listings.
But now, flip that scene. Instead of dreading month-end, your shipment invoices and payment data sync automatically. No more late-night spreadsheet marathons. Automation sorts orders and invoices like magic. Tax people might even smile at you. That’s the goal with Amazon’s new Selling Partner Shipment Invoicing API for Brazil. It cleans up the chaos and lets you scale without tripping over paperwork.
So, what’s in this for you? Here’s the lowdown on how this API works, why it can boost your bottom line, and how you can finally leave Brazil’s tax headaches behind.
Key Takeaways
Selling in Brazil isn’t easy. Ask any Amazon seller—they’ll tell you. Brazilian tax rules are tough. Every shipment needs a perfect Nota Fiscal, which is a digital invoice the tax folks want to see.
If you screw up the product code, wrong buyer info, or miss a number, your stuff gets stuck in customs or Amazon freezes your products. Mariana Almeida, a tax pro from São Paulo, says it straight: “If you sell on Amazon Brazil, you need invoice automation to survive.”
Let’s be real: spreadsheets only help so much. You can copy-paste shipment info and juggle PDFs, but you can’t keep up manually. The bigger your business, the worse it gets. Next thing you know, you’re drowning in emails and hoping you didn’t miss something important.
Modern FBA sellers need more than checking boxes—they need full-on automation. That’s where Amazon’s new Shipment Invoicing API comes in.
If you’re aiming to grow and dodge compliance pain in Brazil (or any rule-heavy place), check out tools like AMC Cloud, made just for Amazon sellers.
The new API isn’t just a random add-on. It’s a full toolkit that fits how Amazon FBA works in Brazil. Here’s what you get:
/fba/outbound/brazil/v0/shipments/{shipmentId}. Forget hunting through Excel or your inbox ever again.And this is all built for FBA sellers. If you’re selling lots of products, you can kill paperwork and focus on growing your business.
But hey, it’s not a free-for-all. Amazon has rate limits—about 1.133 requests per second per seller, but check for your numbers. If you push big volumes, batch requests and avoid the busy times. (Pro move: send a bunch overnight to keep things cruising without hitting your limit.)
On August 28, 2025, Amazon is giving you more payment info in their APIs. New fields show up for FBA Onsite, MFN (that’s Merchant Fulfilled Network), and Easy Ship. Better details mean it’s way easier to match up sales with payments, even with Brazil’s strict laws. Big sellers will love this—now you know what’s what come tax season.
Picture an electronics seller shipping 100 orders a day. A year ago, their inbox looked wild:
But after using the API?
It’s like going from a flip phone to a modern smartphone, overnight.
Based on early user stories:
Here’s João. He runs a big Amazon store in Brazil. Before the API: two full-time people just did invoices all day. After: “95% of our invoicing is automated. We spend less, waste less paper, and everyone’s happier.” (Except maybe the paper company.)
Why care so much? Because Amazon gets hurt by compliance problems just like sellers do.
With this API, Amazon wants sellers to stay compliant so their whole system runs smoother.
Sure, this API is made for Brazil (one of the wildest places for tax rules). But Amazon has bigger plans—other countries will get these tools too as things heat up there. For now, if you sell to Brazilians, you’re lucky to lead the way.
Don’t risk it all first try. Use Amazon’s sandbox to test your setup with fake orders. Every code and number on a Brazilian Nota Fiscal matters. “Mistakes are expensive in Brazil,” warns André Carvalho, a fulfillment consultant. So build strong test cases before you go live.
With the new payment fields, matching cash and orders gets simple. Build them into your flow now so you’re ready for the next tax season. Tools like AMC Cloud can help, just plug in the new API bits.
Save this for your tech team:
/fba/outbound/brazil/v0/shipments/{shipmentId}Q: Do I need to use the API for every FBA shipment?
A: If you want your business to keep running smooth, yeah. Every FBA order in Brazil needs a real Nota Fiscal, and Amazon wants these done with the API.
Q: What if my invoice gets rejected?
A: Check the error code from Get Invoice Status. Fix what’s wrong—even a missing number can break it. Fast fixes keep your orders moving.
Q: What new payment data comes with this?
A: After August 28, 2025, you get better payment fields in getShipmentDetails and getOrders. That means more exact matches with your records—perfect for Brazil’s wild tax rules.
Q: Is this API just for FBA? What about MFN/Easy Ship?
A: The shipment invoicing API is for FBA, but the new payment data shows up for MFN and Easy Ship too. Everybody benefits.
Q: Any API request limits? How should I work around them?
A: Yep—about 1.133 per second, but always check your feedback from Amazon. Batch smart, avoid rush hours, and keep your workflow smooth.
Q: I’m a US-based seller shipping to Brazil. Do I have to care?
A: Yes. This is about Brazil’s rules, not where you live. You still gotta automate or risk falling behind.
