Markets
Five countries, each with its own codes, suppliers, tax lines and estimate habits. Here is what we do differently in each.
| Country | Time zone | Send by (local) | Ready by (local) | Currency | Units |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🇺🇸 United States | UTC−5 to −8 | 20:00 | 07:00 | USD | imperial |
| 🇨🇦 Canada | UTC−4 to −8 | 20:00 | 07:00 | CAD | metric + imperial |
| 🇦🇺 Australia | UTC+8 to +11 | 20:00 | 07:00 | AUD | metric |
| 🇯🇵 Japan | UTC+9 | 18:00 | 09:00 | JPY | metric |
| 🇰🇷 Korea | UTC+9 | 18:00 | 09:00 | KRW | metric |
Pick your country for the details: which rulebooks we price against, which suppliers we check, how the tax and permit lines look, and where the Chinese-speaking trade communities we serve are concentrated.
