Direct Linking (Amazon Mobile Associates API) not working for non-US items?

Question

We have implemented the Direct Linking feature (from Amazon Mobile Associates) and we intend to use it with non-US products (e.g. from Germany - Amazon.de). When accessing the generated german product's link, a "Page not found" is diplayed.

I noticed that the domain is american (www.amazon.com/..) and I read that the Amazon Mobile Associates API serves only U.S. users, but is there a way in which non-US products can be displayed using Direct Linking?

Thank you!

It seems this API is only available in the US. From their main page for this API:

Amazon Mobile Associates Availability: The Amazon Mobile Associates API serves U.S. users and works with mobile apps on Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD, and Android phones and tablets.

Also, looking at the detailed API Reference, I could only find a marketplace parameter in the User object (and even without further digging, being part of the user object it probably won't do what you are looking for).
