Hi
I have some amazon products from US with my amazon affiliate account. If somebody from Italy clicks on my link it would take him to the US site. So in that case, if that person will research the product from amazon.it and buy it (assuming it still has my code in his phone) I will still get a commission?

No. They'll be taken to Amazon US and their cookie will be limited to that domain.

What you want is link localization! Or link globalization (depending on what you call it)

There are several third party link localizers, some charge a flat fee.

They will redirect your link to the local Amazon variant, so a cookie gets dropped for you.

Here are a few -

GeniusLink - https://geniuslink.com/localization ($5 per month)
Bestazon - https://wordpress.org/plugins/bestazon/ + http://origin.bestazon.io/subscription.html ($6 per month)
Amazon Auto Links - https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-auto-links/ (Free)
Easy Azon - https://easyazon.com/ (Free)
Woocommerce Amazon Affiliates - https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-amazon-affiliates-wordpress-plugin/3057503($49 one time)

Additionally, if you're using an API based solution such as AAWP - the feature comes included - https://getaawp.com/docs/article/geo-targeting/

And if you're using manual Amazon generated links, Amazon has a OneLink Program to achieve this. Visit https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/onelink

Try onelink for that. It's in the Amazon affiliate program.

If you are promoting a US amazon product by using onelink and you got click from Italy (or somewhere else) your customer will be taken to their country's amazon.

Hi thank for reply. I tried onelink from my amazon account and it said that all is already set up.
However I m not 100% confident because I use shopify and I integrate the link with an app named Spreadr App - Amazon Importer
Should I still worry about the code regarding what I said?

What about if I am using onelink but also I use an amazon Importer app plus Shopify?
When they click from my shopify it redirects them to US even if they're in Italy, UK an so... And even if I use onelink.. I guess that is because of the shopify app... Well in that case what I really wanna know is what happens with the code? Because if they click from Italy, then it opens US and they close the tab to open an amazon.it one... If they're still have my code that s all fine with me... But do they?
