Anecdotal, about 15 years ago I had good success with using USA site ASINs on a European site but about 5 years ago I only got "not found" results so I stopped trying and do the "try typing in the name and hope for the best"-dance if I don't skip amazon directly and search on meta-portals instead (in particular for IT devices geizhals.eu has a very extensive filter system so it's easier to also search for alternatives in one go). I don't remember which categories the items belonged to though or if there might have been some "market region" restrictions/scarcities placed by the sellers.
