Update: Now gone. Only lasted a few minutes.

Original: Amazon France is taking pre-orders for the Metroid: Samus Returns Legacy Edition. You can reserve it here.

Despite the page saying otherwise, Amazon France will ship to the US. However, unlike Switch, 3DS is region-locked. You’ll need a European system to actually play the game. Or perhaps you’re interested in the extras.
