If the book is being sold on Amazon all you have to do is make sure that it is listed as having Enhanced Typesetting enabled. You do that by avoiding markup in your source file that is not supported by Amazon. See the
Publishing Guidelines for details. You can test your book for Enhanced Typesetting support before uploading to Amazon using the
Kindle Previewer.

I strongly recommend against this. KFX has evolved over time with new features being added to it. KFX support varies greatly across Kindle apps and devices. For books sold by Amazon they only deliver KFX when a device is known to support all of the KFX features used by that particular book. A book you provide in KFX format will work on some devices and have problems on others. It will be a support nightmare.
Also, non-Amazon KFX books must be side loaded. That eliminates many useful features of the Kindle platform that customers expect, such as syncing of reading position and annotations across devices.
