Assuming you have ssh keys setup for passwordless sftp

send()
{
    fname="$1"
    dir="$2"
    sftp remotenode<<-EOF
    cd $dir
    put "$fname"
    exit
EOF
}

cd /path/to/sendfiles
bdir="Sales/location/"
for f in *details.txt
do
     country="$(echo "$f" | awk -F '-' {print $3}' )"
     send "$f"  "${bdir}${country}"
done

This assumes that there is no need to mess with capitalization of the country in the file name. Your example is not clear on that. UNIX commands are VERY picky about capital versus lowercase letters

Untested, but something like...

#! /bin/bash

user="enter username here"
hostname="enter hostname here"

ls sales-prod-*-detail.txt | while read a
do
determinant=`awk -F\- '{print $3}'`
case ${determinant} in
        "[iI]ndia") 
                sftp ${a} ${user}@${host}:/Sales/location/India
                ;;
        "[jJ]apan")
                sftp S{a} ${user}@${host}:/Sales/location/Japan
                ;;
        "[cC]hina")
                sftp s{a} ${user}@${host}:/Sales/location/China
                ;;
esac

#! /bin/bash

CURRENT_FILES_PATH = "<CURRENT SOURCE FILE PATH>"
B2B_FILE_PATH = "<DESTINATION FILE PATH>"
user="enter username here"
hostname="enter hostname here"

FILES=CD CURRENT_FILES_PATH/*
for f in $FILES
do
l=`echo $f | cut -d "-" -f3`
echo "$f -> $l
echo $l;

sftp ${user}@${host}
cd ${CURRENT_FILES_PATH}
get ${f}
put ${B2B_FILE_PATH}/*$l*

EXIT
done
