There is news regarding the EFN - the European Fulfillment Network. Namely, sellers can now make sales between the UK and the EU. The EFN works as follows: You store your Prime eligible goods in a logistics center in the UK and can ship from there to the EU and vice versa. Amazon takes care of the delivery. This means you don't have to keep stock on hand at the destination. Thus, you also keep the fees low. In this article, we will go into the requirements for participating in the EFN. We will also show you how the registration process works. Furthermore, we will go into the sales tax regulations.
To participate in EFN, you need access to seller accounts in the EU and UK. You must also use Amazon FBA in both regions. Furthermore, you must have inventory for eligible listings in local logistics centers. In addition, all EU stores must be enabled for export. The affected countries are Germany, Italy, France and Spain.
Now the question remains how to register for the EFN. To activate the EFN, you must first request registration of your eligible listings using the cross-border shipping settings in Seller Central. You will then receive a confirmation email from Amazon. Your shipping program and export settings will then be updated automatically. You can also unsubscribe from EFN at any time. To do so, simply deactivate the respective countries in the cross-border shipping settings.
Products you sell through the EFN must not cost more than 135 euros or £122. Regarding sales tax, you need to note that you must be registered for sales tax in the country where you sell. For sales under 150 euros, Amazon will show the appropriate sales tax. However, if this amount is exceeded, the buyer is the official importer and must pay import VAT and customs duties.
