    Shipping from the UK to Amazon FBA Centres in Spain - good Spanish customs agent?

    I’ll post back here when I get some progress. Seriously how hard would it be for the government to have produced an updated document with advise and details on how to trade with each EU country after Brexit. It’s not the big companies that have struggled as they can afford advisors, it’s...

    Shipping from the UK to Amazon FBA Centres in Spain - good Spanish customs agent?

    It doesn't show up as being valid, it may have been done automatically if you used a third party to register them.

    Shipping from the UK to Amazon FBA Centres in Spain - good Spanish customs agent?

    I think they are related but not automatically linked? Like the UK, I applied for VAT registration and then an EORI number. It will likely be the same as my Spanish VAT number prefixed by ES.

    Shipping from the UK to Amazon FBA Centres in Spain - good Spanish customs agent?

    As an update for anyone else who might be struggling, I’m applying for a non resident Spanish EORI number as Spain no longer recognises UK EORI numbers. The application has to be made in person or by a representative at the Spanish tax authorities won’t let a non resident apply online. This...

    Shipping from the UK to Amazon FBA Centres in Spain - good Spanish customs agent?

    Hi, thanks very much for the detailed reply. Yes this has been a nightmare for me. Initially I planned to send the Netherlands FBA centres but they are on German soil. I did try the AVASK route previously and I believe they were not dealing with Spain to UK shipments at that time. I will...

    Shipping from the UK to Amazon FBA Centres in Spain - good Spanish customs agent?

    Interesting, so for France you just had to register for French VAT? You don’t have fiscal representation in France? That’s an option but means another VAT registration fee for me.

    Shipping from the UK to Amazon FBA Centres in Spain - good Spanish customs agent?

    Thanks for the reply. It’s a product for the EU market so changing the plug isn’t an option. The shipment needs to be cleared by a Spanish entity with fiscal representation in Spain. Any UK companies will need to also contact a customs agent in Spain so using a UK company is just adding a...

    Shipping from the UK to Amazon FBA Centres in Spain - good Spanish customs agent?

    Goodmorning all, I am a small startup and I am having some roadblocks sending shipments from the UK to Spanish FBA Centres: 1) I cannot list the product on Amazon UK to use the EFN network as it has an EU plug on it and Amazon UK will not allow products with an EU plug on it 2) I cannot...

    Making things easy for B2C in Europe

    Thanks, I did look at IOSS but customers buying direct from me will probably order in 5’s and 10’s which pushes it over the limit. Huboo seem very start up friendly. The issue is I will be customising the colour and finish of some units in the UK to match the customers requests in the 5’s...

    Making things easy for B2C in Europe

    Thank you, it would be ok for orders of two but many customers will want more than two units. Amazon really do simplify things. As much as they get vilified for destroying high streets they also make it very easy to sell from the UK into Europe.

    Making things easy for B2C in Europe

    Hi, Thanks for the reply, DDP is the search term I needed. Not sure if I'm using the wrong search terms but it wouldn't have killed the UK government to put up easier to access information on all this. Most everything I learn is from You Tube or Forums. Much appreciated,

    Making things easy for B2C in Europe

    Is there a way for me to handle the VAT and Duty charges to my customers in Europe? I am holding my bulk stock in the UK, right now my plan is to send a smaller shipment and get it cleared into a fulfilment company in Europe and distribute to European customers from there. I would then have...

    China>UK>EU

    I will, yes FBA only so I will stock up chosen Amazon warehouses in Europe from my bulk stock in the UK. Not on a sale by sale. It would be a quarterly re stock.

    China>UK>EU

    Thanks, they will. I’m selling mostly through Amazon so I will pay the import duty and VAT to the Netherlands from the UK.
