    Did anyone here created their own product to sell on amazon?

    We manufacture and import from China. For pretty much all products we find suppliers on Alibaba who make similar products. Hard to comment about safety testing without knowing what kind of product but generally you would use a company like Intertek for this. It obviously depends on the...

    Amazon FBA

    I sell on Amazon FBA and FBM and FBM sales are very rare for my business. You might do better if your products or equivalents aren't available FBA from other sellers. But mostly, in my experience, the majority of customers want Amazon fulfilment, partly because many are prime members. Also if...

    Brexit and VAT & Customs

    Yes, any non UK seller needs to register for and charge UK VAT. No customs duty due in the UK on goods under £135. There shouldn't be any admin fee because VAT is already paid. For UK selling to EU there is currently import VAT due in the EU country for order values above €22. Duty is also...

    Amazon not charging the VAT for EU orders but expect us to deliver DDP?

    It looks like they are simply sending you the incorrect template response rather than looking at your specific transaction. However, as I said before I don't think you can charge VAT on an order being delivered from UK to France so I think they are dealing with it correctly by giving you the...

    International Pricing - NON-EU (soon to be non-UK)

    If fulfilling an order from the UK, you don't charge any VAT to the EU because it is an export and should be zero rated. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/vat-exports-dispatches-and-supplying-goods-abroad#vat-on-exports The EU country will charge the customer import VAT if the value is above €22...

    Brexit - Country of Origin

    1. Yes. If the goods value is over £135 and country of origin is China then duty will apply. 2. Parcelforce will clear customs for you for a relatively small fee.

    Amazon not charging the VAT for EU orders but expect us to deliver DDP?

    I'm not sure on this but I think the way Amazon is doing it is the only way it can be done before OSS is implemented. For now, I think you would need to increase your prices to reflect it. For FBM from UK to France I don't think you can include VAT because it is an exported order. I think you...

    Sites losing sales by being unclear about the carriage charges until the end of the checkout

    Your banner only appears on desktop and not on mobile. Your 'free delivery' link to standard delivery charges is not very intuitive. Why would someone think clicking on free delivery will lead them to standard delivery charges? Also some people won't even know that's clickable. Your 'P&P is...

    Bounce back loan - turnover calendar year or latest accounts?

    It is based on your turnover for 2019 which is £60k. Your 18-19 accounts are irrelevant. The figure is self-certified and not checked against your latest company accounts. I suspect your companies house accounts for 18-19 don't declare your turnover anyway, do they? Not that it even matters.

    Do USPS take deliveries of packages from the UK?

    For small parcels it’s significantly cheaper. I can recommend Kevin’s company www.etail-usa.com

    Shipping Goods Within China

    Does anyone have experience of shipping goods within China? If for example I wanted to ship a pallet of goods from Shanghai to Shenzhen what kind of price should I be expecting to pay?

    It's in the British Business Bank guidance to lenders. https://www.british-business-bank.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/20200502-BBLS-RFP.pdf Yes, you can estimate if you weren't trading long enough.
