From now on, Amazon Europe compliance is no longer a problem! As a Taiwanese cross-border e-commerce seller, have you been intimidated by the terminology of VAT, packaging law, WEEE, CE marking and EU responsible person? Don't worry, this guide will unveil the mystery of European compliance for you!
The European market is full of opportunities, but compliance requirements do confuse many cross-border exporters and Amazon sellers. Did you know that different types of sellers have different compliance requirements to fulfill? Different types of sellers have different compliance requirements to fulfill!
One thing that can prevent you from entering the European marketplace is a lack of knowledge about compliance. The first step that all European sellers must complete is VAT compliance, which includes registering for a tax code, filing a full return, and paying on time. Simply put, if you generate inventory in the UK or EU, you need to apply for a VAT number for the country where the inventory is located.
Sellers on the German site need to pay special attention to two major compliance requirements: if they sell goods with packaging, they need to upload the LUCID registration number in advance; if they sell electrical and electronic equipment, they need to provide the WEEE registration number. Merchandise that does not meet these requirements may be at risk of being discontinued from June 5, 2023 onwards!
During the Greek economic crisis, for example, many e-commerce companies were forced out of the market due to compliance issues. Now, with the right compliance knowledge, you can avoid similar risks. EU website sellers should also be aware that it is illegal to sell CE-marked goods without an "EU responsible person" located in the EU!
This is just getting started. With the constant updating of EU regulations, compliance requirements are constantly changing. As a Taiwanese seller, understanding and meeting these requirements in a timely manner is the key to long-term stability.
