You won't believe how many compliance requirements there are to enter the European e-commerce market! As an Amazon seller, are you confused by terms like VAT, packaging laws, WEEE, CE marking and EU responsible persons?
The European market is huge and the business opportunities are endless, but for Taiwan's cross-border exporters and Amazon sellers, the compliance issues are a big challenge. It is said that European compliance is complicated and costly, what is the best way to handle these requirements in a time and cost effective manner?
We will continue to optimize the compliance process, especially in the area of VAT registration. All sellers on Eurostore are required to complete European Value Added Tax (VAT) compliance, which is the first step in ensuring a smooth sale and long-lasting business. Simply put, if you generate inventory in the UK or EU, you need to apply for a VAT number for the country in which the inventory is located.
Sellers in Germany need to pay special attention to the fact that if you sell goods with packaging in Germany, you need to upload the LUCID registration number in advance; if you sell electrical and electronic equipment, you need to provide the WEEE registration number. Goods that do not meet these requirements may be at risk of being discontinued!
For example, if a seller, Xiaoming, stores inventory and sells electrical and electronic equipment in Germany, he needs to register not only for the German VAT tax code, but also for LUCID and WEEE. After all, compliance is the basis for long-term business.
In addition to supporting the basic compliance requirements, EU website sellers should be aware that if they sell CE-marked goods (e.g., appliances and toys), they must have a "responsible EU person" located in the EU as a contact person for compliance of the goods. This requirement is particularly important for CE-marked goods manufactured outside the EU.
