You would never imagine that Amazon's cross-border e-commerce compliance policy is so complicated! As a Taiwanese cross-border seller, facing the EU, Japan, Mexico and other markets, the compliance requirements are confusing. But don't worry, today we will reveal to you the compliance tips of the major sites!
Let's start with an overview of each site's compliance policies. The biggest problem is that each site has unique tax and policy compliance requirements. The European Union requires a VAT number and certification under the Commodity Security Act; Japan requires JCT consumption tax registration; and Mexico requires an RFC tax identification number.
Amazon has launched two useful tools to help sellers with compliance: the "Compliance Reference Tool" helps you understand compliance policies at the product selection stage, and the "Manage Your Compliance Tool" helps with uploading compliance documents. For example, with these tools, you can easily inquire about compliance requirements for high-risk products and get information about selected compliance providers.
For European sites, did you know? E-commerce sales in Europe are expected to reach $550.8 billion in 2024, surpassing the United States! However, the compliance threshold for this huge market is relatively high. European VAT, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), EU Goods Safety Regulation (GP), and EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) are the four core compliance issues.
Even the Japanese station should not be underestimated. 2023 October, the Japanese Consumption Tax (JCT) new policy "Compliance Invoice Retention System" officially came into effect, for Taiwan manufacturers who want to develop in Asia's second-largest economy, this is a change that can not be ignored.
What's more, the Mexico site offers easy access for sellers who have registered for FBA on the US site. The Amazon Logistics Remote Delivery Program (NARF) allows you to deliver merchandise into Mexico without triggering local Mexican tax obligations.
