The shipping method is an extension of the traditional FBA program. But what does it really mean to ship via Pan-EU? To use the pan-European shipping offered by Amazon, you must pay VAT to the respective country by registering for tax purposes in the country of storage. What should you pay attention to, and when is it actually worth using the service?<\/p><h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-838171-identifier\">What is Pan-EU?<\/h2><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-409561-identifier\">First, a brief insight into the definition: What is the pan-European shipping by Amazon? Pan-EU means selling, shipping, distributing, and storing in Amazon&#8217;s logistics centers across Europe beyond national borders. For example, the storage of items of a product can take place in both Germany and France. This allows Amazon, and consequently you as an online seller, to save high storage and shipping costs when orders come in from various European marketplaces.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-652561-identifier\">In order for the calculation to work, the items are distributed among the respective European warehouses according to a sales forecast. Where the most sales occur, more is stored. For example, if your customer is located in Chemnitz and your goods are stored at the German-Czech border, Amazon will ship from that warehouse. This results in lower costs, and the customer receives their order significantly faster \u2013 which is one of Amazon&#8217;s most important service conditions.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-211581-identifier\">Currently, Amazon offers storage of goods in seven and sales in 17 European countries.<\/p><h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-325908-identifier\">What should you pay attention to before starting with Pan-EU?<\/h2><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-140707-identifier\">The sale and storage of goods in the individual countries are subject to certain guidelines. So what should be considered before you venture into Pan-EU shipping?<\/p><h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-357765-identifier\">Legal regulations in different countries<\/h3><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-231091-identifier\">If you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/cross-border-e-commerce-with-amazon-how-to-succeed-in-international-sales\/\">sell internationally on Amazon<\/a>, you must first deal with the legal situation. What patents and certificates do you need to possess in order to sell in the respective countries? Generally, by following German regulations, you already comply with the provisions of other EU countries. Nevertheless, we recommend that you also familiarize yourself with the respective guidelines for your products.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-852501-identifier\">Here are some requirements that, according to Amazon, are necessary for sales eligibility via Pan-EU:<\/p><div class=\"theme-block-list\"><ul class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-107474-identifier wp-block-list\"><li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-52997-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">The sale of products must be permitted on ALL European marketplace sites and must not be subject to any legal, regulatory, compatibility, or operational restrictions. For example, certain food items, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and hazardous goods cannot be sold on every marketplace.<\/li><li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-224139-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">The ASINs must be registered for shipping by Amazon and must be available on all European marketplace sites.<\/li><li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-723801-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">The products for offers with shipping by Amazon must be in &#8220;New&#8221; condition, etc.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-101943-identifier\">Does this mean that you cannot offer an electronic device that can be sold on twelve EU marketplaces but is &#8220;prohibited&#8221; in the other five via Pan-EU? No, you must, however, create different FNSKUs for the corresponding ASINs.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-626710-identifier\">Here you can find more <a href=\"https:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.de\/gp\/help\/external\/help.html?itemID=201855620&amp;language=de_DE&amp;ref=efph_201855620_cont_201855460\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">requirements for pan-European shipping by Amazon<\/a>.<\/p><h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-482805-identifier\">Amazon Pan-EU: VAT in the storage countries? Yes!<\/h3><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-667299-identifier\">Amazon describes the use of pan-European shipping as extremely straightforward \u2013 with just a few clicks, you are registered and ready to go! Millions of Amazon customers worldwide are waiting for you! However, it is not that simple. As we mentioned above, you need to be familiar with the legal situation in the respective country. This also includes VAT obligations.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-7864-identifier\">Good news in advance: Since 2021, the individual storage countries can be selected flexibly. You are no longer required to activate all available storage countries.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-815456-identifier\">However, you must be tax registered in each country where you want to store your goods. This is because the VAT ultimately shown on the invoice depends on which country the goods are shipped from.<\/p><h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-55831-identifier\">Pan-EU countries: Here your goods will be stored<\/h3><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-589549-identifier\">Currently, Amazon offers storage in seven countries: Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, France, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Regarding storage in the United Kingdom, Amazon states the following:<\/p><blockquote class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-quote desktop-bg-style-circle xl-bg-style-circle lg-bg-style-circle md-bg-style-circle sm-bg-style-circle desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-448063-identifier is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-807122-identifier\">Due to Brexit, Amazon can no longer ship orders with shipping by Amazon across the borders between the United Kingdom and the EU as of January 1, 2021, and cannot transfer inventory across borders. To sell with shipping by Amazon in both the United Kingdom and the EU, you must send inventory to logistics centers in the United Kingdom and the EU.

Because from then on, you will need to pay your taxes and submit a tax return in the respective local language. It is even worthwhile to <a href=\"https:\/\/hellotax.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">hire a tax advisor in each storage country<\/a> who is well-versed in the specifics of each country.<\/p><h4 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-797272-identifier\">Determination of VAT when issuing invoices<\/h4><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-741457-identifier\">What about the display of VAT on invoices? As mentioned above, the VAT shown depends on which country the goods are stored in. Although the costs for Pan-EU shipping are lower, the VAT can be significantly higher.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-743847-identifier\">Here is an example:<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-841518-identifier\">You as an online seller in Germany sell an item to a customer in Germany. However, this item is shipped from an Amazon warehouse in Poland. If you are not careful, you will pay higher tax rates, such as the example with Poland at 23%.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-808429-identifier\">However, if you are knowledgeable and work with a tax advisor, you will utilize the so-called option.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-276314-identifier\">This is about the service provider and the service recipient being located in one country. The service provider uses the option (opts) to charge the German VAT to the service recipient and reports this to the tax authority of the storage country with the higher VAT.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-168243-identifier\">If you want to be on the safe side, we recommend using the services of a tax advisor. This saves time, money, and nerves.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-915164-identifier\">The following tax rates in the storage countries apply in 2022:<\/p><figure class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Country<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Standard rate<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Reduced rate<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Strongly reduced rate<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Germany<\/td><td>19 %<\/td><td>7 %<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Poland<\/td><td>23 %<\/td><td>7 %<\/td><td>5 %<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Czech Republic<\/td><td>21 %<\/td><td>15 %<\/td><td>10 %<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>France<\/td><td>20 %<\/td><td>7 %<\/td><td>5.5 %<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spain<\/td><td>21 %<\/td><td>10 %<\/td><td>4 %<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Italy<\/td><td>22 %<\/td><td>10 %<\/td><td>4 %<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>United Kingdom<\/td><td>20 %<\/td><td>5 %<\/td><td>0 %<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.die-mehrwertsteuer.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">www.die-mehrwertsteuer.de<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-663756-identifier\">Returns management in Pan-EU shipping<\/h3><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-891439-identifier\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/de\/blog\/5-tipps-retourenquote-senken\/\">Returns are nothing unusual in online retail<\/a> and are simply part of it. The reasons for returns can be very diverse. If there are returns with Pan-EU shipments, it is similar to the conventional returns of an FBA item. For returns management, Amazon has developed a solution \u2013 returns are processed in specially established return centers, where they are collected and handled by qualified personnel.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-311398-identifier\">When a package is returned, the reason for the return is checked. If an item is still in new condition, it will be released for sale. Products with minor damages are reintroduced into the cycle for Amazon Warehouse Deals. Those that can no longer be sold are donated or destroyed.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-209894-identifier\">The disposal of shipments and the return process costs money.

Thus, OSS represents a central processing of all VAT reporting and payment obligations of goods trade in all 27 EU member states.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-658878-identifier\">Once a delivery threshold of \u20ac10,000, which applies cumulatively to all EU countries, is reached, VAT processing can occur quarterly. To use OSS as an online seller, you must register for this procedure. You can do this, for example, in Germany at the Federal Central Tax Office.<\/p><h4 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-405830-identifier\">What do you need to consider as a user of the Amazon Pan-EU program regarding OSS?<\/h4><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-386734-identifier\">If you have activated Pan-EU shipping and thus have a VAT registration in the storage countries, there are the following three scenarios for you:<\/p><div class=\"theme-block-list\"><ul class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-299325-identifier wp-block-list\"><li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-436142-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">You sell from storage countries to storage countries \u2013 for example, from Italy to Italy.

All orders are processed from these centers and can be shipped across Europe. The European Fulfillment Network is of interest to online sellers who want to take the step into internationalization without being registered for tax purposes in another EU country. However, using the service is associated with higher shipping fees than is the case with Pan-EU.<\/p><h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-305402-identifier\">Amazon Central Europe Program (CEP)<\/h3><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-346332-identifier\">The Central Europe Program allows Amazon sellers to store their goods not only in Germany but also in the fulfillment centers in Poland and the Czech Republic. This can be seen as an intermediate step and is also cheaper than shipping exclusively from Germany. However, tax registration is still required in the storage countries.<\/p><h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-395568-identifier\">Inventory in the Marketplace Country (MCI)<\/h3><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-185489-identifier\">Another option is the inventory in the marketplace country, abbreviated as MCI. This means you determine how much stock you want to store in the fulfillment centers of each country. This way, you maintain full control over the inventory and can respond yourself if a country needs to be prioritized. With Pan-EU, Amazon would take care of this for you or have control over it. In this program as well, a VAT number must be registered in the respective storage countries.<\/p><h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-291342-identifier\">Amazon Pan-EU Experiences: Advantages and Disadvantages<\/h2><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-514040-identifier\">Shipping through Pan-EU certainly brings many advantages and is simply indispensable for experienced sellers above a certain revenue size.<\/p><h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-841507-identifier\">Advantages<\/h3><div class=\"theme-block-list\"><ul class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-77917-identifier wp-block-list\"><li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-448138-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">Fastest shipping \u2013 the customer receives their goods significantly faster than if you were to ship from Germany to another destination country, for example. This leads to higher sales, as the Amazon customer is accustomed to receiving their orders quickly.<\/li><li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-856635-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">Storage in the EU Amazon warehouses \u2013 this also contributes to fast shipping, which is an important advantage of Amazon. Additionally, you do not have to make a decision about where and to what extent your goods are stored. Amazon takes care of that for you.<\/li><li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-856186-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">Only local shipping fees \u2013 a major advantage for Amazon online sellers. You save on high shipping costs that you would incur if you were shipping exclusively from Germany.<\/li><li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-726096-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">More revenue through internationalization \u2013 expanding a business into new markets is usually costly and time-consuming. With Pan-EU, even small to medium-sized sellers can pursue internationalization without taking on too much risk.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-65360-identifier\">Disadvantages<\/h3><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-671787-identifier\">Pan-EU also has its downsides. The main disadvantages are:<\/p><div class=\"theme-block-list\"><ul class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-452226-identifier wp-block-list\"><li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-714194-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">Very high workload and many administrative tasks \u2013 it is undeniable that by entering into Pan-EU shipping, you will have a bit more to do. A wise decision can only be to bring in a professional who takes care of all the tax-related questions.<\/li><li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-319170-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">Tax registration in all storage countries \u2013 here, not only is there a high workload, but also longer waiting times are crucial until all matters related to VAT registration are completed.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-199515-identifier\">Conclusion<\/h2><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-274009-identifier\">The pan-European shipping offered by Amazon is an extension of the FBA program and aims to simplify logistics and boost sales in Europe. With the help of Pan-EU, shipping costs within the European Amazon marketplaces are at a lower level than if shipping were to occur exclusively from Germany.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-911752-identifier\">Selling and shipping to Europe thus brings higher revenues. However, the effort should not be underestimated. Due to the storage, shipping, and sale of products in different European countries, there are several tax obligations. You need to be aware of and implement these before activating the Pan-EU switch. It is worthwhile to hire a tax advisor for each country where you store through Amazon Pan-EU. Only in this way can you ensure that all tax peculiarities of the respective country are taken into account. This fact alone can cost several hundred euros per month and means that the step must be well thought out and requires precise cost calculation.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-442145-identifier\">However, if you believe that your business in Germany has been fully tapped and you want to conquer additional marketplaces, you have several options to tentatively enter sales in the EU.<\/p><div class=\"theme-wp-block schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1622626347026\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is Amazon PAN-EU?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Pan-EU for Amazon sellers means that the sale, shipping, distribution, and storage take place in Amazon&#8217;s logistics centers across Europe across national borders. This saves Amazon and you as an online seller high storage and shipping costs when orders come in from different European marketplaces. <\/p> <\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1622625105316\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Amazon Pan-EU: which countries are part of the program?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Currently, Amazon offers storage in seven countries: Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, France, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
