How to import products into the EU for e-commerce?

If you are a non-EU established company, for example your company is registered in the UK, Hong Kong, United States etc, even if you have EORI EU and VAT registration numbers in several countries in the European Union, there are several additional limitations you need to be aware of once you start importing your products into the EU and sell them online on Amazon and all the other e-commerce marketplaces in the EU. Some solutions may work in a small scale, some are only designed for large scale business, some work if you import only a few shipments a year, the other are economical only for several containers per year.

There are several limitations for non-EU companies to import and do business in the EU – the only long term solution is to set up a company in the EU, in one of the EUROzone countries and register it for VAT EU and EORI EU numbers

How do import into the European Union as a non-EU established company and save on import VAT?

Solution 1.
Fiscal customs clearance in the Netherlands
It requires you find a company within the EU, who will take responsibility for all imports, VAT and duties settlements, for the period of 6 years;
or the customs agency in NL will require you set up a customs security – 5-50k and above EUR depending on your sales volume, type of goods being imported etc.

To set up an indirect fiscal representation in the NL, it takes even 2-3 months, you will be asked to provide your company’s financial records, bank statements etc – your application can still be rejected.

If your company is allowed to do fiscal customs clearance in NL, you will also may be required to get registered for VAT NL in order to activated so called Article 23. Each shipment with fiscal customs clearance in NL requires the goods to be moved outside of NL straight after the customs clearance in completed (FLEX can offer to receive your shipments from NL to our DE warehouse). Your goods cannot stay in NL.

Solution 2.
Standard customs clearance in the Netherlands
It requires you to pay VAT NL, which – without VAT NL registration – you won’t be able to claim back later on.

Solution 3.
Importing into the European Union via Germany
For non-EU companies German customs allow for up to 10 imports a year using EORI EU number; but the imports have to be done on a occasional basis, so if you ship week after week, the 2nd shipment can be rejected; if you plan to ship several regular shipments via DE and clear the customs in DE, you have to establish a indirect fiscal representation in Germany – the procedure is similar to NL and several additional requirements apply including security deposit.

Max number of imports via DE for non-EU company per year is valid both for a standard customs clearance (where you pay import VAT DE) and fiscal customs clearance (where you don’t pay import VAT and the goods are moved to another country straight after).

Solution 4.
Importing via Poland
You can clear the customs in PL using your EORI EU and VAT EU numbers without much hassle, but if you do not have VAT PL number, you won’t be able to claim the import VAT back later on.

If you have VAT PL you have used for the customs clearance in PL, you still have to have a local PLN bank account number in Polish zloty – PL tax office do not issue VAT returns on bank accounts outside of PL and in different currencies than PLN; tax return in EUR is not possible; there are few banks in PL who offer PLN accounts for non-EU companies but company’s director may be required to visit a local branch in Poland at least once to sign the paperwork and provide his ID in person

Based on the above, the simpliest long term solution for large scale imports into the EU, several containers a year/month – is a local company in on of the EU countries with EORI EU and VAT EU numbers.

NOTE: All the information above is provided based on our experience and a feedback from several customs agencies in PL, NL, DE. The only way to obtain binding decisions on the customs clearance rules in the EU, is by applying to local customs offices in those countries on paper, providing them with all the details and waiting for 2-3 months for their official decision.

Selling on Amazon in the European Union

With the help of Accomazzi.net, an Italian IT Agency focused on e-commerce and advertising, we are presenting you with a simple guide on how to create an account on SellerCentral and start selling your products on Amazon EU marketplaces.

If you have already decided to start selling on Amazon as a seller and you already understand which logistic is the best solution for you, then you can start selling on Amazon EU marketplaces.

The first step is to go on https://sell.amazon.co.uk/ (in English) or on one of the other European country sites (.it for Italian, .de for German, .fr for French, .pl for Polish, etc.) and to create a professional account, which has a cost of 39 euros/month (excluded VAT). The account will enable you to enter SellerCentral, your backoffice on Amazon.

Remember that, apart from the monthly cost, Amazon charges a referral fee for each item sold. The amount depends on the product category. Most referral fees are between 8% and 15%.

The second step is to add your product(s) on Amazon. The procedure is extremely simple if the product is already on sale on the marketplace: just type in your price and stock availability. From SellerCentral, click the Catalogue menu and then the Add Products item. There you will find the search engine, so search the Amazon database for products and add them to your inventory.

If your product(s) are not yet on Amazon, then you will have to select Inventory -> Add Products via Upload and follow the instruction there. Basically, you will have to fill in an Excel spreadsheet with data and info; then upload it.

After having uploaded your inventory, using the function Inventory -> manage Inventory you can update your prices and quantities. Remember in “Settings” to set up your Shipping Settings and your VAT settings.

After that, you can start to advertise your products. To do so, just go to Advertising -> Campaign Manager. Then choose Sponsored Products. In the panel, you will decide which product(s) to advertise. You will decide the campaign duration and budget and just choose Automatic targeting. That’s it. Amazon will do everything for you.

Sounds easy, right? Listing your products and advertising them will be a piece of cake.

Well, yes and no. There are a lot of little details and a lot of possible mistakes that can ruin your “way to success” on Amazon.

We at Accomazzi.net have been certified as a Service and Software Partner by Amazon and we can help you in many ways; in fact, we have been helping tens of (mainly Italian) companies to sell on Amazon since 2015. From single industrious shopkeepers to important companies moving millions of merchandises each month. We can help your staff to thrive in the Amazon ecosystem — marketing, sales and cataloguing.

We will train your employees on how sales work on Amazon, share with them the knowledge gained in the field by our experts, and prepare them to properly manage all the situations that can occur. Moreover, we can help you in preparing your catalogue (item names and descriptions) and help you in uploading it on Amazon.

But there’s more… what about automating it all? Our integrated software solution, Sar-At™, can manage stocks and prices, fetching data from your internal company database and automatically adding new insertions on both Amazon and eBay, whenever a new item is released or added to your internal inventory. Or remove out-of-stock items. It can also obtain sale data from Amazon and forward it to your IT systems, if needed.

If you are a reseller, Sar-At can automatically handle prices for you, checking multiple times per day if a competitor is trying to undersell you, and in that case lower your price (within limits, of course). Or, even better, raise it when there’s no strong competition, in order to maximize your profits.

Finally, we can manage your advertising campaigns both for individual products and to generate more visibility for your brand. We can help you in the process of store creation and to add A+ content to your items.

Why do you need a professional freight forwarder for?

There are so many reasons why a Freight Forwarder is needed when shipping goods from suppliers in China to Amazon in Europe:

  1. DEALING WITH SHIPPING LINE OR AIRLINE. First and foremost, if it was so easy dealing directly with a shipping line or airline to book freight, Freight Forwarders would not exist.
  2. SHIPPING RATES. The buying power of a Freight Forwarder is much greater than the average importer, so the rates we get are much better. Sometimes 50-100% better depending on the route.
  3. CONSOLIDATION. Shipping lines do not offer consolidation services. This is something that Forwarders developed and operate, by consolidating clients cargo in one place, to create enough ‘pay load’ to fill a container. The proportion of costs are spread across each cbm/ton and a sell rate is created which included the freight from port to port, and the added service features either side.
  4. SERVICE. A good forwarder will learn your business, spot trends and recommend alternative efficiency improvements to maximise your profits. Sometimes shipping less more frequently, is better than shipping bulk less often. Quick example is cash flow vs storage costs.
  5. CUSTOMS & EXCISE. A Forwarder declares your import or export to the customs for a small fee, pays out the due funds and re-invoices you at net cost! Shipping lines and Airlines do not do this.
  6. DELIVERY. How do you want your expensive investment of goods delivered? Protected, wrapped, to FBA Spec and no doubt sitting neatly on secure pallets? Then again, you need a Freight Forwarder to ensure this happens. We may even throw in some photos before it heads off to ‘Amazon World’ too!
