● If inventory is generated in the UK or any EU country, it triggers local VAT obligations, and the local VAT number must be applied for and uploaded in a timely manner.
● If you sell packaged products in Germany, including primary packaging (that is, product packaging) and secondary packaging (that is, delivery packaging), you need to upload the German Packaging Law registration number LUCID and verify it with Amazon in advance.

● As required, you are required to upload a valid UK VAT number to Amazon Seller Central within 90 days of generating inventory in the UK to avoid being suspended from selling privileges. If you use Amazon VAT Integration Services to register your VAT number, you will automatically receive an additional 30 days of grace (120 days in total) after your tax partner submits your registration documents to the UK Taxation Authority (HMRC). If you are not using Amazon VAT Consolidation Services, you should follow emails or Seller Central messages, or ask your account manager to request an additional 30-day grace period.
