Amazon found in the EPR compliance portal that some sellers had uploaded WEEE registration numbers that were noncompliant (expired or belonging to Amazon), so sellers need to take action to resubmit valid registration numbers within 30 days.

Amazon sent an email notification to the relevant sellers on June 17 with the subject: please submit your WEEE registration number within 30 days to avoid listing deactivation. If the seller does not submit a valid German WEEE registration number (WEEE-Reg.-Nr) within 30 days from June 17, the product will be deactivated on Amazon.de.

Step 1：Log in to the EAR portal above, and enter the WEEE registration number you provided in Seller Central’s Compliance Portal in the input box after “WEEE-Reg.-Nr.DE” in the title bar.

Recently, many sellers may have noticed that their ability to create new UK shipments for Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) in the United Kingdom has been suspended. The reason for the permission restriction is that the seller has not met the compliance requirements of the UK FHDDS (Fulfillment House Due Diligence Scheme).

The regulation requires you to prioritize providing the import entry number (IEN) for products that entered Amazon’s UK fulfillment centers on or after April 1, 2024. You must also provide the IEN for past Shipments that entered Amazon’s UK fulfillment centers on or after January 1, 2024. If you do not submit the IEN or select a reason code within 60 days after the goods arrive at Amazon’s UK fulfillment centers, you will be restricted from creating new UK Shipments starting June 30, 2024.

Step1: Please contact your carrier/freight forwarder immediately and prioritize obtaining the IEN required for shipments that entered Amazon’s fulfillment centers in the UK on or after April 1, 2024 and have been there for more than 60 days.

Step2：After receiving the IEN, go to the shipment processing progress page through Seller Central “Menu > Inventory > Shipments,” or copy the following link into your browser: https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/gp/fba/inbound-queue/index.html. Find the shipment ID for the shipment that cleared customs with this IEN, and under the affected shipment status, find the IEN window for “Incomplete import details.”

Step3：Please select the corresponding option based on your IEN status.

🔸 If you have already obtained an IEN, please select “This shipment has an import record” and enter a valid IEN.
🔸 If you have requested an IEN from your carrier/freight forwarder but have not received it, you can select the reason code “This shipment has no import record > My products were imported, but my broker or logistics provider did not provide the IEN as requested.”
🔸 If your shipment did not cross the border, but was purchased from within the UK and delivered to an Amazon fulfillment center in the UK, you can select “This shipment has no import record > I purchased these products in the UK”.
Please note that checks may be carried out to ensure the validity of the answers provided.

Step4：Once you have completed the IEN upload or reason code selection for all non-compliant shipments sent to UK fulfillment centers on or after April 1, 2024 that have been there for more than 60 days, your permission to create UK shipments will be restored immediately.

Sellers in the France marketplace should note that starting in July 2024, Amazon will charge sellers an annual service fee for the "payment service" for products in applicable EPR categories sold on Amazon.fr in 2023, and will recoup the eco-fees generated by sellers’ sales subject to EPR regulations.

If the seller has not submitted a valid registration number for one or more Extended Producer Responsibility categories, then starting in 2022, the seller will be automatically enrolled in the payment service for applicable Extended Producer Responsibility category sales on the Amazon.fr marketplace.

To help explain the calculation logic for pass-through service fees that sellers care about most, we’ve put together the following table. Please note that all data related to eco-contributions in the example is for illustration only. Please refer to the actual eco-contributions billing report you receive.

If a seller first sold products in the relevant category on Amazon.fr between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023, inclusive, Amazon will provide the pay-on-behalf service free of charge in 2023 for the seller's products sold in the relevant category. The promotion will automatically be applied to all eligible sellers.

Seller Zhang San began selling products on Amazon.fr in the first quarter of 2022 and sells products in the "packaging" category; the eco-fee for 2023 is €49.90, and the quarterly eco-fee for sales in the electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) category is €20.55. How much in total does Zhang San need to pay in environmental fees and service fees for 2023?

Seller Li Si only started selling products on Amazon.fr in the first quarter of 2023, selling products in the Packaging category, with a 2023 eco-fee of €49.90 and a quarterly eco-fee of €20.55 for sales in the electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) category. How much in total does Li Si need to pay in environmental fees and service fees for 2023?

For sales transactions in 2024 and later, if you are automatically enrolled in France’s quarterly Extended Producer Responsibility proxy payment classification and want to stop using this service, you must submit a valid registration number in Amazon’s Extended Producer Responsibility compliance information portal before the last day of the quarter in which you want to stop using the service.

Likewise, for annual categories, please submit your registration number on the Extended Producer Responsibility compliance portal before December 31; for semiannual categories, please submit your registration number before the end of the applicable half-year period (June 30 and December 31). Verification of registration numbers can take up to 5 business days, so Amazon recommends that you submit your registration number as soon as you have it.

If I want to get a registration number, what are the benefits of Amazon’s Extended Producer Responsibility service?And how can I subscribe?

Amazon Managed Placement official service has the following benefits:

🔶 Safe and reliable: Service providers are strictly screened and centrally managed by Amazon to ensure the qualifications of authorized representatives, giving you peace of mind throughout the process.

🔶 Worry-free compliance: Amazon monitors and advances the registration process, with dedicated Chinese-language support from Amazon’s Seller Support team throughout the process.
