Since the UK officially left the EU single market and customs union, the UK and the EU have officially established a customs border. In response to Brexit, Amazon has divided its FBA business into European operations and UK operations. As a result, Britain’s original European distribution network and pan-European plans ceased.
Under the influence of this change, sellers who operate both the UK and European stations should enter the goods into Amazon warehouses in the UK and EU respectively to ensure the normal sales of the goods in the UK and EU countries. For sellers in Europe, this change has increased inventory pressure, increased logistics transportation and distribution costs, and is not conducive to inventory operation. Especially during the peak season, the uncertainty of logistics and transportation will cause sellers to fail to replenish goods in time. Prior to Brexit, sellers could move directly to the UK from other European warehouses or directly use Amazon’s Pan-European shipping program. After the UK leaves the EU, can sellers still transfer inventory in Germany to UK FBA?
The answer is yes! The UK overseas warehouse of the third-party German overseas warehouse can help sellers transfer Amazon inventory directly from EU countries to UK FBA. So what is the operation process for transferring German Amazon inventory to UK FBA? Let’s take a brief look at it below.
The process of transferring Amazon inventory to UK FBA:
1. The seller creates a goods removal plan, removes Amazon inventory to the German overseas warehouse, and uploads the goods data to the German overseas warehouse. operating system.
2. After receiving the return, the overseas warehouse will verify it based on the data provided by the customer. If it is found that the physical object is inconsistent with the data, notify the customer promptly. If the packaging carton returned by Amazon is unqualified, the overseas warehouse needs to notify the customer and replace the carton in a timely manner.
3. The seller provides the invoice, information and UPS express receipt for customs clearance of the goods to the German overseas warehouse. The overseas warehouse will post the receipt and hand it over to UPS, or the seller will notify UPS to pick up the goods.
4. UPS express delivers the goods to the UK. When passing through British customs, the overseas warehouse provides a customs clearance company to assist the seller in customs clearance, and then sends the goods to the British overseas warehouse.
5. After the British overseas warehouse receives the goods, the seller provides the British FBA label to the overseas warehouse and then sends it directly to British FBA.
The above is the entire process of transferring Amazon goods from Germany to the UK. Due to Brexit, the biggest difficulty for sellers moving goods from EU countries to the UK is customs clearance. Because Amazon, as the recipient, cannot handle customs clearance services, most sellers do not have local British companies to help with customs clearance, but Imperial Express German overseas warehouses and British overseas warehouses can help sellers solve customs clearance problems. This difficulty does not exist, and sellers can normally ship goods from EU warehouses. Transfer to UK FBA. Not only does it transfer from the EU to UK FBA, but goods from UK FBA and EU FBA can also be transferred to each other.
