FBA in other countries
 

I'm looking to expand my business to other Amazon markets

Has anyone had success doing FBA in other markets?

What are the sales compared to US market?

its good in UK but how will you import to UK, you not resident here or any other country

Re: FBA in other countries
 

You have to be a resident of UK to ship FBA UK?

Re: FBA in other countries
 

anything you import in uk it will be on your name or on your company name and customers here require EOIR number to get that number you have to be resident in uk,

i am sure some experience member will give you batter advice if this is wrong

This is poor advise and completely incorrect - anyone can apply for an EORI number, how do you think all the Chinese guys are destroying UK sellers and importing their stock to UK based fulfilment centres....

@ Kelly441 In answer to your first questions, the demand in the UK is generally around 10% that of the US on Amazon, this figure is one I obtained from some of my friends that have big FBA based businesses. We also have a lot of traffic on DE and IT platforms, not so much on ES and FR.

To import to UK FBA, it is quite simple. I know a lot of guys that send directly from China to FBA centres. But obviously depends on the size of the product and if they are suitable to be shipped via air freight. If not, you will need a freight forwarding agent in the UK to ship the either LCL or FCL loads to a fulfillment warehouse, then you can just trickle stock to FBA centres.

[quote=bigbill;769672]Go read for EORI requirement first then advise others https://online.hmrc.gov.uk/shortform...RINonVATImport

its require national insurance number
how non resident will provide that????

Re: FBA in other countries
 

Sorry @e2free but you are incorrect. You do not need to be a UK resident with an NI number to apply for a UK EORI.

OP - this link may be useful for you US company, importing from China to UK for ecommerce - EORI and VAT basic questions | UK Business Forums

Re: FBA in other countries
 

its not just uk resident requirement for NI you should have legal right to work here aswell in UK

the link you provided had no information and it was 2012 most of things changed
those Chinese you referring to they use one vat number which is used by many Chinese

OP will import from china? where he based in US and if he import form US then it will be no demand here for his products
