Pan-European Plan
In the world of e-commerce, reaching international audiences is key to growth. Amazon makes it possible with its innovative Pan-European Logistics Plan.
Sells with the prime label in millions of homes
Amazon has launched a program with which you will be able to market your food supplements in Europe, Pan-European plan. By unifying your VAT registration number, you gain the flexibility to sell with Amazon’s Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) Pan-European plan through the Stock on Standby (COS) program.
By simplifying VAT at the EU level, the buffer stock program enables smooth transactions. With a single VAT registration number in Germany, France, Italy or Spain, you can store locally and offer fast delivery.
One of the advantages is that you can flexibly store your products. Store your products in at least two countries between Germany, France, Italy or Spain. With the right enablement, Amazon will distribute and store your products for free, bringing them closer to customer demand.
How the program works and basic requirements
- Publish your products in all mandatory European Amazon stores.
- Enable warehousing in at least two of these countries with Amazon’s Pan-European Logistics Program using VRN, COS or both options.
- Ship your inventory to an Amazon logistics center in Germany, France, Italy or Spain.
