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 split its FBA business into a European business and a UK business. As a result, the UK's original European distribution network and pan-European plans ceased.

 

Under the influence of this change, sellers who operate both the UK site and the EU site should enter the goods into the Amazon warehouses in the UK and the EU respectively to ensure the normal sales of the goods in the UK and EU countries. For sellers on the European station, this change has increased inventory pressure, increased logistics transportation and distribution costs, and is not conducive to inventory operation. Especially in the peak season, the uncertainty of logistics and transportation will cause the seller to not replenish the goods in time. Before Brexit, sellers could transfer directly from other European warehouses to the UK, or directly use Amazon's pan-European program delivery service. After Brexit, can the seller still transfer the inventory of the German station to the 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 of German Amazon inventory transfer to UK FBA? Here's a brief look at it.

 

Amazon inventory transfer to UK FBA process:

 

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 the overseas warehouse receives the returned goods, it will be verified according to the data provided by the customer. If it is found that the physical object is inconsistent with the data, notify the customer in time. If the packaging carton returned by Amazon is unqualified, the overseas warehouse needs to notify the customer and replace the carton in time.

 

3. The seller provides the invoices, materials and UPS express bills for customs clearance of the goods to the German overseas warehouse, and the overseas warehouses paste the bills and hand them over to UPS, or the seller notifies UPS to pick up the goods at the door.

 

4. UPS will deliver the goods to the UK. When passing through British customs, overseas warehouses provide customs clearance companies to assist sellers in customs clearance, and then send the goods to British overseas warehouses.

 

5. After the UK overseas warehouse receives the goods, the seller provides the UK FBA label to the overseas warehouse, and then sends it directly to the UK FBA.

 

The above is the whole process of transferring Amazon goods from Germany to the UK. Due to Brexit, the biggest difficulty for sellers to transfer 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 companies in the UK to help customs clearance, but Imperial Express German overseas warehouses and UK overseas warehouses can help sellers solve customs clearance problems, this difficulty does not exist, and sellers can normally ship from EU warehouses Transfer to UK FBA. It is not only transferred from EU to UK FBA, but also goods from UK FBA and EU FBA can be transferred to each other.
