do I have to create a separate account and company?
Do I have to pay sales taxes in Europe or HAQM does it for me?
Seller_qLsAfimFdnyiE
Good day, thanks for allowing us to ask questions in advance. I have similar one's to In_Hype_906.
1. Taxes, in general who is responsible for taxation and taxation related compliance abroad.
2. Are their any other compliance or things sellers should do prior to shipping inventory to an EU country FBA center.
3. Is there an effective way to separate and manage FBA inventory abroad. I sent inventory to Canada once and have yet to send more since I'm never sure if I'm looking at US or Canada SKUs.
Thanks!

If I understand well, you do NOT send inventory to Europe:
".... your export-eligible products stored in US fulfillment centers"
I think here we are talking about a new programm called
That doesn't have to be the same like "Sell Globally" where the seller needs to ad all these marketplaces to his seller account.
If it's working how I imagine it's incredibly easy for US sellers. No new marketplaces in seller central, no VAT number from each European country, no need to file a VAT return, no need to package, buy shipping and ship, no need to care about import fees and customs, no need to upload an invoice for each customer.
But maybe I didn't understand this correctly, since they write:
That means we create accounts in the marketplaces and list but don't send? Who pays the VAT and customs?
A main problem I see although: as well as in the USA, in Europe the product label has to appear in the language of the marketplace! Big problem. So, for regular products sold on .com they could only be sold in UK, Ireland and Malta. And since the units are taken from US inventory, the seller would need to create listings in different languages (or on different marketplaces as asked above), send inventory in different languages to HAQM USA and HAQM would pick the correct one (with its specific FNSKU) and send to the correct country.
Sounds easy, but in reality it won't be.

post. I have a brand selling on HAQM US, Canada, Mexico markets and I want expand in the EU
1. Do I need go through the IP Accelerator Program and Brand Registry process again in Europe?
2. Can I set up a store without brand Registry in the EU or can I have my current store setup and displayed over into the EU HAQM marketplaces?
3. Do I have to send inventory to HAQM FBA in Europe before applying for a VAT?

i dear please I not understand the payments HAQM is not good for me everyday I selled . Money I never received one big money. I don't know what happened
Seller_asXyI6yX0MQp5
Thank you for providing this forum.
HAQM Global Selling different from Remote Fullfillment with FBA?
Does the HAQM US account automatically send EU customers to the HAQM EU?
How will the Worldwide Customers know an HAQM US product is also available through the HAQM EU store in their country?
There are no additional account fees for selling to the global markets?
My questions below is similar to Platinum_Level_LLC
Do I need to do the brand registry process for EU
Do I need to do separate stores or the US store is all I need?
Seller_QHGa3Q6v17FQa
Will you be covering selling in the UK as well? I’m particularly interested in whether remote fulfillment from the UK to Ireland is now available, as I’ve seen some discussions on Reddit suggesting that it is but HAQM support told me that is not yet fully operational.
