Optimize your Amazon EU strategy with accurate fee insights for DE, FR, IT, ES, NL
Pan-EU FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) allows sellers to store inventory across multiple European marketplaces (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands) and fulfill orders from the nearest fulfillment center. This reduces delivery times and improves customer experience, but introduces complex fee structures and VAT obligations.
Amazon's referral and fulfillment fees vary significantly across countries. Below is a comparative overview:
| Marketplace | Referral Fee (Avg) | Fulfillment Fee (Medium Item) | Monthly Storage Fee | VAT Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Germany (DE) | 10.5% | €4.85 | €0.85/m³ | 19% |
| France (FR) | 11% | €5.10 | €0.80/m³ | 20% |
| Italy (IT) | 10% | €4.90 | €0.75/m³ | 22% |
| Spain (ES) | 10% | €4.70 | €0.70/m³ | 21% |
| Netherlands (NL) | 10% | €4.65 | €0.72/m³ | 21% |
Under Pan-EU FBA, sellers must register for VAT in each country where inventory is stored. The EU's One-Stop Shop (OSS) system simplifies reporting, but accurate tracking of cross-border sales is essential. Failure to comply may result in penalties or account suspension.
