Can I prevent amazon from sending inventory to UK?

Hello,
I’d like to start using amazon FBA and start it in Italy first since I have a VAT ID there and check if it’s viable for us. But here is the problem: I can’t prohibit amazon from storing items in the UK since it’s our home marketplace. We are actually based in Poland and I don’t have UK VAT ID yet ( I will in a month) so amazon moving our inventory to UK for any reason would be a big no. I made a case with seller support to move my home marketplace, but they replied that I am in a new system and it’s impossible.

Here is my question- can I do anything to prevent amazon from moving our inventroy to UK? Why would amazon even move products to UK if I am making my FBA SKU only on Italian marketplace? Would disabling shiping program and export work? Or should I just give up for now and wait for VAT registration in UK to come through?

If you are selling in Italy and have it set to only store stock in Italy, then your stock will stay in Italy.
Even when someone from another buys and returns, as long as you have the above setting set, the stock should be returned to Italy.
There is second setting for global sales, that you need to switch off, to stop inventory being stored anywhere else.

Thank for your help
I guess I’m a little paranoid after reading the forums and problems people have.
