European Fulfilment Network between the UK and the EU to reopen in March 2022
We are reactivating Amazon’s European Fulfilment Network (EFN) between the UK and the EU starting March 2022. You will be able to fulfil cross-border orders of eligible products with FBA inventory stored in your home fulfilment centre, subject to EFN fee changes. This will occur gradually in phases through May 2022.
If you have inactive international listings in the EU or the UK due to the unavailability of EFN for cross-border fulfilment, these listings may automatically reactivate starting March 2022.
Review your Build International Listings (BIL) settings, check that your offers across the UK and the different EU stores are updated, and incorporate EFN cross-border fees.
If you are using Pan-European FBA and shipping your products to a local fulfilment centre, we will prioritise fulfilling from local inventory, and domestic fulfilment fees will apply. For more information, go to European Fulfilment Network (EFN) between the UK and the EU.
To prevent all of your eligible offers from being activated, opt out by 11:59 p.m. (BST) on February 23, 2022.
For more information to enrol or unenrol your account into EFN between the UK and the EU, go to Cross-Border Fulfilment Settings.

OK. Sounds good so far - but I have a few questions:
-
I am already registered in FBA but do not currently have any product in FBA. Presumably, all I now need to do is send goods into a UK FC and when the program becomes active this will enable sales into the EU?
-
Am I right the fees with be FBA fulfillment fee plus the normal Amazon selling fee? So, for example, a Small Parcel weighing 300g would cost me Amazon selling fee plus either £2.52 to be sent to a UK address or £4.93 to be sent to a EU address?
-
Finally it looks like Amazon is updating the BIL tool so it automatically accounts for exchange rate, taxes and fees (whereas before it only accounted for exchange rate). However, I am wondering how this will work in practise.
For example,
Selling price on UK site is £12 (inc VAT) for a parcel with a £2.52 UK EFN fee and a £4.93 EU EFN fee
When the BIL tool calculates the EU price will it be as follows:
£12 - UK VAT = £10
Subtract UK EFN fee of £2.52 = £7.48
Add on EU EFN fee of £4.93 = £12.41
Add on EU VAT (lets assume this is 21% for the country it is sold to) = £15.02
Adjust £15.02 for exchange rate into Euro
If it does above that will be really good. -
One caveat to the BIL tool though is this:
Build International Listings won’t adjust your prices to synchronise with the source store if you do any of the following
Use automated pricing rules outside of Build International Listings.
Set the price for each ASIN.
Update your prices via bulk upload.
Use Marketplace Web Services APIs.
I am assuming (hopefully) that it means you cant do the above on the EU Marketplace and not the UK Marketplace. That I can still upload a pricing file to adjust my UK prices and the BIL tool will still update the EU prices?

what does " eligible products" means?
I am an Italian artisan and before Brexit I was allowed to sell my creations stored in Italy (FBA) in UK.
Based on what the products are now eligible or not?
