Help with selling in Europe please
I currently sell on the United Kingdom market on amazon I offer free shipping on my items. Would like to start trying to sell in Europe firstly Germany and France as a test clearly shipping is much more expensive into these territories can I add shipping to my inventory and how do I make my listings live in these countries.
Kind regards
John.

If you're on a Pro plan it's just a simple case of enabling shipping to the countries you want to ship to and setting the cost you want to charge for it in your shipping templates.

Do be aware of all the regulations and customs/duties rules to ship into Europe.
GPSR for one that is coming in in December.
Also, there are two ways of doing this. You can either offer International shipping via Amazon UK, or have listings on Amazon FR and Amazon DE.

As above reply - you need to acquaint yourself with all the many requirements of shipping overseas, not just the high shipping costs, but customs, duties etc.
Check out Amazon Seller University as I am sure all the info you need should be there.

thanks for the responses everyone I basically went to each item in my Uk inventory and made it available to certain eu countries and entered a price in euros. I’ve managed to make 1 order in France but it hasn’t charged shipping which I have set up on the international shipping settings, so I’ve had to make the markets inactive for now whilst I get to the bottom of the issue

also I’ve had some issues with confirming the bank deposit method. France and Spain are fine but Italy, Belgium and Netherlands don’t let you select United Kingdom as the location for the bank address.
I’m aware of tariff codes for sending items into the eu is there anything else I need to make sure I’m aware of or implementing
Once again thank you for your help it’s much appreciated
