Looking for a company that provides business liability insurance for a UAE-based company selling products on Amazon in the UK and EU marketplaces.

Hello all, I have recently received an email from Amazon as follows:

We sell in the US, EU&UK. The seller of record for our US store is our US corporation and the seller of record for our EU&UK store is our UK limited company. This email asks for an insurance policy underwritten for our UK limited company because the seller for our EU&UK store is our UK limited company.

We already have an insurance policy for our US corporation for US store, we can access the business coverage following this path: Account information > Business Information. So we do not have any problem uploading business insurance for US store.

When we switch to UK or any other EU marketplace, we are unable to reach to business insurance menu because there is no business insurance section under Business Information!

So can someone please explain to me, how on earth I can upload an insurance policy for UK&EU stores under my UK limited company WHEN I am not even able to access to the Business Insurance section under these stores?

Thank you.

Hi all,

Looking for some advice, I’m based in Ireland started selling about 3 months ago, have done about 8k in sales and really wanted / needed to scale this over the next few months to make an income and felt I was on route. Have setup a LTD company in UK with a UK business account too.

Got an email last week about proof of establishment in UK for VAT. Based in Ireland, I don’t meet the requirements. Got a follow up email today, Amazon said I owe historic VAT and will be charging VAT on my products going forward.

I had no idea, assumed I was going to have to register for VAT at the 90k mark like everyone else. UK accountant wasn’t particularly aware either as I think he mainly just deals with UK based sellers.

I use a prep centre in the UK so all stock is kept in UK, only difference is that I live in ROI.

Am I basically dead in the water already? Or how can I navigate this.

Thanks
