Identity Information
Hi,
I contacted with support team they said we don't guid you about legal entity selection
Country of residence: Latvia
Business registration country: Latvia
Amazon Market: Germany
I think I messed up with the Identity information.
I am Sole Proprietor registered in Latvia, i also have opted for Union-OSS for European market.
When on Amazon I had to choose the business type in Business and Contact Information section, there was only following choice available for Latvia:
1. State-owned business
2. Publicly-listed
3. Privately-owned business
4. Charity
5. Individual
I chooses "Individual" and received an answer from Amazon that i' m incorrectly selected the individual legal entity and have to choose from the following:
-- International Sole Proprietor: This legal entity is applicable for any commercial individuals who sell for profit. A sole proprietorship is usually registered with local authorities. There is no legal distinction between the owner and the business.
-- UK Sole Proprietor: This legal entity applies exclusively to UK sellers and is for any commercial individual who sells for profit. A UK sole proprietorship is registered with the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). There is no legal distinction between the owner and the business.
-- State-owned business: This is a business that is either wholly or partially owned and operated by a government.
-- Publicly-listed business: This is a business with shares listed on a stock exchange for public trading.
-- Privately-owned business: These entities, such as limited companies or partnerships, are businesses controlled and operated by private individuals.
-- Charity: This is an incorporated or non-incorporated tax-exempt body.
But i don' t have Sole Proprietor option listed in the list provided by Amazon.
So i had to choose Privately-Owned business.
And I think this is wrong choice.
Now Amazon asks me to provide Legal Representative and Business registration document. When you are Sole proprietor you don't have these documents.
I am not able to go backward and change business type.
Would you be so kind to help me sort this issue.

Legal Representative: You must issue yourself with a power of attorney
Business registration document: In Germany, a ‘business registration = Gewerbeanmeldung’ is sufficient - you must have registered your company somewhere and have a proper VAT registration, otherwise you cannot sell on Amazon. It's not a backyard shop.
