Dear Seller,

We would like to inform you that Amazon is an approved provider of fulfilment services in UK under the Fulfilment House Due Diligence Scheme (FHDDS), which is a licensing requirement introduced by the UK Government from April 1, 2019 for all operators of fulfilment houses in UK.

As an approved fulfilment house operator, Amazon is required to maintain certain records related to goods stored in Amazon UK fulfilment centres on behalf of non-EU established sellers, which have a non-EU origin.  If you are a non-EU Seller sending inventory to Amazon’s UK fulfilment centres, Amazon is required to maintain a record of the following information from your selling account:

• Name and contact details.

• Validated UK VAT registration number (VRN). For more details, refer to the following link: https://services.amazon.co.uk/services/fulfilment-by-amazon/vat-resources.html

.   

• Inventory record, including quantity and description of any goods of non-EU origin stored in our fulfilment centres.

• Any Import Entry Numbers (IENs) for those goods for each shipment to Amazon’s UK fulfilment centres.

Amazon already has records of your contact details, VRN, and maintains inventory records for goods stored under FBA.  From April 1, 2019, you will be able to upload Import Entry Numbers (IEN) for any shipments to Amazon’s UK fulfilment centres, where you have an IEN number.  

For more information, including a summary of the obligations which FHDDS places upon Amazon as an approved fulfilment house operator, please refer to the following help page: https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/help/G97ZA85WXA334DR2.  

Regards,

Amazon Services UK
