European Fulfilment Network FAQs
What is the European Fulfilment Network (EFN)?
The European Fulfilment Network (EFN) is a service that allows Amazon Sellers to store inventory in one EU country and fulfil orders across all Amazon's European marketplaces. It's an alternative to Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) that can reduce shipping costs and simplify inventory management for cross-border sales in the European Union.
How does Monta's EFN differ from Amazon's European Fulfilment Network?
While both services aim to simplify cross-border selling, Monta's EFN fees are often lower than Amazon's European Fulfilment Network. EFN also offers more flexibility in inventory placement and can provide better return logistics options for sellers looking to expand their presence in Europe.
Do I need separate VAT registrations for each country when using an EFN?
When using an EFN, you typically need VAT registration in the country of origin and destination of your goods. However, specific requirements may vary, so it's advisable to consult a tax professional familiar with EU VAT regulations.
Can I use EFN to sell on all Amazon European marketplaces?
Yes, Monta's EFN allows you to sell on all Amazon and other European marketplaces from a single inventory pool, simplifying your operations across the EU.
