常见问题

Do I need a separate VAT registration for each EU country?
Not necessarily. The VAT One-Stop Shop (OSS) allows sellers to register in one EU country and report VAT on all cross-border B2C sales. However, if you store inventory in multiple countries (e.g., using Amazon FBA), you may need local VAT registrations.
What is CE marking and do I need it?
CE marking indicates a product meets EU safety, health, and environmental requirements. It is mandatory for many product categories including electronics, toys, medical devices, and personal protective equipment.
Which European marketplace should I start with?
Amazon.de (Germany) is the largest single European marketplace and a common starting point. Alternatively, if your products are fashion-focused, Zalando offers excellent EU-wide reach.
How does GDPR affect ecommerce sellers?
GDPR requires transparent data collection practices, explicit consent for marketing emails, the right to data deletion, and proper data security. Non-compliance can result in fines up to 4% of global annual revenue.
What payment methods are essential for European consumers?
At minimum, offer credit/debit cards, PayPal, and Klarna. Add iDEAL for Netherlands, Bancontact for Belgium, and Carte Bancaire for France based on your target markets.
How do returns work under EU consumer law?
EU law mandates a minimum 14-day cooling-off period for online purchases during which consumers can return products for any reason. Many marketplaces and competitors offer 30-day windows.
