Selling on Amazon UK is super-easy, but how you get started depends on whether you\u2019ve already registered to sell goods on Amazon India or not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Register with Amazon Europe<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nFill in the registration form<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Submit and wait for confirmation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, now we\u2019ve answered the question of how to sell on Amazon UK from India, you\u2019re ready to add your products and start selling, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sadly not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before you get to that point, there are a few hoops you need to jump through first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you need to be VAT registered to sell on Amazon UK?
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The answer again is: Yes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To sell products to UK Amazon customers, you must register for VAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, the time it takes to approve varies, so we recommend applying as soon as you sign up for your European seller account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting your VAT registration isn\u2019t the thing you\u2019ll need to become an Amazon UK seller. You also need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- An International credit card:<\/strong> If yours can\u2019t be used outside of India, you\u2019ll need to apply for one that does.
<\/li>- A bank account: <\/strong>This can be either a British, European or Indian bank account. Amazon will convert GBP into INR for you, saving you the hassle.
<\/li>- A business address:<\/strong> You can use your home address if you don\u2019t have any company premises.
<\/li>- A Permanent Account Number (PAN) card:<\/strong> This is a ten-digit business identification card you apply for from the Indian Income Tax Department<\/a>
<\/li>- An Importer\/Exporter Code (IEC):<\/strong> You need this to import and export goods in and out of India. You apply for this from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade<\/a>
<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nGet these in place, and you\u2019re almost ready to sell on Amazon UK from India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But wait a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What about subscription fees and prices?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How much does it cost to sell on Amazon UK?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As of November 2022, there are two subscription types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Individual<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The upside, you\u2019re not locked into a monthly subscription. The downside, you\u2019re limited to selling less than 35 items per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professional<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A professional account subscription costs \u00a325 (excl. VAT) per month, plus additional fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The upside, you can sell an unlimited amount of products. The downside, well, it\u2019ll cost you substantially more every month, but if you\u2019re selling a lot of products, it more than pays for itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What additional fees will you have to pay?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.myukmailbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ING_33594_240622.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you already sell on Amazon India or any other online store, you\u2019ll know additional fees are par for the course<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amazon UK is no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The additional fees you\u2019ll pay will depend on the types of products and services you offer customers, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Closing fees: <\/strong>If you sell media items, like Blu Ray, DVDs, Music, Books, Video Games, Consoles and Software, you will have to pay a closing fee of \u00a30.50 per item sold.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nReferral fees:<\/strong> These are based on the product category, but most referral fees are between 8% and 15%, approximately.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nShipping costs:<\/strong> These are calculated based on your shipping method. You can choose to post orders yourself or use Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA), which is when you ship your products to one of their International Fulfilment Centres.
Amazon stores the products for you and delivers them once your customers have purchased them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
