Where we sell

Thirteen marketplaces, each with its own rules.

Brands and suppliers come to us from the US, Europe, Türkiye and China, and some have never sold on Amazon at all. Amazon looks the same in every country. The requirements behind it do not. Here is what each market asks of a brand, and what we prepare before a product goes live there.

Brands from Europe

Expansion works in both directions.

A German or European brand that sells well on amazon.de can take the same route the other way: to the UK, the rest of the EU, the UAE and the US. Our German partner warehouse is the starting point.

Into the rest of the EU

The GPSR file and EU set-up already exist, so new EU countries are mostly localisation and VAT.

Into the UK

UK labelling, UK VAT and stock moved through our UK facility.

Into the US and the UAE

US import and FBA prep through our US partner warehouse; UAE import and licensing for the Gulf.

Europe: two ways to fulfil

Pan-European FBA or one hub. We pick per product.
