Amazon know that compliance requirements in the European Union and UK can be overwhelming and complex. So, to make it simpler, they have gathered some of the key requirements to make it less complicated. Today we focus on selling on Amazon.fr in France.
EU Compliance Requirements – France
Am I impacted? Yes, if you sell certain categories of products on Amazon.fr.
What should I do to prove my compliance to Amazon?
- Submit your unique identification numbers (UINs) on the Compliance Portal
- If you don’t submit any UINs, you will be auto-enrolled in Amazon’s ‘Pay on Behalf’ service and Amazon will pay the appropriate eco-contributions and fulfil the required reporting obligations to producer responsibility organizations (PROs) on your behalf for your sales on Amazon.
What is the deadline? The legislation has been in effect since the 1st of January 2022.
What are the consequences of non-compliance? You will be auto-enrolled in Amazon’s ‘Pay on Behalf’ service. If you want to stop using the service, you must submit valid UINs or remove your EPR applicable listings from Amazon.fr.
