Brexit created a wave of new compliance headaches for Amazon sellers, and Steve brings in Jacob McQuoid from Avask to make sense of it. Jacob covers VAT registration, how import VAT and duty actually get calculated against retail value, and why ignoring compliance until it becomes a crisis is the worst strategy available.
They also talk through the bigger picture: using third-party logistics instead of relying entirely on Amazon warehousing, and why regulatory change is just a constant in e-commerce.
Useful for any seller expanding into UK or EU markets who hasn't sorted out compliance yet.
