If you do not have a valid VAT number registered in the EU Value Added Tax Information Exchange System (VIES), your FBA inventory in Italy will not be able to sell. This will also affect your ability to use PAN-EU services, FBA value recovery services, VAT calculation services, and send new FBA shipments.

If you meet any of the following conditions, please make sure to review the action guide to avoid the risk of business interruption:

● All FBA sellers selling on the Italian site

● Sellers using Pan-EU services and having inventory configured in Italy

● Sellers using Italian overseas warehouses for delivery

Special reminder:

The above three types of sellers belong to the "non-EU sellers or sellers using tax representatives" category, and need to complete tax representative qualification verification, personal guarantee submission, and VAT number status check.

Please immediately compare your own business scenarios and promote compliance according to the "3-step action guide" below to protect the growth of European sites!

● Find the tax number: In the "DATI RELATIVI AL RAPPRESENTANTE IN ITALIA" (Italian representative related data) section of the Italian tax certificate, obtain the tax number (CODICE FISCALE) of your tax representative.

● Check qualifications: Verify their registration status through the Italian Tax Authority database.

● Quick replacement: If they are not listed, please contact them to verify whether they have provided a tax representative guarantee, or find a tax service provider through the Amazon Service Provider Network.

Once the first step is met, a financial guarantee of €50,000 is required. Please cooperate with your tax representative to complete the submission.

If this guarantee is missing, the Italian tax authorities may contact you through your tax representative.

(Note: Amazon's grace period is based on the notice received by the seller on the seller platform)

▎ Amazon's grace period: Refers to the period when Amazon detects that your Italian VAT number is marked as invalid in the EU Value Added Tax Information Exchange System (VIES), before officially restricting
