Amazon has further tightened Pan-EU (European Integration Services) eligibility rules. Existing products whose listings are not synced to the Netherlands and Belgium stores will lose Pan-EU eligibility. Orders in the German, French, Italian, and Spanish markets will revert from local FBA fulfillment to EFN cross-border fulfillment, with logistics costs increasing by up to 53%. There is now less than one month before the Netherlands deadline, so sellers should act quickly.

⚠️ Consequences of losing eligibility

· Logistics cost surge: Orders in the German, French, Italian, and Spanish markets will revert from local FBA fulfillment to EFN cross-border fulfillment, with logistics costs increasing by up to 53%

· Slower delivery: Local 1-2 day delivery will become cross-border fulfillment, significantly slowing delivery times

· Sales loss: You may lose up to 24% of the sales uplift from new FBA products

· Reduced customer reach: You will be unable to reach nearly 30 million high-spending customers in the Netherlands and Belgium, with average consumption of about US$2,600 per person

1. Use BIL batch syncing: Go to the "Build International Listings (BIL)" tool in Seller Central, select both the Netherlands and Belgium stores, and complete listing sync in one click

2. Complete GPSR information: When syncing, make sure General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) compliance information is fully filled in

3. No extra inventory or VAT registration required: Netherlands orders can share German FBA inventory, and Belgium orders can share German or French FBA inventory. You do not need to register for Dutch/Belgian VAT or prepare additional inventory

4. Pay attention to EPR compliance: Belgium battery EPR fees are withheld by the platform; Netherlands battery EPR compliance must be completed by August 18, 2025, otherwise related products will be removed from sale and Pan-EU benefits will be lost

· The platform retains certain exemption scenarios, including GL local language requirements, account suspension, missing EPR, and distribution rights. Products that meet these conditions can apply for exemption

· After syncing, local fulfillment fees in the two countries are on average 56% lower than EFN. A single listing sync operation can preserve local delivery speed and reduce cross-border shipping cost premiums

It is recommended to log in to Seller Central immediately and check the affected ASIN list via the path "Inventory → Fulfilment by Amazon Pan-European Inventory". Prioritize completing the Netherlands sync before September 3.
