Customs clearance and shipping services
team

What are Amazon's customs clearance and shipping services for international shipping?

We offer shipping solutions for sending pallets and small packages between the UK and the EU.

The solutions make use of cross-border freight transport as well as the services of an external supplier. Our trusted partners work as fully integrated customs partners to reduce post-Brexit complexity.

There are three solutions:

1. ATS AVASK
Sign up for AVASK customs brokerage services. Send small packages from your warehouse to a domestic Amazon sorting centre. Amazon Transportation Services (ATS) then ships the goods across the customs border free of charge on your behalf.

2. UPS AVASK
Sign up for AVASK customs brokerage services. Send small packages with UPS across borders between the UK and the EU from your domestic warehouse to an FBA fulfilment centre and receive discounted partner rates for the entire shipment.

3. UPS SCS AVASK
Sign up for AVASK customs brokerage services. Send pallets with UPS SCS across borders between the UK and the EU from your domestic warehouse to an FBA fulfilment centre and receive discounted partner rates for the entire shipment.

Why ship across borders?

Amazon's customs clearance and shipping services make it easy to ship inventory across the customs border between the UK and the EU, giving you the opportunity to reach millions of new customers.

• As an EU selling partner, you can reach a wide range of potential new Prime customers with the UK Amazon shop.
• As a selling partner in the UK, you gain access to eight new Amazon shops and benefit from reduced shipping costs when you sell through the pan-European FBA programme. This means you can also start selling in Italy, Spain, Poland, Sweden and Belgium by shipping to France or Germany, thereby broadening your customer base.

If you keep goods locally at these Amazon shops, you get a range of benefits, including:

• Local FBA fees
• Eligibility for the Prime logo
• Super-fast shipping times to customers
• Eligibility for Pan-European FBA
