Is VAT registration necessary to do FBA in Germany?

Sell On Amazon Help for New Sellers

Hi everyone! A newbie here.

I live in Sweden but I want to sell on the German market, which means I’d need to store my FBA inventory in Germany. I currently have an individual seller account just to gain experience before switching to professional.

Do I need to register for German VAT before I can store inventory there?

If yes, do I need to do it before shipping there and how do I go about getting VAT?

Thank you!

Don’t do OA, it is risky and there are high chances of account deactivation.

You will need EPR in any case to sell in German market.
