How to register as an Amazon seller

This initial information provided during registration will help us to understand your business.

In order to verify your business, you'll need an official document issued by a government agency that provides key information about your company (legal name, registration number, business activities, registered address, directors and current status). You can request a copy of your company's registration extract from your national or local company register. A business licence is required for business sellers only. Individual sellers are not required to provide a business licence.

All business sellers are required to provide proof of address, such as a recent bank statement or utility bills.

Foreign sellers do not need to establish a Spanish legal entity to sell on Amazon ES but they must comply with specific tax registration and regulatory requirements before their account can become operational.

Any foreign company that sells in Spain must obtain a NIF (Número de Identificación Fiscal — Spanish tax identification number) from the Spanish Tax Agency and register for VAT purposes in Spain if it stores inventory in the country, for example through Fulfilment by Amazon. Non-EU sellers are also legally required to appoint a tax representative who will assume joint and several liability for their VAT obligations.

If your company is established in another EU country and ships orders directly to buyers in Spain without storing inventory locally, you may be able to declare VAT for all member states through the One Stop Shop (OSS) system, thereby avoiding multiple local VAT registrations.

For goods shipped to the EU from outside the EU, an EORI number is required for customs clearance and your company or designated customs broker must act as an Importer of Record. Amazon fulfilment centre addresses cannot be used as an Importer of Record for inbound shipments.

In addition to tax registration, certain product categories sold on Amazon ES are subject to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations under EU and Spanish environmental legislation.

If you sell electronics, battery-powered products or goods in any type of container or packaging, you must register with the corresponding producer responsibility system in Spain and fulfil your reporting obligations before activating those listings. You can find comprehensive information on VAT registration procedures and applicable obligations in Amazon's VAT Knowledge Centre.
