▶ Video account attention cross-border navigation It is learned that according to a Jungle Scout survey, 93% of Amazon sellers suffered revenue losses in 2021 due to global supply chain problems. Among them, 69% of small businesses and 66% of large companies said that inventory from China was delayed. From this, it is not difficult to see that cross-border sellers are facing a difficult situation in 2021. But as the saying goes, "When you are surrounded by green mountains, you may think there is no way out, but suddenly you see thousands of sails coming in the distance." In recent days, Amazon Europe has released a lot of good news, which is undoubtedly the "thousands of sails" coming in the distance for cross-border sellers who have already felt that "there are green mountains and no way out".

Although with the release of Brexit, European VAT tax and other policies, the complexity of entering the European site and the VAT compliance policy have made sellers somewhat discouraged, judging from the recent good news from Amazon Europe, the potential of Amazon Europe is still worthy of sellers' attention. |
