Amazon Europe is one of the largest sales channels in the world – take advantage of it
Amazon is a sales channel with an extremely wide sales reach. Hence a very lucrative platform for companies who want to sell their products on line. In addition to selling your own products, you can also use their platform to make drop-shipping sales. You can even serve as an advertising space broker. In 2019, Amazon reported more than 280 billion dollars in net sales. Most of this was the retail sector.
Amazon enables sales with lower logistics costs
Selling through Amazon Europe has not been possible until this year due to their procedures not complying with Slovenian anti-money laundering and terrorist financing legislation (ZPPDFT-1). Since February this year, MGRT and Amazon Europe representatives have finally been able to resolve bureaucratic obstacles. This enabled sales on the Amazon plaform to Slovenian companies as well.

How can you participate on the platform with your Slovenian company?
In order to sell through Amazon Europe, you first need to register an appropriate legal form. Foreigners can register an LTD company in Slovenia with 7500€ share capital. During the company registration, the consultant on the VEM point has to insert the right business activity in your company’s act of establishment. Online or mail order sales fall under in the activity “Retail sale via mail order houses or via the Internet” (SKD code 47.910). The activity is not specifically regulated and does not require special education for its performance.
Online sales where products are delivered by mail (and there is no personal pick-up by customers) are also considered to be a silent activity and consequently do not require the use of an operating permit for the business address.
