Hi All!
I work for an up and coming UK brand, and we are planning to launch in Germany later this year with our own e-commerce using a German third party warehouse to handle fulfilment. I am planning on having stock direct imported from our source (far East) into Germany. But I also have stock in the UK which I want to transfer over to a third party German warehouse. A couple of questions.
The main questions:
1. When I have been planning to transfer the stock over to a German third party warehouse, the freight forwarders now ask for an invoice - but the goods have no purchaser so therefore I have no invoice? As the goods remain in our ownership?
2. Is the solution to set up a German company and register for German VAT / EU EORI?
3. In transferring the goods to Germany I believe I would then invoice our German company the stock value of the goods for custom clearance?
4. What charges/fees I am likely to expect when clearing goods at the German side, as a zero tariff deal was agreed?
Thanks!
Joe
