Amazon Germany VAT Number

Hello,

I recently sent stock to Amazon FBA Germany, to be stored + shipped from Germany.

I have just been informed by my FBA agent that I need a German VAT number. This after they originally said I don’t as there is a €100,000 threshold. Mix up, now have to find a solution.

I have no problem applying for a German VAT number but this will take a few months. I need to go live next week as products are seasonal.

Is there a temporary way around this? Are there any agencies that you can use a temporary number while you wait for your own German VAT number for example?

I have a Dutch VAT number and registered for OSS (One Stop Shop) however this will not work as goods are stored in Germany.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated…
