Clarification Needed: Amazon’s VTR Policy for Cross-Border Shipments Below €20 Between the UK and USA

Hi,

Amazon just changed its VTR policy in Europe for cross-border shipments. The policy is not clear and I have read conflicting statements and also answers from seller support.

Can someone please tell me the VTR policy for Cross-border shipments for orders below €20 if deliveries are between the UK and UNITED STATES?

I am trying to determine if Cross-border shipments specifically shipments to the UK from UNITED STATES are ALSO exempt from VTR if shipped using a ‘letter’ method if value is below €20?

This method is allowed for shipments to and from the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Poland, Austria, Sweden, or Belgium below €20 (including shipping, excluding VAT) and are exempt from VTR if shipped using a ‘letter’ method but it does not specifically mention United States.

I read on an Amazon Seller forum where Julia_Amzn stated “deliveries between the UK and USA (and vise versa) are not part of the EU VTR policy.”

Has anyone else shipped orders from the United States to the UK or other European countries that meet the criteria mentioned above? If so, how has your valid VTR (Valid Tracking Rate) metric been performing? Have you encountered any challenges or noticed any trends in maintaining compliance with tracking requirements?
