The Pan-European Fulfillment Network, or PAN-EU for short, means that as a seller, you allow Amazon to store your products in other countries and ship them from there to customers in those respective markets.

This has three main advantages:

  1. For customers – they benefit from faster Prime shipping.
  2. For sellers – you only pay local domestic shipping fees, rather than expensive cross-border rates.
  3. You have one centralized inventory across Europe in Seller Central instead of multiple fragmented stock locations.

How does this work with SPACEGOATS?

If you don’t want to register for VAT in every European country to participate in the PAN-EU program, you can simply use SPACEGOATS’ existing infrastructure.

Our Amazon account is already VAT-registered in all PAN-EU countries, which makes foreign warehousing simple and compliant.

SPACEGOATS purchases your goods in Germany.

You ship your products to a german Amazon Warehouse into our inventory under our Amazon account, and Amazon distributes them automatically to the countries where you want to sell.

You can control everything through our software, the GALAXY, meaning you retain full control over your listings, PPC, and inventory.

Difference Between PAN-EU and EFN

It’s important to distinguish between PAN-EU and the European Fulfillment Network (EFN):

Just like PAN-EU, EFN gives you a single inventory across Europe.

However, under the EFN model, goods are shipped from your home country (e.g. Germany) to the customer in the destination country.

This results in slower and more expensive delivery times.
