What is the Central European Program (CEP)?

Modified on Wed, 4 Jun at 8:55 AM

The Central Europe Program (CEP) is an Amazon fulfillment solution that allows sellers with German inventory to expand their storage locations to Poland and the Czech Republic, in addition to Germany. This program helps sellers optimize their fulfillment costs and improve delivery efficiency across Europe.

Key Features:

  • Expanded Storage Network: Sellers can store inventory in fulfillment centers across Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic.

  • Cost Savings: Sellers who participate in CEP avoid an additional fee of £0.26 (UK), €0.26 (DE/FR/IT/ES/NL/BE), SEK 2.50 (SE), or PLN 1.15 (PL) per unit shipped from German fulfillment centers.

  • Faster Deliveries: By distributing inventory across multiple locations, sellers can reduce delivery times for customers in Central Europe.

Important Notes:

  • VAT Compliance: Sellers must ensure they meet VAT obligations when storing inventory in Poland and the Czech Republic.

  • Eligibility: Some product categories may not qualify for CEP. Sellers should review Amazon's guidelines to confirm eligibility.
