Step-by-step guide

  • VAT Calculation Service (VCS or VCS-Lite) — toggle + date field VCS active since
  • PAN-EU program — toggle + date field PAN-EU active since
  • Storage countries: “In which of these countries do you allow your goods to be stored?” — multi-select via the flags Amazon card with marketplace selection, CEE/VCS/PAN-EU toggles and storage country selection
