Hello!

Who is the classed as the “Importer” when sending goods from UK to Amazon USA FBA? I am using the Cross-Border Partnered Carrier program from the UK to the US and UPS is the partnered carrier.

I need to know who is classed as the “Importer” on the Commercial Invoice. Usually it is the seller (myself), but according to the Amazon guidelines (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/GHSCW4G88VDKXB9V), “Shipments will be commercially cleared, the carrier will take care of both origin and destinations customs clearance.”.

So is it UPS? Or is still myself, the seller, that is the Importer on the Commercial Invoice?

If anyone has any experience and success with this programme, I would love to hear from you! Particularly with filling out the commercial invoice sections. This is my first time sending through Amazon PCP (usually use a 3rd party that are quite expensive) so hoping to get it right first time.

As usual, have received conflicting and general answers from the dedicated email address that Amazon suggests sending queries to, so hoping for more reliable info from an actual seller who has done it successfully.

Thanks
