E-commerce Logistics

E-commerce logistics in Germany involves the end-to-end process of sourcing, transporting, storing, and delivering products to customers, integrating cross-border and domestic operations to serve Amazon.de and the EU’s €70 billion+ e-commerce market, part of the $1.21 trillion global cross-border B2C sales projected for 2025. For Amazon sellers, Germany’s 25+ fulfillment centers (e.g., Bad Hersfeld, Leipzig, Dortmund) and tools like Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), Amazon Global Logistics (AGL), and Supply Chain by Amazon streamline logistics, customs clearance, and compliance with German/EU regulations (VAT, ICS2, CBAM, REACH, WEEE, PPWR). Third-party tools enhance flexibility for Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM) or multi-channel sellers on platforms like eBay or Zalando. Below, I detail Amazon’s logistics solutions, third-party tools, compliance integration, and practical tips for German sellers, building on prior discussions about cross-border logistics, FBA, and customs clearance.
