GPSR responsible person on Amazon: who it is and how to comply

Quick answer

Since 13 December 2024, Regulation (EU) 2023/988, the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), has required every consumer product sold in the EU to have a responsible person established in the EU. In practice that is the manufacturer, if it is based in the EU, the importer, or an authorised representative with a written mandate. Their name, postal address and electronic address must appear on the product and in your Amazon listing. If you sell from the UK or the US, you are a non-EU seller and need a responsible person before you sell in the EU. The same rules apply to products sold in Northern Ireland.

If you sell on Amazon’s European stores from the UK, the US or China, the GPSR responsible person is probably the requirement that raises the most questions: who can be one, what has to be printed on the product and what has to appear in the listing. These are the answers, taken from the regulation itself, the European Commission’s guidelines for businesses and the UK government’s guidance.

Amazon FBA storage and peak fees in Europe: Q4 2026

Quick answer

From 1 October to 31 December 2026 Amazon charges its highest FBA storage rates of the year. In Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, Belgium and Ireland, standard-size storage rises from €27.54 to €52.20 per cubic metre a month; in the UK it rises from £0.76 to £1.51 per cubic foot. On top come the storage utilisation and aged inventory surcharges, a festive peak fulfilment fee in Germany and the UK from 15 October, and an inbound deadline of 21 October (28 October in the UK) for Black Friday Week.

October opens the most expensive quarter of the year for stock that sits in Amazon’s fulfilment centres. For three months, every cubic metre of slow-moving stock costs almost twice as much, and the busiest weeks bring extra fees and earlier deadlines. These are the figures from Amazon’s European rate card and its peak season announcement, what they mean if you sell on Amazon’s European stores, and what to do before the deadlines pass.
