The French stock and transaction reports are reviewed before registration. Once the number is issued, the first CA3 period is reconciled to the Amazon reports rather than treated as a separate onboarding task.

Questions
- Does using Amazon FBA automatically require French VAT registration?
- French stock usually creates a French VAT obligation, but the correct answer depends on the entity, inventory movements and transactions. We confirm the flow before filing.
- Can you use my Amazon transaction reports for the CA3 returns?
- Yes. We reconcile the relevant marketplace and import data and flag gaps before preparing each return.
- Do non-EU Amazon sellers need a fiscal representative?
- Many do when they are liable for French VAT. Exemptions depend on the seller's country and the applicable mutual-assistance rules.
