US LLC or European company (OÜ)? What they don't tell you
It is increasingly common for sellers who are not US residents to have trouble verifying and maintaining their LLC on Amazon. Here is what changes if you operate with a European company.
US LLC
Stricter Amazon verification for non-resident owners
Obligation to file Form 5472 with the IRS every year
You need a registered agent and an EIN in the US to operate
Amazon may link accounts with similar LLCs and trigger blocks
OÜ in Estonia
A real European company, inside the European Union
VAT number and OSS access to sell across Europe
100% digital management, no registered agent in the US
Less verification friction on Amazon Europe accounts
