Amazon’s requirements for selling in the UK and Europe are different and requires cover with above GBP4,000 of sales in a calendar month. If you make less, then Amazon doesn’t require you to arrage insurance cover your products, however we would always recommend you purchase the cover to protect your interests. Please note these requirements are subject to change and you should read your Amazon sellers agreement to ensure you purchase adequate amounts of cover.
