Instead of disposal - donation for charitable purposes in the UK from 15th September 2019

FBA Donations Program
From 15th September 2019, Amazon will introduce a new option in the UK for donating sellers' inventory to charities.

Previously, it was only possible to:

• dispose of inventory,

• return it from FBA warehouses.

From September, a third option will be available – donating products for charitable purposes. This option will be available for both manual and automated removal of inventory.

Sellers can also take advantage of tax relief associated with this method of inventory disposal, although details vary depending on the regulations in each country – Amazon does not specify them at this stage.

For now, the program covers only the UK market.
