What is the difference between Amazon KYC and second instance? Why are there two types?

Joining Amazon requires an audit. Some merchants may know that Amazon has two forms: KYC and second review, but they can't tell the difference between the two. In order to make everyone more familiar with joining Amazon, we will also share a more detailed explanation.

Why are there two types?

The KYC audit is for the European site, and the audit is for the information of the legal person and shareholders. The second audit is for the North American site, and the audit is for the company license information. Therefore, different sites will naturally have different results.

The second review mainly reviews the time, invoices, inventory, etc. The first is to provide a bill with an address and a bill with the license address. The second is a bill with a different address from the license but a real address. There are only three appeal opportunities in the second review. If you submit a fake bill, you will have no chance; if the first submission fails, remember to analyze the reasons and cherish every opportunity.

What should I pay attention to when submitting for the second trial?

1. Provide the company's bill (authentic and valid) for the water, electricity, gas and internet bills within three months. It should be noted that the user name and address on the bill must be consistent with the registration information.

2. If your application is rejected and you are asked to provide more information, do not submit the same information. It is strongly recommended that you submit new information.

3. Machine-printed invoices or general invoices must be used, and the invoice date must be earlier than the time the product is put on the shelves.

4. Try to provide an updated version of the company's license and avoid using public computers. The chances of passing the review will be much greater if you use a brand new and clean network. All information cannot be photocopies.

KYC audit is a condition and filing of the holder (audit of European identity) and is the institutional basis for anti-money laundering to prevent corruption.

Review time: 5 to 10 working days, 1 to 2 months in special cases. The following materials need to be submitted for review:

1. Company license. Individual sellers do not need to provide it.

2. Scanned copy of the main contact's passport.

3. Any consumer bill within the last 90 days. The name and address on the bill must be consistent with the license.

4. Contact the beneficiary for the past three months.

5. For corporate bank statements, there must be a clear logo or name on it, including the company name and account number. It must be a scanned copy of a paper statement. It can be without a date, but if there is a date, it must be within 12 months.

6. Authorization letter: If the primary contact person is not a legal person or beneficiary, you need to provide an authorization letter from the legal person authorizing the primary contact person to actually operate the account. As long as the information is true, it will be approved.

In fact, the difference between KYC and the second review is that KYC is required for the European site, while the second review is actually required for the North American site. This is caused by the different policy requirements of the two regions. Therefore, if you want to settle in, you should submit the information according to the requirements of the local area, which can basically ensure approval.
