Why We Exist
Same story, over and over: a European manufacturer with a proven product, losing weeks to customs paperwork, VAT registrations, EORI numbers, and Amazon's maze of fulfilment rules. They didn't need another consultant — they needed someone to actually do it. That's why Bison exists.
Compliance first, always
UK VAT, German VAT, dual EORI numbers, Companies House registration — all in place before we shipped our first product. The point is that you never have to think about it.
Your warehouse to their doorstep
You ship from your European warehouse. We handle customs, VAT, FBA prep, and listing creation. Your product ends up in a UK customer's hands without you touching UK paperwork once.
A small team, not a chain
You'll talk to the same people from first call to first sale and every shipment after. No account manager handoffs, no "let me check with my colleague" loops.
How We're Different
Most cross-border services hand you an account manager. That person emails a logistics team. That team emails someone else. By the time you get an answer, you've forgotten the question. At Bison, you talk to the people doing the work.
"We'll help you sell on Amazon" usually means they'll list your products and leave customs, VAT, and compliance to you. We handle all of it — before you have to ask.
The typical setup: three vendors, two freight forwarders, and a spreadsheet holding it all together. Ours: one pipeline. Your warehouse to UK customers.
And the quote? The price we quote is the price you pay. No line items that weren't in the original estimate. No surprises on the invoice.
“We built Bison to make selling to 67 million UK consumers as straightforward as selling domestically.”

It started with a conversation. A German manufacturer with an award-winning product couldn't get it onto UK shelves. The customs paperwork alone had stalled them for months. Our team took it on, cleared the entire process, and had their first units in Amazon FBA within weeks. That first shipment became Bison.
Cross-border logistics, Amazon FBA operations, UK import compliance — we built the company around the real challenges suppliers face when entering the UK.
Customs clearance, VAT registration, warehousing, fulfilment — Bison takes the complexity. Suppliers keep doing what they do best: making great products.
Based in Oxford, our team works directly with every supplier partner — transparent from first conversation to products reaching UK customers.
