Bombshell in the context of that website's subject/audience. Not a bombshell to the UK or world generally.
But why is this a bombshell (implying a surprise), rather than the natural, expected consequence of the UK leaving the customs union? I'd imagine continuing the current scheme would add a lot of regulatory and procedural complexity for Amazon, which they are unwilling to handle. Isn't this something that was expected by sellers?
I’m in the UK. I can see this is going to mean a huge chunk of products disappearing from amazon here. A lot of stuff I order comes from Europe. So supply chain problems for months here we come! Fun times ahead. And no I didn’t vote for this shit show.

But perhaps this might break some of the Amazon dominance and make way for other options - that would be a real benefit.
Sometimes, I feel like to achieve closure, I'd really need a thread where the people endlessly and repetitively insisting that Brexit is easy, would not impact trade, and would be worse for the EU than for the UK would show the grace of admitting that they very wrong, so very and obviously wrong. Similar for the beneficial effects of Hydroxychloroquine, for California basically having achieved herd immunity in May, a…
I am very sceptical that they would do something like above, as there does not seem to be any reason to do so:
- Amazon encourages you to have stock on both sides of the border to allow selling to continue as-is after the transition - repatriating stock automatically would run counter to that.
- There is no legal reason to repatriate stock. The sellers that use Pan-European fulfillment already have to be VAT-registered in all countries that hold their stock, and those registrations will continue to be valid regardless of the EU membership of the seller's home country.
- Amazon has not communicated that it is planning to do so (it has only said that it will stop transfers and fulfillment cross-border on 2021-01-01).
