Why Indian & Asian brands are not listed on European portals?
Most of the EU portals demand local existence. VAT is mandatory (which is not a hassle-free process and is difficult to get).
The local legislation demands all necessary information about the vendor. The other key reason is adherence to consumer laws which are very stringent in Europe. Now with new rules and policies for refund, VAT and tax returns, it is very tedious and expensive to enter into Europe.
High-cost warehousing in Europe is one other reason that Asian & Indian organizations are not opting to sell in Europe. Though Amazon provides warehousing facilities, it costs a bomb. In case of low sales and high returns, vendors start losing patience, as it can turn out to be above and beyond the means of most businessmen striving to keep the business afloat.
