Notice for EU Customers and why we collect VAT
From 1st July 2021 all goods imported to the EU from the UK are now subject to import tax/duties and handling fees, determined by each individual country, which are usually paid by the customer on arrival at the destination country. These can vary significantly depending on the country, please see list below.
This can also cause delays whilst customs are waiting for the customer to pay these fees.
We have signed up to a service called IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) whereby we collect the standard rate VAT at checkout and pay this to the relevant tax authority on your behalf.
By using this service our customers will NOT pay any handling fees (or unexpected charges) and as the VAT has already been paid, items should be fast tracked through customs.
