Key Changes Post-Brexit
Since the UK left the EU on January 1, 2021, all shipments from the UK to the EU require customs clearance under the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). This affects all orders, regardless of value.
New EU VAT Rules (Effective 1 July 2021)
Major changes to EU VAT regulations now apply to all goods imported from the UK:
- All goods are subject to VAT, regardless of value (the previous €22 exemption no longer applies).
- For orders under €150, VAT is collected at checkout via the Import One Stop Shop (IOSS), ensuring a smoother customs process.
Orders Under €150 – VAT Collected at Checkout
If your order is valued at €150 or less, here's what happens:
- VAT is paid upfront at checkout – no additional VAT charges upon arrival.
- Faster customs clearance, as VAT is already accounted for.
- No additional import duties are required for goods under €150.
🔍 How It Works:
Order → VAT Collected at Checkout → Faster Customs Processing → Delivery
✔️ MySupplementShop Ltd is IOSS-registered, ensuring smooth VAT processing for eligible orders.
Orders Over €150 – Duties & VAT Payable on Delivery
For orders exceeding €150, different rules apply:
- VAT is not collected at checkout and must be paid upon import.
- Customs duties may apply, depending on the type of goods and their country of origin.
- Any import VAT, duties, or handling fees are the responsibility of the buyer and must be paid before delivery.
Summary of Charges – Who Pays What?
Order Value | VAT Paid at Checkout? | Import Duties? | Additional Fees? |
---|---|---|---|
Under €150 | ✔️ Yes (via IOSS) | ❌ No | ❌ No |
Over €150 | ❌ No (Paid at Import) | ✔️ Yes (if applicable) | ✔️ Yes (handling fees, if applicable) |
Customs Duties & Additional Charges
While VAT is either prepaid (under €150) or due at import (over €150), additional charges may apply:
- Customs duties depend on the product type and its country of origin.
- Handling or clearance fees may be charged by courier services before delivery.
📌 Important: If your order is over €150, you will be responsible for all customs duties, VAT, and any courier handling fees.
