Value Added Tax (VAT)
On July 1, 2021, the European Union (EU) made changes to their Value Added Tax (VAT) rules. The EU removed the VAT exemption of €22, and VAT is now required for all commercial items imported into the EU, with the exclusion of gifts and goods subject to excise duties.
The EU customs authorities have created a portal called the Import One-Stop-Shop (IOSS) to manage the payment of VAT. For shipments under €150 in value, commercial customers can charge the VAT at the time of purchase (rather than collecting at the door) and use the IOSS portal to remit VAT payments monthly, directly to the EU. The IOSS is not allowed for gifts or for goods subject to excise duties (such as tobacco or alcohol). If using the IOSS scheme, the IOSS number and the 6-digit HS code are mandatory.
Prepaying the VAT is not required and if the IOSS number is not provided, VAT, Duties and any additional fees will be collected from the recipient prior to delivery.
