Tax on DS Shipment
Ismene:
When I ship something to the UK from the US, it's VAT plus 8 pounds. But I don't know what's going on with the EU and Brexit right now.
I hear the UK is planning to add another 2% on top of VAT.
playmofire:
If you personally import goods from the EU, any UK VAT is charged on the value of the goods plus any import duties, so the total will be more than 20%. Plus of course the shipping company also has more paperwork to fill in and they charge for this.
Not being able to import meat products (e.g. ham sandwiches) into the EU follows on automatically from leaving it because the EU (like other countries such as the US and Australia) bans imports of certain foods for environmental or health reasons.
The government despite what the Prime Minister said, was aware of all these things (and more) when it signed the trade agreement

but the did not inform me..
"The problems have in part been caused by rules introduced since the end of the Brexit transition period that require VAT on purchases from the EU to be collected at the point of delivery if the goods cost more than £135.
There may also be customs duties if the goods originated, or partly originated, outside the EU.""
