Re: customs fees and VAT post Brexit
I just found this one the DPD website...
Summary of changes
From 1st January, 2021:
• The import VAT exemption policy for goods of £15 and below will be cancelled.
• Import VAT will no longer be levied on goods of £135 and below. In replacement, Online Marketplaces (OMPs) or overseas sellers will be responsible for collecting and accounting for Supply VAT at the point of sale.
• Goods above 135 pounds will follow the existing policy, and import VAT will be levied.
• Therefore, overseas sellers and OMPs must register for a UK tax number (UK VAT) and collect VAT payment in accordance with the new policy.
• This policy is expected to speed up customs clearance and import of goods with a value of 135 pounds and below.
• Please note that the new rules do not apply to non-commercial transactions between private individuals (C2C).
• As the UK is still negotiating with the EU, the policy is still variable. If there is any change, we will notify you immediately.
