EU TAX & DUTY REQUIREMENTS

VAT & DUTY

Value Added Tax (VAT) threshold for the EU is EUR 0. VAT is required to be paid on all parcels originating outside of the EU and destined for the EU regardless of the value of the goods.

SEKO strongly recommends utilising a DDP service and obtaining an IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) number and collecting VAT at checkout to avoid transit delays, slowed clearance, and additional fees, which often lead to refused or abandoned packages and a negative customer experience.

The Duty threshold for the EU is currently set to EUR 150. SEKO recommends retailers utilise a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) service to facilitate fast delivery of a high volume of parcels to end customers in the EU.
