Question 2

What is the customs clearance process for shipping between the EU and the UK after Brexit?

Accepted Answer

Shipments between the EU and the UK are now subject to the customs clearance process. Any applicable import fees such as VAT, duties, or other fees will now apply. Each EU country has its own set of VAT rates so the tax amount will depend on the country of import. Furthermore, shipments must be accompanied by a commercial invoice to show the value of the items in a shipment, the shipment charges, etc.

Question 3

What are the new 2021 VAT laws for shipping between the EU and the UK?

Accepted Answer

Post-Brexit, shipments moving between the EU and the UK may now be subject to VAT. The UK and EU each have their own VAT rules, which started in January and July of 2021, respectively. The UK has changed the way VAT is collected on low-value imports. The EU has also implemented new VAT guidelines effective July 2021.

Question 4

What is the Zero-Tariff Agreement (preferential origin) between the UK and EU?

Accepted Answer

The Zero-Tariff Agreement between the UK and EU allows for goods of preferential origin to be duty exempt. Preferential origin simply means goods of UK or EU origin or the materials used to manufacture are of UK or EU origin, get preferential duty-free status.

Question 5

What are the key points to remember for shipping between the EU and the UK after Brexit?

Accepted Answer

Key points to remember include: Be prepared for your shipments to go through customs clearance and incur all the possible fees that may come with this (VAT, duties, etc.). If you’re shipping low-value orders into the UK, you must register for a VAT number and remit to HMRC quarterly. If you’re shipping low-value orders to the EU, you can let the carrier collect and pay the VAT or you can register for an EU VAT number, and collect and remit VAT monthly. The de minimis values for both the UK and EU have been taken away; therefore, all imports may be subject to VAT.
