It's not that hard though, in the past when working for folks importing from China it wasn't too hard to do. Most of the work was picking a commodity code for your imports/exports but you would have been doing that anyway for Intrastat reporting. For direct to consumer sellers above the VAT thresholds (€35,000 or €100,000) the new regime will arguably be simpler as they no longer need to register in each market but can register with a single authority. I suspect the Irish VAT office is about to get a lot busier.
