Does anyone know, do I have to pay customs duty or VAT on orders from Amazon.co.uk shipped to EU? Last time I bought some SSDs (pre-Brexit) on Amazon.co.uk, they were shipped from France. How is Amazon handling it now? Extra tax on Amazon.co.uk and no tax on Amazon.de/fr/etc? Thanks!

You should be paying VAT if you order from the UK to the EU. I just tried out checking out an item on Amazon.co.uk with Finland as the destination. On the checkout page I have four different charges: items, postage & packaging, import fees deposit, and exchange rate guarantee fee. So looks like Amazon is removing the VAT from the item (it was £39.99 on the item page and it drops to £33.32 on the checkout page) and then charging your local VAT as an up-front deposit. So if it's anything like my Amazon.co.jp orders, you just throw money at Amazon and you get the item in your hands without any customs hassle.
