I spent some time looking into it. Quoting a customer in Europe 1 price (pre-VAT) and then they need to figure out how to pay the extra VAT separately didn't sit well with me. So I want to figure out a way where the customer wouldn't get a 2nd bill when his shirt arrives. This started to get complicated, so I unfortunately have not been able to get to the bottom of it yet.
If you have any advice on how to ship to EU and pay the taxes on my end (so the customer doesn't pay something separately), please let me know!
- rahimnathwani 12y agoThis might be a good starting point: http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageTravel_ShowContent&id=HMCE_CL_000014&propertyType=document#P160_14425 http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPort... It seems like it's possible to prepay VAT if you're shipping from Hong Kong, but not if you're shipping directly from China.
- mpenn 12y agoThanks rahimnathwani. I had already looked at that -- the fact that they don't link to where you go to sign up for that arrangement didn't look promising for happening in a timely matter. We also currently ship all our shirts to the US for a variety of reasons (including quality control).
