UNDERSTANDING UK VAT

The £135 rule, explained

The UK collects import VAT differently depending on order value. For consignments of £135 or less, VAT is charged at the point of sale: you collect it at checkout and remit it, and there's no duty. Above £135, VAT and any applicable customs duty are assessed when the parcel enters the UK.

We handle UK VAT registration, charge the right amount, file returns, and can ship DDP so your customers pay nothing extra on arrival.
