Your frequently asked questions

Do I have to pay EU import VAT?

We have two different solutions, but the answer in short is no.

Under our first solution, you would hire an EU VAT number from a VAT agent on a Pay-As-You-Go basis. As it’s their VAT number, they perform the pay and reclaim resulting in no import VAT to pay by you.

Our second solution is to apply for your own EU VAT number. Having your own VAT number will mean you having to make VAT and INTRASTAT returns but still not pay any VAT.

Do I have to pay import duty?

In accordance with the GB-EU Free Trade Agreement, over 95% of commodities of GB origin are duty free. Under DDP however, any duty payable would be charged back to the GB shipper. That’s OK though – all duties and clearance costs are predictable and could be charged on to your EU customer in a simplified, all-in rate.

Is this working for others?

We have an increasing number of shippers who send part and dedicated shipments to Europe using EasyEU. Read the testimonials on page four!

It sounds too good to be true. What are you hiding?

Nothing. All of our shipment costs will be clearly spelled out allowing you to recover and profit from them if you wish in your “all in” quote to your customer. What’s more, as you’re removing the Transit (T1) procedure, you’re removing that cost and you should see a reduction in transport fees too.

What our customers say

It gave us back control of the shipping process…

From the moment the results of the Brexit vote were released, we were determined to deliver to our clients as they had been used to. A lot of our sales contracts were on DAP Incoterms and those early shipments and transit declarations were nightmare-ish! Often the buyer was not used to and therefore not set up for importing which caused a raft of problems. Espace introduced the idea of DDP in an early post-Brexit webinar and we began discussions then. It gave us back control of the shipping process, delivery time and costs. In all honesty, our clients and ourselves, cannot wait to ship everything into Europe using DDP.

We pay no VAT or duty…

We worked with Espace for years before Brexit but unfortunately, our need to sell DDP into Europe couldn’t be met by them in 2021. A change in regulations in early 2022 meant we could not ship anything via our established DDP route into Germany and I called Espace to see if they could offer a solution. I was really surprised by what they offered and the ease of implementation. We pay no import VAT or duty, costs are predictable and easily recoverable from our client. We use EasyEU to ship to Germany, Holland, Italy and Hungary. It works very well.
