with the Brexit shipping to England just got more complicated. Having closed the transition period of almost eleven months, now we have to ask ourselves the question of how to manage any delays, duties and variable changes with the pound. ShippyPro he therefore provided us with a vademecun to follow, to answer the main doubts.
How to ship to England after Brexit
The transition did not happen in an organized and smooth way. According to Francesco Borghi, CEO of ShippyPro, “61% of UK companies have not prepared to formally leave the European Union. And with 2,31 million European citizens working in the UK, there will be no shortage of recruiting challenges. And the fact that giants such as Amazon have temporarily suspended deliveries of small parcels between the UK and the EU in the Amazon Partnered Carrier Program shows how much uncertainty remains about future scenarios after the transition period ".
New rules to follow for UK shipments
When shipping a package of any size from the European Union to the United Kingdom, you must apply VAT to orders of less than 135 pounds (approximately € 147). The higher orders are subject to import duties and VAT.
You also need to remember the following documentation:
- Codice EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification): both English and European.
- Customs declaration CN22, CN23: the first for packages weighing less than or equal to 2 kg and up to 425 euros, the second for packages from 2 to 20 kg and a value equal to or greater than 425 euros.
You also have to choose whether to use the service DAP (Delivered at Place), where the importer pays the duties. Or the service DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), in which the person who sends the product pays before delivery. ShoppyPro advises companies that sell products to the public to use DDP, while those who sell to companies (B2B) could also use DAP.
Shipping to England and the UK: VAT
I sellers British must register VAT in each country where they sell. There is no longer a minimum, so even if you only have one order in that country, you need to register VAT in that country. Some nations require a local tax representative. You probably need some optimization to limit bad deliveries.
I EU sellers must register the VAT with HMRC for orders less than 135 pounds. VAT must be collected and paid quarterly. For higher orders, on the other hand, VAT on imports and duties are applied.
For the management of returns, the board of ShippyPro is to “not eliminate the possibility of returns in key markets: we can confirm that a great return experience can increase conversions and customer loyalty. Our shipping software is obviously Brexit compliant and we plan to increasingly support our merchant customers shipping to and from the UK to find the right answers to their questions. "
