Does that mean that Pan European FBA will remained as it is? We can continue shipping goods to the UK and Amazon will help us move goods to europe since there is no tax?

It’s very unclear at the moment. There could still be tariffs when sending goods that are not of UK origin from the UK to Europe right? The tariff free trade only applies to goods of UK origin (produced)…such as cars made in the UK. Sending goods that were first imported from China from the UK to the EU would be subject to tariffs?

What I’m trying to work out is if you import from China to UK and then export some (or all) to the EU, whether you end up paying duty on both the import to the UK and the import to the EU, or whether there is some duty reclaim mechanism from the UK for imports subsequently re-exported?

Last night, certain courier service via parcel2go implemented a big change. They already required 3 commercial invoices for non EU countries but the real surprise was that they made me print this out for parcels I was preparing to Ireland and the shocker…Northern Ireland. Some parcels don’t even have the physical space to put these documents. Has anyone else experienced this? the extra processing time of these is going to be a nightmare if it continues.

I read on the Government website:
From 1 January 2021, you can charge customers VAT at 0% (known as ‘zero rate’) on most goods you export to the EU.
A few questions…
-
So does this mean, as a UK VAT registered company, we will now only charge VAT to UK customers. No VAT is charged to EU customers from Jan 1st?
-
Specifically regarding selling on Amazon, if we charge UK customers £120 for a product, then £20 will be the VAT element as before. If a customer based in France buys from the UK site they will still pay £120, but we would not have to pay £20 VAT to the Government?
-
If the French customer buys directly on our amazon.fr listing at the equivalent Euros price to £120, again none of this would be VAT any more?
Am I understanding this correctly?
Appreciate any views on this.

What about VAT numbers if we trade across EU? Uk based company sale to EU companies, goods in EU warehouse. Do we need to apply for VAT number in every EU country or not?
Seller_toqEwiwRRsR0V
I’m afraid this is wrong too, its only no tariffs on goods which are manufactured in the UK or Europe.
Chinese stuff for instance will have tariffs, there is nothing good about this trade deal for most Amazon sellers unless you own or sell a UK brand.

So if I have a supplier in Germany who’s willing to send stock for FBA to German warehouses for me, am I right in thinking this takes away quite a few charges as those goods won’t be sold in U.K. but only in EU which means I only have to pay VAT and tax in Germany?
