Well, @lectronz win here.

Our first ever IOSS shipment to EU (AUSTRIA), Austrian VAT charged at point of sale and no import VAT to pay for end user.

And all fed in to customs declaration on Royal Mail postage.

@tindie was never that slick.

I have it set up so my staff see a list of orders, one click to print postage and it tells Lectronz the shipment tracking all in one. They then pack, label, and done. Slick fulfilment.

This is interesting. It seems Lectronz can work as a “deemed supplier” in to the EU.

I wondered how this works now.

It seems there is an IOSS number to provide to the courier which presumably stops them asking the recipient for VAT.

I wonder if/how Royal Mail handle that. I’ll have to ask. It would make it a lot easier for EU buyers.

I dread to think what bureaucracy goes on behind the scenes with that!

Trying to get double taxes back from the shipping companies current status:

Fedex: Didn't reply to my request, however the "taxes payment pending" note on the shipping tracking page vanished shortly after. So I suppose there won't be an invoice coming in the mail.

UPS: Replied, but doesn't see itself responsible for issuing a refund. But at some point provided two alt. mail addresses for their billing department. No reaction since then.

Fucking #IOSS aka "EU VAT One-Stop-Shop" regulation...

IOSS is actually quite a nice scheme. Unfortunately the administration costs aren't great, but make it worth our while @Press_Peregrine and order some quality zines #eu friends 🙏🇪🇺 🙂

Shame we have to do this though.

Why oh why are UK bookshops still not placing their shiny #IOSS codes somewhere visible on the parcel?

Do they expect #Tulli and #Posti to trust whatever the French post sends? Do they want Irish and German booksellers to do all the dirty work to keep English culturally dominant in the continent?
