[UK] THE POST-BREXIT WORLD – IMPORTANT INFORMATION – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER

THIS INFORMATION IS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM ONLY!

Of course we keep shipping to the UK, but with the following changes, which have been put into place by post-Brexit regulations:


FOR INDIVIDUALS & BUSINESSES WITHOUT VAT REGISTRATION IN GREAT BRITAIN

There is now a minium order value of 165 EUR (net value of goods without shipping costs) required.

This has become necessary, because of a HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) policy dictating that foreign sellers have to collect UK VAT for shipments with a value of less than 135 GBP, which is simply not feasible for us right now.

Since we are billing in Euro and not British Pound, that minimum order value may change over time depending on the development of the EUR/GBP exchange rate.

Please be aware that this minimum order value can not be enforced by our current system automatically, so if you place an order with a lesser value we have no other option than to cancel it and inform you about this limitation!

Orders with a value of more than 135 GBP are processed without VAT and subject to import customs clearance. You have to pay import charges (importation VAT, and customs duties and fees if applicable) before the local delivery partner will consign the shipment.


FOR BUSINESSES WITH VAT REGISTRATION IN GREAT BRITAIN

Orders with a value of less than 135 GBP are processed without VAT by reversed VAT liability. Therefore you have to provide your company’s VAT number.

Orders with a value of more than 135 GBP are processed without VAT and subject to import customs clearance. You have to pay import charges (importation VAT, and customs duties and fees if applicable) before the local delivery partner will consign the shipment.


FOR CUSTOMERS IN NORTHERN IRELAND

From a VAT point of view, deliveries of goods between the EU and Northern Ireland will continue to be treated as intra-Community movements.

Orders from individuals and businesses without VAT registration are processed with the Northern Ireland VAT.

Orders from businesses with VAT registration are processed without VAT by reversed VAT liability. Therefore you have to provide your company’s VAT number.


FOR ALL CUSTOMERS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

The country selection United Kingdom has changed to include the state sub-selection (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). If you already have a customer account, please set that sub-selection for your stored address(es) accordingly.

Shipping costs have changed, because the UK has moved from Export Zone 1 to Export Zone 2.

The parcel shipping option has changed to Parcel Premium (insured up to 510 EUR).

Please also see our shipping FAQ for more information on customs clearance.

This post will be updated accordingly if anything changes.
