IOSS for Marketplaces

Marketplaces that facilitate B2C sales to EU customers must follow IOSS regulations. This applies to platforms selling low-value goods (€150 or less), as VAT is now collected at the point of sale.

Marketplaces registered under IOSS collect and report VAT at checkout, preventing unexpected charges for buyers. VAT is paid in one EU country through an intermediary, streamlining tax compliance.

IOSS simplifies VAT reporting, accelerates customs clearance, and ensures pricing transparency for EU buyers. By reducing delays and unexpected fees, it enhances the purchasing experience and seller efficiency.

Certain marketplaces must collect, declare, and pay VAT for shipments under €150. Sellers using these platforms will not handle VAT directly, as the marketplace includes it in the total cost at checkout.

IOSS only applies to consignments valued at €150 or less. If multiple items in an order exceed this threshold, VAT must be paid upon import, following standard customs procedures.

Yes, IOSS speeds up customs processing by allowing pre-paid VAT collection. Shipments covered under IOSS avoid additional VAT payments at the border, reducing delays and improving delivery times.

You can track shipments from platforms like Amazon, eBay, or Etsy using a tracking number. Ship24 provides real-time tracking, offering updates on delivery progress without requiring VAT payment details.
