Frequently asked questions

The Import One-Stop-Shop (IOSS) is an EU system designed to simplify VAT collection on low-value goods (150 EUR or less) sold to EU buyers. With IOSS, VAT is prepaid at checkout, reducing customs delays and unexpected charges. This helps businesses using Royal Mail offer faster, more predictable cross-border shipping.

No, IOSS is optional, but it offers advantages for businesses selling to EU customers. Some marketplaces have their own IOSS registration, while others require individual sellers to register. Without IOSS, other shipping options like Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) or Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) may lead to extra fees and processing delays.

IOSS simplifies VAT collection, reduces customs hold-ups, and eliminates unexpected import fees for customers. Royal Mail packages with IOSS move through customs faster, improving delivery times and reducing abandoned shipments. This enhances the overall buying experience for EU customers.

IOSS applies to goods sold online and shipped from outside the EU, provided the total consignment value does not exceed 150 EUR. It does not cover excise goods like alcohol or tobacco unless specific duties apply. The total package value, including multiple items, determines eligibility.

Businesses can register directly through the EU’s One-Stop-Shop system if eligible or use an IOSS intermediary for compliance. Ship24 provides IOSS registration, VAT representation, and ongoing support, making it easier to manage EU tax obligations. Registration is typically completed within three working days.

Without IOSS, VAT collection is handled at customs, potentially causing delays and additional charges for customers. Other options like DDP require the courier to pay VAT upfront, with costs passed on upon delivery. This can lead to longer processing times and a higher total price for buyers.

If selling through an online marketplace, VAT collection depends on the platform’s IOSS status. Some marketplaces handle VAT on behalf of sellers, while others require individual registration. Businesses should confirm requirements with the marketplace before shipping through Royal Mail.
