The European Union(EU) has introduced new rules governing the value-added tax (VAT) applies to all parcels that ship across to EU countries. If you\u2019ve been shipping a parcel to European countries, then you should know that custom checking might causes the parcel to be delayed to your customer\/ recipients.

If Item Value Up To EUR150 \ud83d\udc49\u00a0For item value\u00a0up to EUR 150:- Payment of VAT will need to be charged at the point of sale (before reaching EU customs). VAT will need to be declared via Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS). 12-digit IOSS number will need to be included in your shipping details.
