About IOSS - One Stop Shop(European Union Region)
The Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) was introduced as part of the eCommerce Package. The IOSS changes how Value-Added Tax (VAT) on imported goods can be accounted for.
The IOSS allows a taxable person to register in a single Member State to declare, and pay, European Union (EU) import VAT. The IOSS can only apply to certain supplies. Where the IOSS is availed of, the import VAT due is not collected by Customs. The import VAT is, instead, remitted through a monthly IOSS return.
The IOSS can be used to declare, and pay, the import VAT due where:
- the goods in question are located outside the EU at the time they are sold
- the goods are dispatched in consignments of an intrinsic value not exceeding €150
- the goods in question are not subject to excise duties.
The use of the IOSS by suppliers is not mandatory. However, the scheme does have a number of benefits for suppliers and consumers.
Where the IOSS is used, no import VAT will be collected by Customs at the point of importation. Consumers will, instead, pay the VAT due on the goods at the point of sale. Consumers will therefore avoid any further tax or customs charges upon delivery of the goods.
Most products are subject to the payment of import duties (e.g. in the U.S.) or other duties, and other charges including value-added tax (VAT) or other taxes. If these are applicable, they will be levied and determined when the shipment is processed by the applicable customs agency in your country/area. Please check the import policies in your country/area to understand and ascertain the applicability of and your liability for any such duties or taxes on the products you purchase from us.
All duties and taxes applicable in all countries/areas, if any, are not included in the purchase price of your order or transaction. If they apply and are levied, then you rather than us, the manufacturer or the supplier shall be solely and exclusively liable, and you shall directly pay them to your government or to the designed courier service company on delivery of your items. We (or the manufactuer, or the supplier) shall not be liable for payment of the aforesaid duties, charges and taxes.
We shall not be liable for any delay in shipping or customs clearance since such delay is out of our control.
