December 16, 2022
Today's ecommerce and online marketplaces face multiple challenges. Various regulations on cross-border trade make it difficult to sell and ship packages globally.

IOSS and VAT in the EU
Businesses shipping to the EU from July 1, 2021 can use the IOSS e-portal to fulfill their e-commerce value-added tax (VAT) obligations on distance sales of imported goods.
Therefore, all commercial goods imported into the EU from a third country or third territory will be subject to VAT regardless of their value.
IOSS allows electronic interfaces selling imported goods to buyers in the EU to charge, declare and pay VAT to the tax authorities, instead of the customer handling VAT at the time the goods are imported into the EU as before.
If the seller is not registered with IOSS, the buyer must pay VAT and usually a customs clearance fee charged by the carrier.
