Important Information About VAT and Customs Fees
Since the United Kingdom is not an EU country, VAT and customs fees apply to shipments to and from EU countries. How these are handled depends on the delivery method:
Parcel Delivery
For parcel deliveries to the UK from countries in the EU, VAT and customs duties will apply. These charges are typically invoiced by the carrier (e.g., FedEx).
Node Delivery
For node deliveries, an import fee is charged by Auctionet. This fee includes but is not limited to:
- Administrative costs
- Documentation fees
- Handling charges
- Any applicable customs duties and VAT
It is important to note that you cannot rely on just the customs duty rate as the only cost. The import fee consists of multiple components, with the customs duty being only one part of the total cost.
