Sending goods into Europe
From 1 July 2021, the VAT rules for the sale of goods into
Europe are changing.
The European Union (EU) have removed the low value consignment
relief on goods valued under €22 sold into Europe. This means that from 1st July
all items sold into Europe from Guernsey will be subject to VAT
regardless of their sale value.
This affects all our customers outside of the UK who now
need to pay the appropriate level of VAT (for your country) at the time of
purchase for any of stamps or other collectible items.
We are working hard to enable you to pay VAT on the website
at the time of your order. This means
that you should not incur any additional fees or handling charges at the time
of delivery. For us to do this we have
to register with the EU’s Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) and this registration is
currently taking a few weeks.
In the meantime, you can still order items from our website
but please be aware that your countries border authorities may stop your item
and apply the appropriate VAT and a handling charge which will be payable by
you at the time of delivery.
We apologise for any delays and issues that may arise as a
result of these VAT changes. The changes are outside of our control but please
be assured that we are doing our utmost to provide a solution so you can
continue to enjoy the smooth and efficient delivery service that you are used
to.
