A brief summary of import charges since Brexit for our EU customers. The important thing to note is that you shouldn\u2019t be paying a lot more for your goods.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The extra charge you will be paying since Brexit is approx. 4% duty on the value of the order and a customs fee of approx. EURO 10 or 15.  That\u2019s it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

VAT changes are really about timing of the payment \u2013 see below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So for an order of EURO 1000, you would be charged EURO 40 for the 4% duty charge and EURO 10 ish for the custom fee.  So an extra EURO 50 onto an order of EURO 1000, an extra 5% on your order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there is the VAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EU wholesale customers with a VAT number:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Brexit we would send your order without charging VAT. But, you would then need to pay this VAT (along with any other VAT that is due) at the end of your next VAT period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, you previously paid VAT on the value of the order, at the end of your VAT quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you pay VAT on the value of the order, before the package is released from customs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line is that you pay the same VAT \u2013 you just pay the VAT sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EU wholesale customers without a VAT number:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Brexit we would send your order and we would charge you VAT at the UK rate of 20%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we do not charge VAT. But you need to pay VAT (at your country\u2019s rate) on the value of the order, before the package is released from customs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line is that you pay the VAT (at your country\u2019s rate) \u2013 but you no longer pay VAT to TDi Body Jewellery. I hope this explains everything for you.\u00a0If you have any questions do let me know.\u00a0 If you do find you are being charged more do send us a copy of the paperwork so we can see what they\u2019re trying to charge and if it\u2019s all in order.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an example, hope this helps!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this example the order of \u00a3307 was converted at an exchange rate of 1.13 to give \u20ac346.91. The receiving fee is \u20ac92 but this fee of \u20ac92 is a mixture of Duty, Customs fee and VAT (TVA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the \u20ac92 charge is VAT (TVA) (\u20ac73). This goes on your VAT return to claim back against your sales VAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Brexit, you would have had none of these fees in order to receive the package. But you would still have had to pay this VAT later – on your VAT return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the extra charges because of Brexit is the duty and the customs fee – less than \u20ac20<\/p>\n\n\n\n
