I am still waiting for a Mouser ordered from 12 Feb. It is with Fedex, now in the UK, and stuck in some sort of customs processing, they say. The track log shows it was notified to Fedex on 19th Feb. |

This will mean that UK supply VAT, rather than import VAT, will be due on these consignments. The new arrangements will also involve the abolition of Low Value Consignment Relief, which relieves import VAT on consignments of goods valued at £15 or less. Online marketplaces (OMPs), where they are involved in facilitating the sale, will be responsible for collecting and accounting for the VAT. For goods sent from overseas and sold directly to UK consumers without OMP involvement, the overseas seller will be required to register and account for the VAT to HMRC. --- End quote --- This is why Louis Rossmann, for example, has decided to no longer sell to UK customers. |

Oh dear, the usual degradation to the usual remoaner comments :) "That's probably more to do with Boris' change to import duty etc creating post-Brexit chaos." I don't think so for US to UK shipments. People should get better informed! It is only online retailers in the EU, and only if shipping under £135 (IIRC), who are supposed to register with UK HMRC, add the VAT, and send it over to the UK. For the US to UK or vice versa, things have always been simple, and remain so. Above this value, they don't add VAT and it is collected by the shipping agent, just like on imports from the US, or the rest of the world actually. The EU is just a small blob on the map. There is also no import duty on EU-UK trade, with the exception of personal import. B2B is totally unaffected, although a lot of mainland sellers bought into the bull and make the problems a lot bigger. There is also a lot of hate of the UK on the mainland for having rocked the boat, so some sellers are trying to do ripoffs. Way excessive shipping charges are not uncommon. For US to UK we have always had the problem that many US sellers don't sell outside the US (too much effort) but Mouser had this well sorted out. Hopefully it is just the bad wx, leading to a backlog. But also Fedex is not the best company; DHL is much better organised. Mouser UK add VAT to their invoices, yes. |

Every DHL shipment addressed to me in the US since 2005 has been plagued with problems including two instances of the shipment just vanishing. |
