The recipient may be asked to pay for the VAT before the consignment is delivered or they may receive an invoice, for VAT charges and any administration costs, after delivery has been made.   ## **The Introduction of an Import One-Stop-Shop (IOSS)** For e-commerce sellers and their consignments with a value of €150 or less, the EU is introducing an optional Import One-Stop-Shop (IOSS) to clear goods through customs. This will allow sellers or online marketplaces to register their business with the IOSS, charge VAT at the point of sale and remit it directly to the authorities. This can make the process simpler and more transparent for the consumer and helps to ensure efficient customs procedures. Clients who have set up their business on the IOSS system can enter their IOSS company reference number on the customs invoice paperwork, which will alert the customs authorities in the destination country that the VAT has been allowed at the point of sale. You can view more information about the IOSS and if this is applicable for your business [here](https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/vat/ioss_en).   ## **Delivery Duty Paid (DDP)** Should you wish to pay any Duty or VAT charges on behalf of your client you can select the DDP option when creating your AWB on myCrossflight. Please note that consignments will still have to go through the customs process and, once complete, any Duty, VAT and administration charges will be invoiced back to your account.   ##### [Crossflight in the Netherlands](https://www.crossflight.com/blog/crossflight-in-the-netherlands) Crossflight in the Netherlands Brexit has brought significant challenges and changes to our industry, and to our clients when shipping from the UK into EU destinations. ... 17 August 2021 [ View More **](https://www.crossflight.com/blog/crossflight-in-the-netherlands) ##### [Brexit - Changes to EU VAT Rules & Introduction of IOSS](https://www.crossflight.com/blog/shipping-to-eu-countries-0) Changes to EU VAT Rules and the introduction of IOSS from 1st July 2021 Currently, non-document consignments sent into the EU with a value under €22 are not subject to ... 26 May 2021 [ View More **](https://www.crossflight.com/blog/shipping-to-eu-countries-0) ##### [Brexit - Shipping to EU Countries](https://www.crossflight.com/blog/shipping-to-eu-countries) Shipping to EU Countries NEW RULES & REGULATIONS Since 1st January 2021 the rules and regulations for shipping into and out of Europe from and to the UK have ... 02 March 2021 [ View More **](https://www.crossflight.com/blog/shipping-to-eu-countries) ![logo-white](https://www.crossflight.com/hubfs/CrossFlight_2021/Images/Home/logo-white.svg) ![](https://www.crossflight.com/hubfs/CrossFlight_2021/Images/General/Phone.png)[01753 776000](tel:01753%20776000)    ![](https://www.crossflight.com/hubfs/CrossFlight_2021/Images/General/mail.png) [enquiries@crossflight.com](mailto:enquiries@crossflight.com) International Express Courier is at the heart of what Crossflight have been doing since 1987.
