DOes anyone know how does it work with sending goods abroad ( UK to EU) and taxes???

I've been researching for a week, called customer services, asked the post office, and no one can give a clear answer.

I'm a freelance illustrator and have to send prints and calendars to Italy and the EU, can anyone help?? Thank you so much!!

  • Hello Simona,

    The simple answer is that it's complicated.

    Your best best is to use the post office and their customs declaration form. It's likely that whoever you're sending to will have some charges (tarrif + handling fees) to pay at the other end, so it's good to discuss that with whoever you're shipping to in advance.

    If what you're shipping is commercial and able to be shipped tarrif free as per the trade deal then there shouldn't be any tarrifs, but proving that what you're shipping qualifies isn't straight forward at all.
