Eurozone Deliveries

What duties and taxes will apply to my order?

With the Brexit transition period now over, shipments between the EU and the UK may face additional customs requirements and may face duties & taxes charges. This is the same situation to shipments into the EU from other countries around the world.

Customers will now have to pay local VAT in their country. As such, we will remove the UK VAT charge from any invoices

To give you peace of mind, our team will provide commercial invoices for all shipments and will ensure that all documentation is present and correct to avoid any untimely delays in getting your resources

We expect the picture around duties and taxes to continue to evolve as businesses develop their understanding of the new EU – UK relationship and we will continue to update this blog as and when new information emerges.

What is an EORI number and why is it important?
EORI stands for Economic Operators Registration and Identification number and forms an essential part of the post-Brexit relationship.

The EORI number consists as two separate parts. Firstly, the country code of the issuing member state, followed by a code or number that is unique in the member state. The EORI number for Findel Education for example consists of: GB (the member state) and 386321878000 (the unique reference number issued to us: GB386321878000.

So, how do you request an EORI number? It is free to apply for an EORI number and applications should be made to the customs authorities of the EU country in which you are established. Please note that different countries have different processes for getting an EORI number.
