Key Differences in VAT Handling
- IOSS Eligible (under €150): VAT is charged at checkout, no surprise fees
- Non-IOSS (€150 or more): VAT and duties are collected by customs at import
- VAT is calculated on both product value and shipping costs
- Import duties typically apply only to orders over €150
- VAT rates vary by destination country (example uses German 19% rate)
