    Just trying to work out some costs for importing a product and was wondering, if I am not registered for VAT I assume I will need to pay VAT on the imports when they are clearing customs, right?

    And assuming I am right on that if I AM registered for VAT do I then need to pay VAT when importing and then claim it back again at the end of that VAT period?

    Also are there any other custom duties I need to know about when importing products from other countries either within the EU or outside the EU?

    vat is payable at point of entry to eu. Regardless of being registered you must pay vat on all goods coming from outside eu. Duty is also payable vat is calculated after duty is applied.

    If you're vat registered you won't be charged vat when importing from another EU country.

    Provided you quote your VAT number to the supplier and they know what they are doing (they should then invoice you without VAT). Companies that commonly deal with EU companies normally know the procedure - smaller operations can need some education.
