Web site exports

    looking for some advice on exporting. I have a small web based business and I am begining to get a few orders from the USA (after much promotion!!). at the moment I am posting the items and filling out the customs form given by the post office. I put the value of the item on it and state that it is for personal use.

    from reading the revenue website and the us customs I think my business will be exempt from any exporting taxes or duties as all items are for personal use and the value is normally less than €200. My normal retail business is vat registered and the web business is just an offshoot of this.

    can anyone confirm that this is the correct approach? :confused:

    thanks - i had a read of that and was assuming that it applied to "larger" scale exports - would i really have to go through all those registration processes for maybe three orders a week? so max value €600. i would have thought that you would have to reach a certain level of exports before it being counted......more red tape for businesses!
