    If sending a parcel by courier DHL TNT FEDEX UPS etc from ROI to mainland Europe by road, does this go from Cork to France and then onwards?

    I was talking to a guy who told me it was all routed via the UK which seems weird.

    It used to be all routed through the UK but since Brexit they've all opened up direct routes to France.

    Quick question...

    If you had an IE VAT No and a corresponding IE EORI No and have now gotten a UK VAT No.. do you still use the IE EORI number with that new UK VAT No???

    For U.K. to IE import clearances? You question isn’t very clear?

    Hi Andrew, no, I'm talking about shipping IE to UK.

    We've always needed an EORI number to ship outside the EU. So we have an EORI number starting in IE...

    Now, post brexit, we need a UK VAT number to send to non VAT customers in the UK.

    When sending goods now to the UK, we need to quote our UK VAT number and our EORI number. Will our old IE EORI number suffice or must we now register for a UK EORI number and quote this one?

    You will need both, an IE EORI would be needed for the export customs from IE to U.K. and a UK EORI would be needed for import customs and vat in the U.K..

    But if you already have a U.K. Vat number you are already half way there, and depending on when it was created it might already be registered as an EORI.. You can check by entering your VAT no at
    https://www.gov.uk/check-eori-number..

    From memory if it isn’t registered as an EORI it can take about 2-3 days but this may be longer post Brexit

    But, the form for shipping only allows entry of one EORI number??

    I applied for and received a UK EORI today.

    I would guess the UK EORI, as VAT is only payable on imports, not on exports..

    Called DPD about it in the end. They weren't sure either but guessed the UK one.

    Sent 9 orders out yesterday. Charged all 9 UK vat. 3 under £135 and the rest over.

    All the ones over £135 got texts today seeking payment of vat and clearance charge (£5).

    Called DPD again, and they said yea, UK customs are charging the VAT the far end whether it's already been paid or not. In one case they were undercharging VAT. A typo I presume. Emailed all affected customers to explain the situation and of the ones who got back to me, they've all agreed to pay via the text and I'll refund them the vat I've charged.

    I wonder are they still paying the VAT under my VAT number? I didn't collect their VAT numbers as I was charging them.

    I just tried to organise a delivery of a 15kg box of goods to an Amazon FBA fulfilment centre in UK. What used to be €13 with DPD is now €33 with UPS. DPD won’t even quote for it.

    We were already at a disadvantage with margin vs UK competitors shipping at €13. Now it’s hardly worth the effort unless it’s really high ROI product.

    Was there much extra paperwork?
    I need to replenish my Amazon stock soon. Haven’t done so since 2020 so not sure how much of a headache it will be.
