Rules for distance selling to the UK after Brexit

Thank you for your purchase. The map is already on the way and soon you’ll enjoy it.

We are sure the Map will add character to your space and inspire further adventures.

Below we point out important information as from the 1st of January 2021, the shipment of goods to the UK is treated according to the new standards – due to the fact that the UK is no longer part of the European Union. 

By sending the map as a gift and all the necessary documents proving its origin, the import/border tax issue was avoided.

However it may be the case where the value of the goods being sold exceeds the £135 limit, the transaction will be accounted for in the UK as an import of goods and will be subject to standard customs clearance. In practice, this means that:

  • the invoice issued by the seller does not include UK VAT
  • the importer of the goods is required to pay VAT to UK customs (generally through the customs agency clearing the import).
