Information for non UK customers
 

It is the customer's role to be aware of any charges that may be due on import into your respective countries.

Do not order in expectation of avoiding these cost - the EU customs system is being streamlined to handle the collection of more VAT charges.

Do not ask me to undervalue packages on customs declarations, nor to mark them as 'gifts' - the forthcoming changes to the EU VAT rules have been brought in specifically to counter VAT fraud.

Do not expect VAT to be deducted when you place an order with Sally 4th – Sally 4th is not VAT registered therefore VAT is not paid at the point of sale by any customer. VAT may still be levied on import into your country.

I can imagine all this will make many EU customers very reluctant to place an order. I'm very sorry for that - I didn't vote for Brexit and have campaigned against it for the last four years and it will almost certainly negatively affect my business. EU customers make up a sizeable proportion of my sales and I expect to lose most of those.

In July 2021 an into-EU import system will be launched which may allow me to charge VAT at the time of sale, which would avoid handling fees and unexpected costs. However, it remains to be seen if this system will be viable for a very small business like Sally 4th. It had been due to be launched on the 1st of January (by coincidence at the end of the UK-EU Transition Period) but it was delayed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. And as I said, it may not be viable for a tiny business like mine. We'll see.

For any rest-of-world customers reading this, nothing really changes - the above information relates to EU countries only. Outside the EU customers have always been liable for any import duty, VAT or other charges levied by their governments. However, it is always the customer's role to be aware of any taxes and charges that may be due on import into your respective countries. If you reject a VAT and handling fee charge from your postal or delivery service and the order is returned to me, a refund will be given - minus shipping costs and a £1 admin fee - when the package arrived back with me. But please don't order if you don't want to pay the VAT and handling fees - it will just cost you and me time and money.

I'd like to thank all my EU customers for their support over the years and I hope you will continue to shop in some way with Sally 4th. The post-Transition Period situation will be difficult for myself and many other small manufacturers who sell direct to EU customers – no trade deal can compensate for not being in the Customs Union and common VAT area.
