    Changes to EU VAT Rules

    Find out what is changing on July 1st 2021 and how it may impact your business when exporting to customers in the EU. We don’t control or oversee governmental regulations, including the EU VAT reform rules and regulations. We’re providing information that may assist you with your shipments into the EU, and should not be relied on as legal or tax advice.

  • How to provide us with your EU VAT registration number

    If you have registered for an EU Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) number, we can store it in our UPS shipping systems, eliminating the need for you to provide this number each time you make a shipment. To do so, please complete and return below Power of Attorney (POA) document.

  • If you do not provide UPS with the Power of Attorney document, please ensure that your IOSS number is entered in your UPS shipping system for each shipment that meets the criteria. Download the EU VAT Shipping Systems Guide to find out how.
