| | Hello,

|
Yes, the USA doesn't. However, individual states charge sales tax.
|
USA imports are exempt under the Section 321 de-minimas rule, up to $800
USD per day. If someone orders a large amount of LEGO from a single non-USA seller,
and they ship it all in one package with a proper customs declaration form, then
the Section 321 rule does not apply.
The seller could, in theory, break it up into multiple packages and ship them
spaced out to avoid this.
|
Yes but...
"CBP can also deny the exemption if it has reason to believe that a shipment
is one of several lots covered by a single order or contract but shipped separately
in order to obtain the benefits of the exemption."
More interesting is then, and especially in the case of LEGO Sets, Parts or any
items (Plastic Toys 950300 or 95030035), what would be the import fees in USA?
Like some % for the Country, or local Sales Tax (+ duty clearance fees)?
|
There aren't any duties on 9503 items in the USA, generally speaking, so
I don't think the $800 de minimus limit of Section 321 applies. That's
for items that *do* have tariffs or duties.
|
Good to know, I shipped some big orders there and didn't receive any news
about extra payments as I feared.

Ah just what I thought - happy it didn't change!
|
I say "generally speaking" because there are exceptions, like if you're
importing to the USA from Cuba there is a 70% duty.
|
Ouch, that hurts.
But still safer than to import Cuban cigars - apart if this changed

Of course consult with a lawyer (of which I'm not one) if you're importing
truly large amounts of Lego!

Your Country taxes imports.
Exports aren't taxed.
I don't understand the question, or maybe try to move to Liechtenstein?

I'm seeing no announcement about this in the Community. Is this official
? Personally, I do not see myself making use of it going forward, as I don't
wish to acquire additional inventory.
Nita Rae

Yes, it is official. However, we limited the scope of communication to members
who had initially shown interest in the development of this feature.
|
Good news. Is this LEGO group or just LEGO Bricklink?
|
Just BrickLink, and just for reselling. Non-profits like schools are currently
not covered.
|
Hi Russell,
Glad this is finally coming together. I'm curious, will it eventually be
available for non-profits as well? I'm sure there will be interest in that.
One step at a time though, I guess.

| You need CN23 but also of course 1 or 2 proper printed Invoices put outside
in a transparent document pocket.
CN23 should also show the TARIFF number and origin of the goods.
Normally DHL calls you on phone to ask you to e-mail them the invoice...

My question concerns the up-to-date rules as applied here to distance
selling with the UK. Not certain about UK cross-border buying protocols, anymore.
~ As seller, will I need to electronically insert proof of taxes-paid into the
customs form (IOSS) in order to avoid the buyer being double taxed?
~ If taxation is applicable to such an order, will taxes be processed within
the order itself, or garnered from the buyer on the receiving end?
Thanks in advance
|
Help pages notwithstanding, if any UK member would care to offer empirical
input it would be appreciated. Thanks
|
It's really straightforward 
BrickLink will automatically collect the UK VAT (under GBP135).
You will receive an e-mail with the VAT receipt, and can download the PDF from
the order page if not recevied.
Print it and attach it in a transparent document pocket outside.
Fill a normal CN22 or CN23 form.
|
This. Specifically for UK - this is enough. Your PayPal payment will have a 'Partner
Fee' section for this, which will be forwarded to BL's PP account immediately.
You will have to attach a VAT invoice to the outside of the package - you will
see it on the order page + will receive an email from BL with a .pdf
No need to attach anything electronically to your shipping label.
|
Thank you, guys!
I'll take both of your inputs as empirical and as an affirmation of the updated
help page. Very helpful. Thanks again

I may be mistaken but I think to the UK you don’t need IOSS but rather just printout
the VAT receipt and include it on the package. At the top of the order whenever
taxes (except to the USA) are applied you will have additional options at the
top of the order that let you know what to do. Picture 1 is from a UK order I
had which only prompts me to include the VAT receipt (which I download and print
out on 1 or several shipping labels and apply to the package just like the
normal label) and then in image 2 which went to the Netherlands I needed to also
include IOSS in addition to the receipt.
As for your 2nd question, yes if bricklink collects taxes they are collected
on the order itself just like USA sales tax unless it exceeds some $ amount which
varies by country in which case the buyer is charged it on delivery
|
Thanks. But this doesn't help to advance my understand beyond what I already
knew, in what to expect from the specific order details presented...
"if bricklink collects" "exceeds some $ amount"
"varies by country"
The effort is always appreciated though. Thanks again
|
These are specific numbers

|
Thanks, Jason. But as I highlighted "up-to-date" is what I'm
looking for here.
