  Yesterday I received two messages from one of the BL CE accounts, informing me
that US sellers are now able to submit their reseller certificate, in order to
be allowed tax exempt purchases.

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.

War der Warenwert höher als 1000€? Wenn ja, mußt du zusätzlich eine Ausfuhranmeldung
vornehmen. Wenn nicht, CN23 und Rechnung 2-fach außen auf das Paket.

  Hallo Zusammen,
ich hoffe hier kann mir jemand weiterhelfen, es geht um den Versand nach Großbritannien.
Wir hatten bisher immer nur Bestellungen unter der Grenze von 135 GBP, da bekommt
man ja immer direkt eine. Rechnung mit der VAT von Bricklink ausgestellt. Nun
haben wir eine Bestellung erhalten die diese Grenze überschreitet, habe leider
vergessen das vorher auszustellen. Meine Info war das man ganz normal versendet,
in unserem Fall mit DHL. Lieferscheintasche mit unserer Rechnung und der Customs
Declaration CN23 habe ich am Paket angebracht und hatte es so verstanden das
der Käufer bei Import zahlen muss. Das Paket kam nun zurück mit dem Vermerk das
Unterlagen fehlen würden, DHL kann mir nicht richtig weiterhelfen was ich machen
muss.
Hat jemand hier schon ein ähnliches Problem oder Erfahrungen mit dem Versand
nach Großbritannien und kann mir sagen was ich falsch gemacht habe?

Vielen Dank schonmal vorab.

Liebe Grüße Ann-Katrin

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...

  Got someone asking to purchase a single part lot with a pre-shipping order value
of 120 USD. I'd like to try and oblige this member, if I can...

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.

I don’t think there has been any significant updates to them tho. So that would
make those pages the most up to date for each respective country

Also the uk one says

Which seems pretty up to date

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.

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

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.

  Hi,

I sell items from Vietnam. Some orders sold to Germany
automatically added VAT.
How can I eliminate the VAT since it is
International sales?

Thank you!

You can't eliminate VAT - it will be collected either by BrickLink (if the
order is under 150 euro) or by customs in the buyer's country (if the order
is 150 euro or more).

To be clear: it’s German Import VAT, not Vietnam VAT.

BrickLink collects taxes from the buyers in these situations:
— US Sales tax: most US buyers, when they buy from any seller for any amount,
— UK import VAT: UK buyers, when they buy from non-UK sellers for less than £135
(items total),
— EU import VAT: EU buyers, when they buy from non-EU sellers for less than €150
(items total).
— Australian GST: AU buyers, when they buy from non-AU sellers for less than
AU $1,000 (items total).
— New Zealand GST: NZ buyers, when they buy from non-NZ sellers for less than
NZ $1,000 (by item).
— Norway import VAT: NO buyers, when they buy from non-NO sellers for less than
NOK 3,000 (by item).

UK/NO/EU VAT and AU/NZ GST are directly paid by the buyer for other amounts. 
Domestically (intra-UK, intra-NO, intra-EU, intra-AU, or intra-NZ), it’s handled
by the sellers when necessary.
