Hello,

When filtering seller location to European Union, UK is still visable.

Here in Sweden there is an extra fee for orders from countries outside EU, and
that fee applies for orders from UK. The fee is a minimum of 75 SEK and up to
125 SEK depending on the cost of the order.

Luckily I did look this up before making any order from UK, but it might be good
to fix the filtering system and remove UK from the EU list.

Have a good day!

Agree that will be helpful for EU users but not until January, UK is in the EU
until 31st January 2021

No, we are actually out of the EU already. We are still subject to EU laws and
the customs union though.

The UK is still in the EU customs union. The transition period runs until the
end of the year. So what is this fee for?

Oh yes I see now that they have written its from 1 jaunuary 2021. So I did miss
that part, my bad. I think the fee is to cover the administration cost while
they controlling the VAT-declaration of the product and the minimum cost is 75
SEK, and if the product is worth over 1700 SEK you have to pay a TOLL and then
the cost is 125 SEK instead. I think VAT is the english term, the tax of the
item you buy. This fee is for buyers in Sweden only as far as I know.

The fee is not applicable when ordering from other EU-countries because it counts
as a domestic trade.

Right, but it should n be applied from anything coming in from the UK yet, should
it? We can still import items from the EU without paying extra tax on them. And
we can still send items to the EU without customs labels. At least for now!

The UK is now out of the EU and if I buy from there in Denmark I can be facing
bills from DKK 160-250 from the national post service even on small orders that
cost less, so it would be very nice to have them removed now when they are out!
