|
| I recently sold an shipped an order to Portugal from Canada. The buyer is really
concerned about having to pay the VAT twice.
Bricklink provides a receipt that the VAT was paid and I had attached that to
the outside of the package labelled for customs that the VAT was paid. I was
told that this is often not enough and the buyer still has to pay VAT again.
It was suggested that I submit the VAT electronically but then I would need an
IOSS number? How is this done? Is this possible or does Bricklink have the IOSS
number? I didn't see any number on the receipt.
Just trying to help the buyer not have to pay a fee twice.

The IOSS is BrickLink’s and you should have it in the Order details (pic in the
first link below).

Hope this answers your questions
I think BrickLink sends you an email with the IOSS/VAT receipt.

This message shows where to add it on Canada Post site.

Evan,
I told to your buyer to communicate to you how to submit the IOSS number.
If you don't submit it electronically, I am afraid he will have to pay VAT
twice.
If you submit it electornically, I hope things work as it should.
The IOSS number is communicated to you in an email from Bicklink.
I hope this helps.

| I normally send my shipments out via the post office and do not do anything online
for shipping. Is there a way to add it at the post office? Can it be done if
the shipment is sent as a small packet?

Not sure why you don't do it online. We can get good discounts via small-business
accounts of CanadaPost.

I believe it is not possible but you can ask the post office.

|
If you submit it electronically, yes.
If you don't submit it electronically, I am 100% sure the buyer will have
to pay VAT again.

| Thanks to both of you for your help.
I already have a small business account and have a lot of postage stamps that
I want to use up so that is why I normally go to the post office. I do get a
discount with my small business account there which is very similar to the one
provided online.
Next time I will check with the clerk at the post office since they should be
able to enter the IOSS code.
