Hi
Can someone please give me a quick summary of buying from an EU-based shop when the seller is not UK VAT registered i.e. they subtract their national VAT rate from the goods and you have to pay on import to HMRC. What are the charges involved and also isn't there a £135 threshold which also makes a difference?
Thanks-in-advance
 
I bought an old car radio for my 190B car radio from a non registered VAT vendor, still pay VAT here regardless of registration.
 
If the goods' value is above the the VAT threshold, then you'll receive an email or a letter from the courier requesting that you pay to them the VAT plus a handling fee, before the goods are released to you.
