But the fulfilment center isn\u2019t going to take the responsibility of being the importer, rather they\u2019re going to put that responsibility back onto the shipper. This means the shipper must register for a tax ID in the country where they are shipping to. If they are shipping to Europe, they\u2019ll need a tax ID for every country where they\u2019re holding inventory in Europe. Shippers need to report taxes on every country where they ship to.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">For direct-to-consumer, the receiver of the shipment is the party legally responsible for the shipment.

It\u2019s best to ask your broker or international shipping partner if the local authority will enforce customs and trade compliance differently if your products are going to a retail shelf.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Will I Need and EORI?<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">With a B2B shipment, customs will require an economic operator number (EORI), which acts like a customer&#8217;s ID.

Because it&#8217;s a consumption tax, it&#8217;s only supposed to be applied to the end consumer. But with a B2B shipment, you typically use the VAT ID of the receiver, which means the retailer pays the VAT.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For example, if you ship into a business in Germany, you get the business&#8217;s VAT ID. The tax isn\u2019t actually collected at the time of import, taxes are processed each quarter. When the item is sold the business in Germany that bought it is going to pay the VAT on it then. This process is called a reverse change mechanism.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Power of Attorney\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">B2B shipments also need a power of attorney to sign clearance for a shipment at customs.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Anything going into business needs to have this. A broker usually can act as the agent here\u2014they\u2019ll place a hold on the shipment, reach out to the business, get them to sign a power of attorney for them to clear the shipment. And it&#8217;s a little bit of a delay there. So it&#8217;s just something to be aware of up front right to make sure you have that POA in place while the ship before it leaves or when it&#8217;s in flight.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The reasoning for this has to do with the overall value of the shipment being imported.

For example, the EU currently holds marketplaces responsible for VAT collections. Anything sold on a marketplace in Europe, the marketplace would be responsible for figuring out how much VAT is owed and making sure it gets paid as opposed to the seller.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">No matter which type of distribution you want to pursue, it\u2019s important to work with an international broker who can help you.
