They should have been able to send it without charging Portuguese VAT, as you pay the UK VAT worth checking with them maybe? Although a big chunk of it is usually the couriers admin charges for sorting it out.

This has been our reality forever, except it got even worse last year when the last little loophole got closed - we could get small parcels worth £25 or less (incl P&P!) VAT-free. No more. So prices generally double before delivery.

For Euro land... Mayhaps we need a euro correspondent or as favs says just go n gerrit.
The covid restrictions are a bugger too, I reckon I could make a fortune smuggling bike bits if I was still able to travel back and forth regularly At the moment though it's a 3 week round trip and several hundred quids worth of covid tests.
They x-ray'd my whole car when I went through Eurotunnel in January though, not sure what they were looking for as I doubt there's many illegal immigrants trying to get to France from the UK by stowing away in car boots, and they weren't at all worried by the cheese and ham sandwich I was munching as I watched them scan the car. Maybe they were looking for smuggled oil filters and motorbike seats?

Strange, I just had something sent from Israel, an £800 radio, no additional charges, which I assume now is due to it being secondhand.
I'm looking to America now, a few weeks ago the exchange rate was £1 = $1.41. Today it's $1.38
900 with better bits. Owes me nothing, Makes me smile

Second hand has nothing to do with it never has,
I find it a bit hit and miss, used to sometimes dodge charges from USA, now always have to pay
never paid anything from China or Japan,
Europe you have to pay but not from Louis, they sort that
prices will stay high in the UK, no discounts now UK suppliers have us locked in with european prices no longer cheaper,
It must be affecting the EU suppliers, lots of them no longer deliver to the UK when you add items to yours basket, knocks you back

Well in that case, no duties from Israel ! (this time)

What we've got lately is a VAT payment service for foreign webshops. Wemoto, ebay and Aliexpress all use it, meaning no handling fees + no purchaser country VAT. Really nice
It's VOEC
Apparently it started in April 2020 ? Prior to that, was there any VAT on low value items ?
I think I probably know the answer, because I can't recall many times when VAT obligations were removed.
Death and taxes, as they say
QUOTE
VAT On E-Commerce - VOECAs a foreign provider of electronic services to Norwegian consumers (B2C), you're obliged to collect and pay VAT to Norwegian tax authorities.
Foreign sellers and online marketplaces must also from 1 April 2020 register, declare and pay VAT on low value goods (below NOK 3,000) sales to Norwegian consumers (B2C).
Foreign sellers and marketplaces that are registered in the VOEC scheme already can use their current registration to report and pay VAT on low value goods. If you only sell electronic services and are registered in the VOES register, you do not need to take any further action.

I shouldn't have said this, probably.....
The last parcel from Wemoto came with a bill - thay had missed the VOEC label
Seems like I'll get my €30 back, though, probably a reward for having the mental strength to deal with the moron customer service chatbot
