Sometimes all it takes is a realist with a PowerPoint. So many Americans, almost shouting with caffeinated excitement at you, while skipping over key details. Really the second lesson to be learnt here is tea > coffee.

Now someone's talking the real thing..great video 👏👏👏👏👏

Quality video for UK FBA. Thanks for uploading, been looking for weeks for this information, too much american waffle on youtube!!

The amount of duties is criminal.

As far as UK FBA info goes - the information you so kindly impart is absolutely invaluable. Thank you!

Nice one mate. I am in Vietnam and looking to export to the Uk. You have saved me some real head aches. Thanks Rich

I have to say, what a straight forward and easy to understand presentation. Thank you

Great video Darren! A really thoughtful and concise explanation. It’s certainly answered all the questions I had coming into the video! I think I’ll be subscribing!

Darren, thank you so much for this video! For me as a beginner it’s crucially important to understand and get all the figures right. This is the only video I found going in so much detail and is so clear. Best wishes to your business indeed

Nice video Darren! Shows all the main steps clearly unlike many others. Thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍👏

Thank you for all that great information

Brilliant video Darren, well thought out and very informative, thank you!

Really good video, well explained and very clear. Keep doing them.

Thanks, was looking for UK specific

Fantastic video. Well structured, easy to follow and full of useful information. I have watched a lot recently and this was by far my favourite. I have one(possibly silly) question. Once you have calculated duties & vat, how do you pay them assuming you are using a freight forwarder like world global?

Genuine , yes very good explanations and informative video. I've imported aircraft parts from US before through Freight/Forwarders and it was an expensive nightmare twice. So done it before through trial and error but may have to do it again should learn my lesson because very expensive but this video is excellent and helpful ! Thanks.

A really helpful video, thanks for going into so much detail! Congrats on having your order clear customs :D

Thanks for your efforts

Excellent video! Thanks

Very helpful thank you !

Great vid. Do you have an update for this with Brexit? If I import to uk from China but limited company is in republic of ireland....do I still pay uk vat and customs?

i went on Government website to apply for my EORI number & got the number immediately, like the second i clicked "submit" it was there on the screen in a green box :-) Happy days

Heyy! Your contents are awesome. Could you help me clear some of my Customs Clearance doubts?

Hi Darren, Would you still recommend Woodland Group? Was looking at Shippo but they seem a little expensive. Thanks

Me again. Great video. You can see I’m working my way up your videos in chronological order. PS gun show in the thumbnail again

Good man , thanks for the help👍

Great video. Thanks

Thank you for this - very useful information. Guessing it is all up for change with proposed freeports and FTAs post Brexit (assuming it ever happens).

Thank you brother. You going deep into details, this is exactly what we need.

Thanks a lot good video

Great video Darren simple and precise, I will follow you on facebook mate.

Thank you brilliant stuff

Hi thank you for time on this video, could you please explain how we will actually clear from the port? Can we clear the shipment without involving any agent?

Wow these costs keep coming out the woodwork - really appreciate you advising us newbies of this. Is there a definitive lists of costs so we can use this to calculate if a product is profitable or not? Keep up the great channel Darren, I'm slowly going through all you past videos as you certainly explain it all well and in depth, very much appreciated

The EORI number is not as long winded now from what I can see, I generated one the other day just using my Gov Gateway which took less than 5 minutes, and to my understanding this number never changes, you just use it indefinitely. I thought it was just a number allocated to you which ties you as an individual into the customs/VAT and so they can find you for any unpaid duties.

Thanks Darren ;)

you very good man bro :-)

Just applied for an EORI number today. Actually, now HMRC have greatly simplified the application. They take most of your contact details via your National insurance, or UTR number. A few tick boxes regardiing VAT, no mention of goods or values (I think they rely on the forwarder to check packing lists/invoices). I was shown my number immediately on submitting. They state it might not be active for 5 working days though.

Great video. So even though we are not VAT registered (below threshold) we still are charged the VAT for incoming products and cannot get reimbursed for them? I am confused as to what the difference would be being VAT registered, surely we don't pay VAT twice?

I’m looking at starting a small business importing dumbells and other gym equipment from China, still very unsure as to how it works ordering from a Chinese supplier plus the costs etc, although this video was quite helpful

thank you so much!!!

Good work

Thank u

Great video Darren.....really helpful. I am just about to go my first import from China so this was spot on. One quesiton I have is that I am having goods sent to myself , not Amazon. So do you know if there is any difference in the form filling. Also I need to get them shipped from the port to myself, have you any experience on this ? As you made this video in 2018 how are you finding the importing so far ?? thanks. Chris.

exactly what I was looking for thank you,

Thanks so much for the video Darren. Very simple, to the point and precise. I was wondering in which order do the steps in the import process takes place. Do you contact the freight company before your supplier dispatch the goods? And after you register for an EORI? But in that case how would you know the container number for the EORI application? Anyone's got any ideas?

Thanks for sharing! It’s my experience that when it comes to selling on amazon customs VAT and remitting taxes within the United States can be tricky

Great video in-depth video. Have you tried booking your shipments through World Options? Its a free online comparison and booking tool, choose from multiple world leading carriers and get the best prices. You get an account manager to help you work out all these additonal charges and if you ever have any customs issues they are there to help you get them resolved.

I applied for Amazon handmade and my company is outside of UK and EU. In Turkey. We produce our own handmade products. If I apply for VAT and EORI number without creating a company in UK for VAT filling , can I use an online simple accounting service to submit VAT? When I sell a custom product, we simply make it and sent like ETSY. Amazon is different. ETSY or instance gives us its own IOSS number. Amazon does not do that. Amazon does not do that VAT itself for handmade stores. That is really weird.

Good afternoon can you please tell me what is the UK HS code for Led bulbs(home and office use)

Can you explain the 4 addresses please?

Do you need to apply for an EORI no for each and every shipment?

Brilliant thanks I want to a seller in uk Amazon do I have a company for this is there any options for individual

Thank you Darren for this useful information this is exactly what we need to be aware of. just quick question is there any problem if I sell on Amazon FBA UK where I don't live in the UK?

Awesome. That was extremely helpful. Folks I would really appreciate some advice regarding shipping costs as I am about to place my first order and getting all sorts of quotes. Based on your experience, if the total weight of my products is between 250 - 300 kg and I’m using air freight. Roughly speaking, what should I expect to pay excluding duties and tax? Between 1000 pounds and 1500 pounds or between 1500 and 2000? Or more? Many thanks.

Great video Darren, that is quite detailed. I have a question regarding brokerage fees. I wanted to know if it worth paying the brokerage fees to the courier or handle the custom duty myself. I was notified of the following invoice from the Courier, without requesting the service, although I had already paid a shipping fee to the supplier: can I still request to handle the custom duties myself or does it not worth the hassle? NOTE: the total value used for calculation of all Duty-based fees is 0.00. Government Charges: 9.68 Brokerage Charges: 11.50 Freight Charges: 0.00 VAT: 0.00 Total GDP: 21.18

I'm fine with paying import tax when buy products in however is there a way to reduce import tax when sending small items to countries outside the UK (german, Latvia ect). I don't seem to need to pay a tax when shipping to the US? Does anyone know why this is?

Great video. I have a question if the exchange rate is calculated on arrival, how you estimate your budget in advance.? Do you use an average exchange rate for the calculations?

Hello I have a question I ordered off DHgate and it cost me £41 the order is coming from China would I still have to pay import tax

I am a new seller on amazon. If I am importing from China via Air and my total goods cost £700. Do I need pay for VAT and EORI?

very helpful thank you. is it better to use couriers for smaller shipments?

Thanks

Hi Darren. I have watched many of your videos and I appreciate all you do. I am looking to expand my FBA products into Amz UK but the 'mystery' surrounding VAT fees at the time of shipment and Amazon deducting VAT from every order has stopped me in my tracks (even though we became VAT registered and got our EORI in 2020). Since this video was made in late 2018, is all the information in this video up to date with how things work now with shipping into the UK and VAT?

Hey thank you so much for the useful Video, could I ask you please a Question. what kind of con-term Cargo shall ask is that DDP, DPD or CIF? when I plane to send the commodity to Uk

Great Video . Do i have to Pay custom duty or vat for cosmetic items worth 100 GBP. Also , what is the minimum quantity or price for which custom is charged

quick one guys got a product sector and a limited company , struggling to decide on a bank to use to pay in usd as well as use for paypal etc , they all seem to want the earth after a certain amount , any recommendations ? sterling was a thought but i keep seeing bad reviews

Hi Darren, I’m reaching out to you after having watched your KZfaq video on: Importing from China to the UK - How to Calculate Customs Duty and VAT - Amazon FBA UK. I have a question, if you choose to use air shipment how can you work out the Customs Duty?

Is this all still relevant in 2021?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Is there a video on boosting the rank and the quickest way to get reviews?? Also I got stung with hidden charges from my freight forwarder as the seller sent the shipment using a specific method instead of FOB?

can you do a video about claiming vat back

Darren, thanks for the information it was very useful. I have a question, I am importing goods from China via Air shipping with FEDEX and the manufacturer is organising the delivery to the amazon warehouse but I will need to pay the duties and VAT. Please can you explain how and when I will need to pay the duties and VAT? Would I need to set up a EORI number or a Duty deferment account in this situation?

Hi, thanks for the great video. If i have taken DDP (Door to Door) , do i still need to register for customs and pay duties/VAT ? I am based in Portugal but planning to sell in Amazon UK.

Can you explain how the product is identified to be yours ? How does amazon control your sales ? Is there a barcode they give to each of your product ?

How do you make any profit at all after shipping,importing fees vat, and then all amazons fees on top of it?

Hi Darren, do you think it's allowed to import medical instruments such as laparoscopic scissors to the UK? Or do I need a special permit or something like that? Where can I check that. Thank you!

Great Video!!! which Freight Forwader you uses for shipping UK FBA? any recommendation!!
