Shipping to the EU [Information on VAT]

Goods shipped by goatpierrot.com to a buyer in the EU may now be held in customs until the buyer pays the new EU VAT fee. More information below.


"What changes to the EU VAT will take place on July 1, 2021?

Prior to July 1, 2021, no VAT fees were required for commercial goods valued up to 22 euros (approximately $26).  Goods valued at 22 euros or less were able to be shipped into EU countries with no additional fees required for buyers.

After July 1, 2021, all goods imported to the EU valued at up to 150 euros (approximately $178) will be subject to VAT and items valued at more than 150 euros will be subject to VAT and duties. VAT rates are different for each EU country based on the service and type of product being delivered, with most VAT fees ranging around 20% of the total cost (sales price plus shipping).  

Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU): This option only requires the recipient’s email or phone number, an accurate product description and a HS Code. The downsides to shipping orders using DDU are that if the VAT is not paid at the shopping cart, the buyer in the EU country becomes responsible for paying the fees before they can receive their product. "
