UK lowers import limit for the Channel Islands

Posted on January 3, 2013 by Howard| Leave a comment

People living in the Channel Islands wishing to send gifts to the UK will
now have pay VAT if the value of the gift is over £36. This limit has been lower
by HMRC from £40 as from the start of the year. This will only apply to gifts
which are defined as non-commercial parcels sent between two private people,
such as Christmas and Birthdays.

All commercial parcels from the Channel Islands have been liable to Vat since
the HMRC changed the rules in April 2012 which removed the allowance of £15.
Both Jersey and Guernsey’s Post office will provide additional information to
aid senders.

Posted on November 26, 2012 by Howard| Leave a comment

The EU is expected to take a look at European parcel delivery services in order to increase the amount of cross board online trade in a green paper to be put in
front of the European Commission this Wednesday which is expected to say that courier services in Europe are not sufficient for European retailers.

Their belief is that many online buyers are reluctant to purchase for sellers in other member states as they are unsure of getting their products and have little knowledge of what to do if things go wrong. The increased cost of European delivery is also off putting.
