VAT (Value Added Tax) is a tax that’s charged on most goods and services sold in the UK. It’s also charged on goods that are imported from countries outside the European Union (EU).
When VAT-registered businesses buy goods or services they can generally reclaim the VAT they’ve paid. The standard rate of VAT is currently 20%. If you don’t have a place of business in the UK, then you must register as a Non-Established Taxable Person (NETP). Once registered, you will have to complete a quarterly VAT return, though this is something we can have arranged on your behalf.
HMRC (Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) is the department of the UK government which deals with imports and exports.
Once you have your VAT number, it is important you comply with UK regulations so we have put together the following information to ensure you understand your liabilities.

The EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification) scheme is a European scheme introduced to improve security.
It requires each business looking to work in Europe to have a unique number which is then used by customs officials to track goods as they enter and move around Europe, including the UK.
The HTS (Harmonised Tariff Schedule of the United States) is the primary classification of goods used for declaring exports from the U.S. (as well as imports). Having the HTS number for the goods you’re looking to sell in the U.K. it establishes your rate of duty.
It is important that you know your HTS codes no matter what part of the world you are exporting or importing from. The HTS (Harmonized Tariff Code) is a code used by customs throughout the world to identify a product so they can decide the duty rate when entering the country. The first 4 numbers are universal and used in every country and this is the number we need to understand the product and declare this to customs. The last 4 numbers may change from country to country.
To help you find your HTS go you can go to the USA link on http://hts.usitc.gov/ or you can visit the UK HMRC website on www.gov.uk/trade-tariff – this site will help you find your duty rate into the UK.
We will help you and guide you as much as we can, but the responsibility is yours to find the correct HTS code for your product.
