What Are IOSS and VAT? A Guide Before Shipping to the EU

Customs & Tax · Last updated Sep 2026 (prototype demo) · 5 min

IOSS collects EU import VAT in one payment for B2C parcels under €150; B2B imports need an EORI number registered with destination customs, and multi-country shipments must be declared separately by destination.

What does IOSS solve?

IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) collects VAT in one payment for B2C parcels under €150 at EU import — faster clearance and better buyer experience. An IOSS number must be registered in advance.

Why do B2B shippers need an EORI?

Commercial imports require an EORI registered with the destination customs (some countries also need a local VAT number) — confirm the entity and tax IDs before shipping.

Why do multi-country deliveries need separate declarations?

When one shipment covers several EU countries, declarations must be split by destination or clearance stalls. Confirm the distribution plan before packing.
