Selling into another EU country, or into the UK after Brexit, is mostly a logistics and tax problem dressed as a marketing one. We set up the machinery so that a customer in Munich or Manchester gets the same experience as one in Amsterdam: a clear price, a kept promise, no surprise at the door.
What we set up
- VAT: One-Stop Shop registration for EU sales, UK VAT and the duty-paid model where it pays, thresholds and invoicing rules.
- Customs data: product classification, country of origin, values and descriptions on every parcel, so nothing stops at the border.
- Delivery promise: which carrier, which service and which cut-off time you can honestly print on the product page for each country.
- Returns from abroad: local return addresses and consolidation so that a return from Spain does not cost more than the product.
How we test it
Before launch we ship real orders to real addresses in each new country and follow them: transit time, customs handling, delivery experience, return. Launch happens when the test orders arrive the way the product page promises.
Duration
Eight to ten weeks for a first new country, faster for the following ones. Fixed fee per country.
