VAT and Customs (EU/EEA, UK, Northern Ireland and Switzerland)

Do I have to pay VAT if I am outside of the US?

If you are located outside the USA, you may be required to pay VAT depending on your location. However, you may be entitled to credit for VAT paid on goods imported for the purposes of your business, please check with your relevant local authorities.

What information do I need to provide?

For EU/EEA and UK orders, please provide us with your VAT & EORI number to avoid any issues at customs. Please note that these numbers look very similar, but they are of different lengths. The EORI number is composed of a two-letter country code (e.g., DE) followed by more characters than the VAT number. If you do not know your VAT & EORI numbers, please contact your purchasing department and provide the guidance per country below.
