Impact on small goods shipments to Great Britain
From 1 January 2021, the VAT exemption limit of GBP 15 for commercial goods consignments (business-to-consumer) will no longer apply. For commercial goods consignments (business-to-consumer) with an intrinsic value of up to GBP 135, the sender is now responsible for delivery of the British VAT. In order to avoid delivery delays due to customs blockades and to use the DDP shipping solution for consignments to Great Britain, the Swiss sender must be registered in Great Britain for tax purposes.
Important note: for commercial consignments with a goods value of up to GBP 135, it is no longer possible to import goods into Great Britain using Incoterm DAP/DDU (Delivered at Place or Delivered Duties Unpaid = duty unpaid and untaxed). If the value of the goods exceeds GBP 135, the recipient is always liable to VAT and, where applicable, customs duty (Incoterm DAP/DDU), regardless of whether or not the sender is registered in Great Britain.
