    How do UK citizens pay VAT and custom fees on goods I ship from Germany? Things have changed after brexit, but I cannot find it easily described anywhere. My UK clients don't know it either.

    • You usually have to record the value and type of items being shipped on the consignment note. HMRC review the note and decide if needs import tax.Morning_star

    • Thank you for explaining. BTW, I remember when they said, there'll be free trade between UK and EU even after brexit. Politicians... sigh.SimonFFM
