How are VAT and import duty costs charged if I use DHL eCommerce to send goods to the UK?

Faqs

If you sell goods to a private individual up to a value of £135 per shipment, then no import duties apply. You will owe over the final VAT. If you sell goods to a private individual with a value of over £135 per shipment, then the VAT and import duties will need to be paid by the buyer.

If you sell goods to a company under DDP Incoterms, then we will invoice to you the VAT and import duties that we advance on your behalf. You will receive a separate invoice listing the incurred costs and a surcharge for the advance. If you sell goods to a company under DAP/CIF Incoterms, then the VAT and import duties, plus an administrative surcharge, will be invoiced to the buyer.
