Nie wiem czy Panowie/Panie dostali maila np. z CNG odnośnie przesyłek z USA przez UK po Brexicie. Pozwolę sobie go tutaj wkleić:
Happy New Year from CNG. We are all hoping 2021 brings us a return to more normal business practices. Unfortunately, 2020 ended with the Brexit agreement between the UK and the European Union. I say “unfortunately” because the consequences of the agreement are still being determined with respect to coin purchases which travel between the UK and EU. For the moment, we assume the following has changed.
Coin purchased from our auctions and online store by EU residents and shipped via our London offices will no longer be possible at the 5% UK import VAT rate. Residents of the EU who are taking shipment directly in their respective EU countries will now be required to pay import VAT on incoming shipments, either from the US or from the UK where applicable. The rate of import VAT will be dependent on the EU country where the coins are being shipped. For the time being, we see several options for our customers in the EU as follows:
Ship coins from our US office via courier (either DHL or Fed Ex) to your home address. You would then pay your home country VAT through the customs declaration once the coins arrive.
Coins could be held in the US at our Lancaster office for pickup by you or a designated agent. We can also ship to other US addresses as long as you have designated someone to receive the coins for you. There would be no VAT applied for this shipping method.
Ship to the London office of CNG where you can pick the coins up. As above, we can also ship to other UK addresses as long as you designate someone to receive the coins. This would result in a 5% import VAT as is required in the UK.
Ship lower value coins via the US Postal Service (USPS) directly to you. There is the possibility coins can be held up using this method until customs clears the shipment. The payment of import VAT tax will likely still be required.
We realize this will increase shipping costs for some of you. We will also offer the option to hold shipments to allow coins from several sales to be shipped in a single package. This might be useful for those of you that have lower value purchases so the shipping fees overall can be reduced.
This is an evolving situation and we are looking at various distribution solutions. We obviously hope that coins may get an exemption at some point in the near future. For now we are taking the cautious approach.
If you have already paid for purchases from CNG which have yet to ship, we will honor our pre-Brexit arrangement (charging only the 5.0% UK import VAT). We will either prepay the addressee delivery country import VAT or give your CNG account a credit to cover the applicable VAT. This will only work for payments received by December 31, 2020. Any purchases from CNG 482 and beyond, and any past purchases which are paid after December 31, 2020, which will be paid for post-Brexit, will be subject to the above restrictions unless rules change.
We ask you to please communicate with our London or Lancaster staff members to let us know your wishes.
Thank you for your continued support.
