Despite the fact that the EU and the UK came to an agreement just before the end of the year, we had to implement a minimum order amount of 160€ for all UK customers. Otherwise, we would not only have to declare and pay British VAT on those orders, but also register in the UK and file tax returns there. Obviously, that is not feasible for a company of our size.
We totally understand that this might be frustrating for some of you, but there is nothing we can do about it, and it is a direct result of Brexit and a decision by the British government - not something we came up with.
Also, there is a 5€ surcharge that DHL Express is charging on all DHL Express deliveries to the UK, which we must pass on.
We have a number of retail partners in the UK who are selling our Aviationtags, so please turn to them in the meantime. We hope that this unacceptable VAT rule will be changed soon by the British government.
Here is an overview of our partners in the UK in alphabetical order:
Aircraft Model Store Aviamart Aviation Retail Direct (Stores in Hillingdon and Heathrow) Mann Inc. Part of a Plane Signaviation
