When should I use IOSS for my EU sales?
Last updated: 2026-08-02·Verified: 2026-08-02
📋 Direct Answer
Use IOSS if you sell B2C goods valued under €150 to EU consumers from outside the EU. IOSS lets you collect VAT at checkout and ship duty-free (for the VAT portion). Benefits: faster customs clearance, better customer experience (no surprise charges). Not needed if: (1) goods are over €150, (2) you sell B2B, (3) you store goods within the EU. Registration: any EU member state. Cost: €200-500 registration. Monthly filing required.
