CUSTOMS BROKERAGE 101 FAQS

New to customs brokerage? Here's what people often ask.

What do I need to know about changes to the European Union Value-added Tax (VAT)
in 2021?

Effective July 1, 2021, the European Commission has updated some of the rules
for VAT e-commerce, launching an “import one stop shop” (IOSS) for online
retailers to declare and pay duties and getting rid of the low-value consignment
relief policy that previously exempted packages valued at under €22 from VAT.

For more information about the new rules and what they mean for your business,
visit https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/vat/vat-e-commerce_en or
contact your UPS representative.

What is a customs broker?

A customs broker is someone who helps get freight through the applicable customs
systems along its path.

Where can I find customs brokerage billing terms for customs clearance fees?

To learn about the different billing terms, you can download our Brokerage
Billing Terms and Explanation of Charges.

Interested in our brokerage rates?

You can view the Forwarding Customs Brokerage Rate and Surcharge Changes.
