Under €100? Isnt is under €21 for NL ?
i don't believe that either will be true because everything's shipping in October, after the EU implement the new VAT thing on the 1st of July - which removes the low value parcel exception completely.
So, by the 1st of July then any company selling direct to EU consumers will have to register for EU VAT - & will be given a code to add to the address so that, as a consumer, you pay the VAT at the purchase point (again solely for purchases under 150 Euro)...
...&, as happened when the UK implemented the same rules (as it's a pre-Brexit EU directive that the UK implemented), you'll find that some companies will no longer sell to EU consumers AND that every purchase (up to 150 Euro) will have VAT added when they do.
(i obviously don't know if Townsend are registering or will stop selling to the EU - but it doesn't matter atm because purchases now are before the 1st of July)
So, as mentioned elsewhere what will matter is how Townsend are working with the new EU VAT rules; where either -
- if it's based on the purchase date then there will VAT (& any handling charges) added on receipt in the EU on the full amount - since you've bought it before the 1st of July.
- whereas if it's based on the delivery date then Townsend, providing the order (not including postage) was under 150 Euros, they will have needed to charge the VAT for the EU country when you purchased - & then there'd be no charges.
Now i can't tell you which it is as i'm not the company - but i would strongly suspect that it's more likely to be the former...
...as, using eBay as an example since they're a huge international company - purchases from outside of the UK before the 1st of January didn't have VAT added, but those after did.
(they were actually a day or two slow in updating the systems so that this happened, but legally it was from the 1st)
[Edit]
Oh, & as a couple of extra notes about how things work more generally...
...then naturally it's based upon the VAT rate in your country - so, for example, books are zero rated in the UK so there is (or rather should be) no added VAT when buying from abroad.
[NB i have noticed anomalies previously with eBay where if a book is in the "Books, Comics & Magazines" category then this works, but if it's in, say, "Music Memorabilia" then VAT's wrongly added.]
&, what i'm meaning about a code is that every company (who's selling to EU consumers) will have a number to show that they've registered for VAT...
...so if i buy something from eBay from outside of the UK under £135 (which is roughly 150 Euro) then the address that the seller is given includes "GB 365 6085 76 Code:Paid" - which lets UK customs know that VAT's been paid & so not to charge me.
& there will be equivalent codes for yourselves in the EU that have the same effect.
