What Is EU IOSS and How Should DTC Sellers Use It?

For DTC shipments to the EU, the worst experience is pay extra tax on arrival. IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) solves exactly this.

1. What IOSS does

For orders at or below 150 euros, IOSS collects VAT at checkout; goods clear EU customs without double taxation, so users pay no extra tax - smooth experience.

2. How DTC stores connect

Your DTC backend or logistics partner supports IOSS reporting; the checkout shows the tax-inclusive price, and customs releases on the IOSS number.

3. Caveats

IOSS only covers import VAT for orders at or below 150 euros; above that or for other taxes, the corresponding rules still apply. Declare the real amount - do not omit to dodge tax.
