How It Works:

  • VAT Collection: Peregrine Ship collects the appropriate VAT amount from the shop owner based on the destination country’s rate.

  • YunExpress Handling Fee: The corresponding YunExpress charge, based on the destination country, is added to the VAT. This fee covers the customs clearance process.

  • Total Charge: The shop owner is billed for both the VAT and YunExpress fee, ensuring that shipments comply with EU regulations.

Example Calculation:

For an order worth €100 shipped to Germany (DE):

  • VAT (19%): €19

  • YunExpress Fee (2%): €2

  • Total Charge: €21

This system ensures that all legal requirements are met, and the necessary payments are made to facilitate smooth customs clearance for your shipments. By handling both VAT and customs fees upfront, Peregrine Ship helps you avoid delays and potential penalties, providing a seamless shipping experience for both you and your customers.
