- The IOSS limit allows VAT to be handled easily for EU orders under €150; orders above this must be shipped DAP, causing potential delays and extra fees for customers.
- Do not display your IOSS number publicly to avoid fraud and liability for unauthorized VAT charges.
- Clearly communicate to customers the IOSS limit, when VAT is charged (at checkout, not customs), and the upcoming Small Parcel Levy affecting low-value parcels.
- Warn customers about possible new fees and delays starting in 2026 if you’re not covering these costs.
- Explain the IOSS limit on product pages, at checkout, in your FAQ, and on your shipping policy page to manage customer expectations and reduce complaints.
