What’s the vat situation on importing from the EU now?

From January 1, 2021, the UK will begin collecting VAT at the point of importation, rather than the point of sale, for goods valued at not more than GBP135. For imported goods worth not more than GBP135, UK supply VAT, rather than import VAT, will be due on these consignments. The new arrangements will also involve the abolition of Low Value Consignment Relief, which relieves import VAT on consignments of goods valued at GBP15 or less.
