Hey Andy,

I've heard about this before, but this came to my attention again today.
The European Union will implement new VAT rules for e-commerce coming into the EU.
More info here: Modernising VAT for cross-border e-commerce - Taxation and Customs Union - European Commission

Basically targeting cheap stuff from Aliexpress/Banggood/Gearbest/Alibaba etc. going into the European countries.
For instance; at this moment everything we Europeans buy from China has no extra cost if it's under €22.

Starting July 1, 2021 (this was originally January 1, 2021) every single item from €0 and up will be taxed.

Also new rules will be coming for packages going from China to one EU country and then send from that country to the destination country.
As far as I know; this is your way of the shipping to EU buyers.
Sellers from outside the EU can use the One Stop Shop method for items of €150 or less.

I'm sure you've heard about this already, but how will these new rules affect your business? In particular the shipping to the EU countries?
