In several articles, we already informed you about the new amendment to the law, which will enter into force in just a few days. The conditions for importing goods from third countries are changing, including China, which we all like to buy from. In this article, you will learn how to save on paying VAT from a popular e-shop Banggood, and also what postage to choose when purchasing.
Amendment to the law valid from 1 July
If by chance you did not catch the information about the new amendment to the law, we will briefly summarize what will change. With effect from 1.7. a new amendment to the law regulates the import of goods from countries outside the EU enters into force.
Will cheap shopping from China end in 2021? We figured out how it would all work for the new
Newly, it will be necessary to submit a customs declaration for all shipments coming to us from countries outside the European Union. This also applies to those with a value of less than €22. Generally speaking, for all shipments up to 150 € VAT must be paid. Conditions for shipments over 150 € do not change, here you pay VAT and customs duty. Whether or not you pay VAT at the time of purchase depends mainly on the seller.
How will it be specifically for Banggood?
Many are wondering how these changes will specifically affect one of the most popular players in purchasing from China, the international retailer Banggood. Since most discount coupons are just for Banggood and it is currently our biggest partner, we will see how this e-shop reacted.
The basis is to choose the right type of delivery. For some products, you have several options to choose from, which can upset customers. There are 2 delivery groups available: DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) a DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid). As the name suggests, with DDP, Banggood will take care of all the fees for you, with DDU these responsibilities remain with you.
Duty-free modes of transport
In the first group, DDP, customs duties and VAT are already included in the price of the product. On delivery so you will not pay anything extra. These include the following types of transport:
- EU Priority Line - primarily courier service GLS - warehouses CN / HK
- News Banggood Express - transport company Comet - CN warehouse (not tested yet)
- European Railway Direct Mail - UPS railway - CN warehouse - mostly large packages, such as scooters
In the case of the three types of transport mentioned above, it will therefore work as we have become accustomed to so far. This means that the amount you pay for the goods in the store is final for you and you do not have to deal with customs procedures or any additional fees. Everything will be arranged for you directly by the seller.
The novelty in this case is transport Banggood Express, which is available for more expensive products (such as Xiaomi Mi Router AX6000) completely free of charge. Even faster delivery is featured. In the case of this transport, the transport company Comet takes care of the transport.
However, we have not tested this mode of transport yet, but we are definitely planning a review. As soon as the goods arrive through this transport, we will let you know how it turned out.
Customs modes of transport
The second group, DDU, where you will have to deal with and pay the customs procedure yourself, includes the following types of transport:
- Air Parcel Register
- Standard Mail Register
- Express Shipping
- Priority Direct Mail
We recommend choosing one of the first three modes of transport, from the DDP group.
Tariff insurance
Banggood in addition, it offers insurance against customs fees called Tariff insurance. If it happens that you pay customs fees when choosing one of the recommended types of transport (from the DDP group), Banggood will reimburse you for these fees.
Just send proof of payment and the seller will reimburse you for these fees. During EU transport Priority Line is insurance Tariff Insurance automatically included and is free. However, you can pay extra for this insurance, for example, when transporting the Air Parcel Register, which is available for most cheap products with a price of up to € 30.
Banggood describes on your sitehow exactly this insurance works. If customs charges occur, the seller will give them to you reimburses up to 60%.
European warehouses are unchanged
As for the European warehouses, you can continue to buy from them as before. Since the new rules apply to countries outside the European Union, from the warehouses it has Banggood and other sellers in Europe you continue to shop without change.
European warehouses will ensure you not only delivery without worries and fees, but also fast delivery in a few days. EU type deliveries are available for products from these warehouses Priority Line and EU Priority Mail.
The new law is being moved in the Czech Republic
The new amendment to the law will enter into force on 1.7.2021 July XNUMX, but will have a slight delay in the Czech Republic. How informed the iDNES.cz portal, due to covid legislation, this law found itself on the second track, which was a delay. The next meeting of the Senate will be on July 1.
