What is VAT, and how does it apply to my purchases on Aberston?

VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax added to the price of goods and services. On Aberston, the application of VAT depends on the location of your business and the supplier. Here’s how it works:

  • Same Country: If both you and the supplier are in the same country, VAT is charged based on the applicable rate in that country.
  • Different EU Countries: If you're in a different country from where the item is being shipped, VAT may not be charged at checkout. However, import VAT and duties will be charged separately by the carrier during the customs clearance process.
  • Non-EU Suppliers: If the supplier is outside the EU, VAT is not charged at checkout. Import VAT and duties will be handled separately by the carrier once the goods are cleared through customs in your country.

Please ensure your VAT details are accurate to ensure smooth transactions.

Does the GPSR regulation affect how I list my products on Aberston?

No, the GPSR regulation does not apply to Aberston because we are a B2B platform. It mainly affects businesses that sell directly to consumers (B2C).

If you sell directly to customers in the EU through your own website or another B2C platform, you will need to ensure your product packaging complies with the required labeling and traceability standards. You will also need to designate an EU responsible person to stay compliant.

To avoid shipping delays or compliance issues, make sure your items are properly packed and include everything required, such as manuals, descriptions, instructions, and ingredient lists.
