This article explains how you can increase your prices on Vinterior when you are shipping items using the incoterm DDP (delivery duties paid). Shipping items using the incoterm DDP means you would transfer the import VAT fee to the shipper on the buyer’s behalf. This means that your prices have to include import VAT. For more information regarding DDP shipping, please read this article.


Below you will find different scenarios you will encounter when exporting items to the UK. 


I am not VAT registered & never include VAT on Vinterior

  • My item price is more than £135

Consignments shipped to the UK are subject to UK import VAT of 20%, so your prices need to include import VAT. Should you make a sale to the UK and you are shipping the item using the incoterm DDP (delivery duties paid), you will need to increase your prices to account for this cost. 


You can adjust your prices on your listing page. If you need to bulk update listings, please email us at sellersupport@vinterior.co and we can assist you further.  


  • My item price is less than £135

Consignments below £135 shipped to the UK are subject to UK supply VAT, which accounts for 20% of the item price. UK supply VAT is collected by Vinterior directly (the marketplace), so your price must also account for this cost. For more information on UK Supply VAT please refer to this article: Article about the UK supply VAT

  • My item is an antique

Typically, art, antiques and collectable items are taxed at the lower rate of UK import VAT of 5%. To benefit from the lower rate of VAT, the item must fall within the list of pieces here and you must present all the required evidence and documents at customs. If you are unsure if you can prove that your item is an antique, we advise you to keep a 20% VAT rate on your items.
