Importing into the UK from EU, am I doing it correctly?

I want to regularly purchase stock from a supplier in the Netherlands, to sell in the UK via my company. I have placed a trial order with them for a couple hundred pounds and the stock arrived today via DPD. DPD charged import VAT and custom duty as I expected. I had given the supplier in the Netherlands my company EORI number, VAT number and company number, which they have provided to DPD. Should I now expect to receive a C79 certificate within the next few weeks? Or have I completely misunderstood the process? Thanks for any help.

Hi You won’t be sent a C79 but instead you need to download it yourself. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/manage-your-import-duties-and-vat-accounts You will only get a C79 if you are VAT registered As an alternative again if you are VAT registered you may be able to use postponed vat accounting PVA meaning you don’t pay the VAT up front but account for it via your VAT return . You will need to inform your carrier that you want to do this.Statements for this are also downloaded from the same link as above.

Hi 5k1ny,
If you have been charged import VAT by DPD and they have used your details correctly you should receive C79 certificate.
You can access C79 online, please see below link for more information.

You can also discuss postpone VAT accounting with DPD as alternative of paying the import vat and claiming it back.
Thank you.
