  How to pay tax on orders over 150 euros? What is the standard amount of tax in the end?	For cross-border orders over 150 euros, merchants and consumers shall negotiate and pay tax, and the tax shall be calculated according to the amount of goods declared by the merchant. If the DDP mode is used, the merchant pays taxes to the logistics service provider in advance. If the DDU mode is used, the buyer will be notified to pay the tax after the goods arrive in the destination country.
  A consumer places multiple orders at the same time, and cannot deliver goods together, resulting in different orders receiving times. How to solve them?	In order to ensure the smooth progress of the order, the tax payment information needs that the order and the logistics order number should correspond one by one, so the front desk of the delivery after the tax reform will restrict the combined delivery. It is recommended to guide consumers to merge order/communication instructions.
  Why is the merchant ordering limit, and the platform ordering is not affected?	The two are not the same concept. The platform's joint order plan arises when consumers place orders, which is essentially an order; the merchant's spontaneous order is generated by the logistics link after the consumer transaction, which is essentially two orders.
  If the two orders are merged into one package and shipped by offline express, will there be a VAT tax twice?	Cross-border order platforms under 150 euros for individual buyers will collect and pay VAT on behalf of others. After tax reform, the shipping rules will restrict consolidated delivery. If the secondary taxation problem arising from violations requires the merchant to bear it.
  The inventory of overseas warehouses has been paid customs duties and imported VAT. Why does the platform have to withhold and pay? Is tax paid repeatedly? How can merchants refund taxes?	According to the requirements of EU VAT regulations, e-commerce platforms have the obligation to collect and pay VAT on behalf of all goods sold by sellers of non-EU companies through overseas warehouses. The value-added tax you pay in the import link can be refunded to the tax bureau in accordance with the law, which will not cause duplicate taxation on the value-added tax. The documents that may need to be used for import value-added tax refund include your transaction details ( AliExpress sales information can be downloaded in the background), customs declaration documents imported with your tax number, etc. For details, please consult your tax consultant. You can also further find out from your tax adviser whether you can apply for import VAT deferred treatment to optimize the cash flow of import VAT. Other taxes and fees, such as customs duties, are still your own responsibility for compliance.
  If the merchant's VAT tax ID fails to come out on July 1, can't the overseas warehouse be sold?	There is no tax number, and the front desk of AE closes the delivery permission. For other official warehouse delivery functions, please contact Cainiao Overseas Warehouse Xiaoer.
  Do third-party overseas warehouses need vat information just like official warehouses?	Yes, the tripartite warehouse requires the same requirements as the official warehouse and needs to submit vat information.
  After collecting taxes from overseas warehouses, do we still need to pay VAT tax when our merchants declare VAT quarterly?	You still need to submit a VAT return to the tax bureau, but the value-added tax that the platform has withheld does not need to be repaid. For details, please consult your tax agent.
  What should I do if the company's English name is not exactly the same as the Chinese name when submitting the overseas warehouse VAT?	Provide information that proves that the two are the same company: 1. Record of foreign trade operators; 2. Notarial certificate; 3. Trademark certificate (the trademark contains the keyword of VAT subject name)
  Regarding overseas warehouse tax refund, how should self-owned overseas warehouses obtain import declaration documents?	If you have your own overseas warehouse, please contact the cargo carrier sent overseas to you.
  EU overseas warehouse orders cannot be shipped with cross-border logistics. What does cross-border logistics mean?	Cross-border logistics generally refers to domestic delivery, that is, overseas warehouse orders are not allowed to be changed to domestic delivery.
  Do I need to connect each customer's order number to the logistics provider one by one when using unofficial logistics? Or can I system synchronize the IOSS tax ID?	Unofficial logistics channels are not synchronized with IOS numbers. Individual buyers collect and pay VAT orders on platforms below 150 euros across borders. At present, merchants are required to 1. IOSS NUMBER, 2. Correct value of the goods (after discount), 3. Order number three information synchronization logistics service providers to ensure package customs clearance.
  How to get the IOSS number? Will an order customer produce after paying it?	After 7.1, you can view the IOSS number in the merchant background [Transaction]-[Tax Administration], or in [Transaction]-[Order]-[Export Order].
  When do Ioss codes need to be provided (such as commercial express?) How to provide it?	Individual buyers collect and pay VAT orders on platforms below 150 euros across borders. Using non-rookie official lines requires merchants to provide the platform IOSS number to logistics service providers.
  Can consumers see whether they pay taxes on the merchant side?	Merchants can check whether the order package is taxed, and the transaction details can also see the tax.
