You're right. A huge Aliexpress warehouse is also being built in Poland (it is already in the Czech Republic). By the end of the year, 90% of products are to come from this warehouse. This means "Intra-Community Acquisition of Goods", but if you do not run a business (you are not a VAT payer), as the last buyer in the link, you will be charged VAT which will be transferred to the National Tax Office via a sales platform (eg. Aliexpress). Online platforms like eBay, Aliexpress etc. are required to collect VAT on each transaction. eBay in the US imposes and charges US customers a state tax, and its value varies depending on the state. Some states do not pay at all, and others 10-12%.RenoirLV wrote:Some Chinese sellers already had EU stock before. I had some shipments delivered to a local pickup box from Estonia. So they are thinking ahead.

So whatever you do, you won't avoid it. We can't be as certain of anything - like death and taxes ...
