Frankly, I have no idea what's going on.
I have an order coming from Germany and one from La-La Land, I'm just hoping for the best.

Nothings changed with lala land orders. Its the Europe/UK situation that's up in the air, isn't it. Orders from countries other than europe.have always been liable, depending on value.

"Major...right now you got me about as confused as i ever hope to be..."
I see my attempts to turn this into an official Where Eagles Dare thread failed miserbly. 
And the dodgy MnS post below has been reported!! Lol

I guess one answer is have a friend in the country of release, have the item sent to them & then have them re-send it with a lesser value and "Gift".
I recently sent a pack of 4 CDs to Birmingham UK & they got there no fees & no issue, I listed as 15 UK pounds & as a gift, just in case it was opened I even put a note in saying "happy birthday". It does make insurance void though as in Canada the value on the label is all a packet can be insured for.
Kind of bad having to pay twice the postage, local delivery then international, but is it cheaper than Customs?
Kind of sad for European collector, but I think it will come to other countries all trying to pay off Virus debt no doubt!

I don’t know how Gifts work now, and the 15 pound limit won’t work anymore as the EU have abolished the Low Value exemption.
Not sure where Intrada, La-La land, movie music are on this. There is nothing on their websites and checkouts aren’t showing the VATso for me at the moment purchases are on hold until things clear up.
I had an email from Peter Kelly of MovieMusic as I'm a regular customer. He's between a rock and a hard place and like rest of us is waiting to see how things pan out. In a similar way to Music Box he is expected to register for UK VAT and if the order comes to less than GBP135 he is expected to charge 20% VAT and to send these amounts collectively to the UK authorities every 3 months. He is considering only taking orders that total GBP135 so that the customer is responsible for collecting the tax.
I'm assuming that there will be a huge amount of custom lost if UK customers stop buying. Maybe the labels will do the same as Varese did with it's UK outlet, but that likely won't help Music Box or MovieMusic.
Happy Days.

Thanks.
I also use moviemusic regularly so was wondering if they would do the same or just stop selling to the UK.
Not aware of how much work is involved for registering or processing the relevant paperwork but can understand how it will add additional costs/workload.
I'm not sure how much they sell to the UK as to whether it would be worth it, or to Europe when they bring the same rules in (think their limit will be 150 euro)
Not selling to the UK was Peter Kelly's "other" option, but maybe he would lose too much income ?. I don't know, I guess that might be considered sensitive commercial information. What the sector needs is leadership and I think that with deafening silence from the top downward that currently seems unlikely, or maybe they are as confounded as each other and the smaller companies. The solution that Varese International have embarked on seems to work well for their top 50 or so titles but they would need to extend it to their full catalogue. Their titles are more expensive than the US price converted to GBP but are still reasonable. Surely this could work for others. Maybe a zoom call between all of the big and smaller names could establish at least the principle of a way forward that could help all of them. Time is in short supply I suspect.
