INFORMATION REQUEST ON DUTY COSTS FROM UK TO ITALY, EORI CODE ETC..
Good morning, I need to buy an engine for a car from the United Kingdom that costs €1220 + €145 shipping, and I’d like to ask if anyone knows what percentage of customs duties has to be paid. Also, I was reading here on the forum and someone said that to avoid paying VAT twice, you need to have a document issued to attach to the customs paperwork in which the seller declares that the VAT has already been paid on Ebay, but on another site I read that this "rule" only applies to amounts under €150. Could someone kindly explain to me how it works? I’d really appreciate it. Also, the seller has asked me for the EORI code, could someone explain this to me too?
Thanks so much in advance to everyone who helps me,
Sara

Mentore2 years agoEbay collects VAT only up to 150 euros, so you’ll pay duties, VAT and fees directly to the courier.
The TARIC code for the engine should be 8708 9997 90 and should incur a duty of 3.5%
In Italy, the EORI code for each company entity corresponds to: the VAT number preceded by “IT”
For a private individual, the tax code preceded by “IT”
