New Tax Configuration for EU - What you need to know

Hi

Ok after much thinking and losing lots of business to EU customers as we are B2C, we are UK based, we have set up markets finally for EU and international as well as USA etc.

We upgraded the plan to Advanced so duty and taxes are auto worked out per market by shopify when we export from UK.

OK now to further increase our sales we have decided that items we cant ship into EU we will have sent by eu facory to a nethewrlands warehouse so we can list them in the EU MARKET section and sell frictionless from EU to EU…to do that we are applying for an NL EU VAT number as required.

Now…my questions are this, if someone in france buys from our EU LOCATION in shopify will it be sent without any duties as eu to eu OR will shopify still charge the duty and or VAT as my SHOPIFY is UK Based???

If they order items i stock in uk that are ok to export i understand it will charge duty and or vat from my other UK LOCATION on shopify?

How do i set that up so eu location doesnt charge them will it auto do that, i think not, so although they maybe in eu and we send from eu they will wrongly be charged duty?
