IOSS Number
Also Known As: Import One-Stop Shop Number, IOSS
An IOSS number is a tax identification number used to simplify VAT collection on low-value goods imported into the EU.
The Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) system allows businesses to collect VAT at the point of sale instead of at customs.
It applies to goods valued at €150 or less being shipped into the EU.
Using an IOSS number helps:
• Avoid customers paying VAT on delivery
• Speed up customs clearance
• Reduce failed deliveries
If an IOSS number is missing or incorrect, shipments may be delayed or incur additional charges at the border.
