Postal DDP for EU deliveries, powered by EAS
A new EAS service for businesses that want VAT, the new €3 customs duty and delivery data handled before parcels enter the EU.
EAS Postal DDP starts with UK to EU shipments using Royal Mail. It covers all shipment values, not only orders within the €150 IOSS threshold, and is designed to make EU delivery smoother for merchants and customers.

What the service does
VAT, duty and parcel data in one delivery-ready workflow
EAS Postal DDP brings together the practical parts merchants need for EU delivery, VAT handling, the new €3 customs duty, parcel data and a DDP delivery flow.
Beyond the IOSS threshold
IOSS remains important for eligible orders up to €150, but EAS Postal DDP is designed for shipments of all values.
Royal Mail to all EU countries
Stage 1 covers UK to EU delivery using Royal Mail, with coverage across all 27 EU Member States.
How it works
The practical combination of IOSS, DDP and the new €3 duty
For eligible shipments up to €150, IOSS remains the best foundation for EU VAT handling. EAS Postal DDP extends the model by adding the new €3 customs duty workflow and support for shipments above the IOSS threshold.
The aim is simple, calculate and collect the relevant tax and duty before delivery, then pass the correct data into the parcel flow.
