EAS DDP, UK to EU

UK to EU delivery made simpler, no matter the order value

One EAS workflow for EAS IOSS Delivery and higher-value DDP orders.

Taxes, duties and delivery charges are handled through EAS, so EU customers receive their orders without separate border payments. Merchants gain clear country pricing, automatic IOSS or DDP routing, zero-duty support when UK origin qualifies, and import VAT recovery on returned DDP orders.

EAS IOSS Delivery and EAS DDP in one UK to EU workflow

EAS automatically applies the correct route for the order value. Eligible orders use EAS IOSS Delivery and higher-value orders use EAS DDP, while the merchant keeps one operational setup and one customer experience.

Higher-value orders

EAS DDP

Use EAS DDP when the order is outside the IOSS route and requires a full import workflow.

  • Import VAT and customs duties handled upfront
  • Preferential treatment support for qualifying UK-made goods
  • 90% import VAT recovery on returned DDP orders
Protect margin across the complete order lifecycle

The biggest value is not just the delivery price

For qualifying UK-made goods, customs duty can be reduced to 0%. This lowers the landed cost before delivery.

If the order is later returned, EAS recovers 90% of the paid import VAT. This protects margin after delivery as well.

On a €220 clothing order, EAS protects €68.04 across the order lifecycle: €26.40 in avoided duty and €41.64 recovered if the order is returned.

Already an EAS IOSS customer? You do not pay any additional monthly fee for EAS DDP. Your existing EAS IOSS plan automatically determines your DDP plan and percentage level.

For customers without EAS IOSS, the monthly amount is the minimum monthly invoice for DDP percentage fees. It is not added on top of the percentage fees already generated during that month.

EAS DDP prices: delivery prices exclude the applicable DDP percentage fee, import VAT and customs duty. EAS IOSS customers pay no separate monthly DDP plan fee, and the DDP percentage level follows the EAS IOSS plan.
How it works

A clear operational flow from registration to delivery

The correct IOSS or DDP route is applied automatically. The merchant does not manually choose the import workflow for each order.

Register

Register for EAS DDP and provide the information required for activation.

Complete the setup

Follow the EAS instructions for the minimal Shopify or WooCommerce configuration. Add the payment method and complete the Power of Attorney where required.

Generate the label and ship

Generate the delivery label through EAS and hand the parcel to Royal Mail through your normal pickup or drop-off process. EAS applies the correct IOSS or DDP route automatically.

Charges are handled through EAS

For DDP orders, taxes, duties, delivery charges and applicable EAS fees are charged to the registered card or collected by Direct Debit. IOSS VAT continues through the normal monthly EAS process.

Final outcome: the EU customer receives the order without a separate payment at the border.

Frequently asked questions

The pricing and service logic, clearly explained

Answers to the questions that matter most when using EAS DDP alongside EAS IOSS.

Does EAS DDP cover every order value?

The EAS workflow covers the full customer journey. Eligible orders use EAS IOSS Delivery, while higher-value orders use EAS DDP.

Do EAS IOSS customers pay a separate monthly DDP plan fee?

No. EAS IOSS customers do not pay a separate monthly DDP plan fee. Their DDP percentage level follows their EAS IOSS plan.

Does EAS DDP require a minimum monthly shipment volume?

No. EAS DDP does not require a minimum monthly shipment volume. Merchants can use the service for the shipment volume that fits their business, including selected EU markets or the full EU.

How does the DDP plan work for a customer without EAS IOSS?

The monthly DDP plan fee works as the minimum monthly invoice for DDP percentage fees. It is not added on top of the calculated percentage fees. For example, if the Plus minimum is €329 and the calculated percentage fees are €339, the total is €339, not €668.

What is included in the country delivery prices?

The country table shows the customer-facing delivery price for the selected weight bracket. DDP percentage fees, import VAT and customs duty are calculated separately for DDP orders.

When can customs duty be reduced to 0%?

Preferential treatment can apply when the goods qualify as UK origin and meet the applicable rules of origin. Goods that are only shipped from the UK do not automatically qualify.

How does VAT recovery on returns work?

When an EAS DDP order is returned or refunded, EAS recovers 90% of the paid import VAT for the merchant.

Can EAS be activated only for selected countries?

Yes. Merchants can start with selected EU countries or use EAS across all 27 EU Member States.

Is a printed delivery label refundable?

No. Once a delivery label has been printed, the label charge is non-refundable.

Can the DDP savings calculator result be shared?

Yes. For orders over €150, the calculator stores its selections and the active calculator view in the page URL. Use “Copy estimate link” to share the same inputs with a colleague or customer.
