MERCED, CA, UNITED STATES,13th November 2024— In response to the European Union’s recent VAT and customs regulation updates, Sisters of the Valley has implemented a pre-paid tax and customs system for all orders shipped to the EU. This streamlined approach ensures that customers will enjoy a transparent, hassle-free purchase experience, with no surprise fees or delays upon delivery.
After testing with a few sales to Slovenia and Belgium, the Sisters of the Valley can now safely announce that all orders shipped to EU countries will include VAT and customs duties in the purchase price. The changes are part of the Sisterhood’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of global compliance, while adapting to regulatory shifts that are reshaping cross-border commerce.
The EU’s updated VAT policies, which include the removal of VAT exemptions for low-value goods and the introduction of the Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS), have transformed the landscape of international sales. By incorporating these new systems, Sisters of the Valley is positioned to offer efficient, reliable delivery to customers throughout Europe, aligning with the EU’s goals of streamlined e-commerce and fair market practices.
“Sisters of the Valley has always been committed to making natural wellness products accessible to everyone, and we are excited to adapt our systems in harmony with the EU’s new VAT framework,” said Sister Camilla, who works side by side with Sister Kate, the founder of Sisters of the Valley. “These changes allow us to support our European customers with seamless shipping and clear pricing, reflecting our values of transparency and simplicity in a rapidly evolving world.”
As Sisters of the Valley continues to expand its offerings globally, plans are underway to extend this pre-paid tax model to additional countries, allowing customers worldwide to purchase wellness products without surprise costs at the border. This effort underscores the Sisterhood’s dedication to reaching diverse markets while upholding the integrity of their products and services.
