What is TAX ID and why we ask our clients to indicate it

EU countries residents

Starting from July 1, 2021, all delivery companies importing goods to EU countries require TAX, VAT, or your personal ID. Otherwise, they won`t accept the package. Also, you can use your IOSS number if you are registered in this system.

Latin America and other countries outside the EU

TAX or VAT is not compulsory, but local customs may require a TAX ID from you or the sender while your package is entering the destination country.

So, to avoid any delays at customs and make sure packages are delivered in time, we ask our clients to indicate TAX ID while placing orders on GsmServer website.
