You are going to have to pay the VAT regardless, if you buy direct
UPS will collect it. If I had a reseller in the UK, he would just
be charging it to you and in fact would have to prepay most of when
importing which increases his risk since I dont think he gets it
back if he reexports for any reason, I'm not 100% about EU law
though. <br>
<br>
There is no way to avoid it.<br>

I looked a using a fulfillment service similar to how Amazon
operates. Since I would have to land the goods with the fulfillment
partner, I would have to register and collect the VAT and quite
frankly its just another big complex tax disaster but once I have
managed to avoid since the carrier can handle it. Unfortunately the
operational aspect of my business already take the majority of time
and I have had very little free for development since we started
shipping.<br>

<p>Switzerland would be a problem because it's outside the EU and
we would have to pay vat over £15 or €18. Have you considered
selling through - cough! - Amazon UK?<br>
