International Compliance
VAT, EORI, OSS/IOSS and EPR for cross-border sellers
Selling into another country can create registration and reporting duties that have nothing to do with where your company is based, and they usually surface after the sales have already started. Tell us what you sell and where; we introduce the enquiry to independent specialists who do the work.
Areas
What we route enquiries for
Foreign VAT registration
Triggered by holding stock abroad, crossing a local threshold or supplying local customers - not by where your company is registered.

The customs identifier for moving goods. Trading both GB and EU usually means two separate numbers.

EU schemes that collapse many cross-border consumer sales into a single return instead of registrations in each country.

Producer responsibility for packaging, electricals, batteries and textiles you place on a market. Easy to miss until a marketplace suspends your listings.

Use the cross-border navigator
A few questions about your products, customers and markets, and it flags the areas that commonly apply - then lets you send one enquiry covering all of them. Orientation, not tax or legal advice.
FAQ
How cross-border referrals work
Does StandardsDesk complete these registrations?
No. We give no tax, customs or legal advice and we do not carry out VAT, EORI, OSS/IOSS or EPR registrations. We introduce enquiries to independent specialists and may receive a referral fee.
I don't know which of these apply to me - where do I start?
Run the cross-border navigator. A few questions about what you sell and where, and it flags the areas that usually apply. Orientation, not advice.
Can one specialist handle several countries?
Often, yes. Many cover multiple jurisdictions directly or through local partners. List the countries in the enquiry form so we can route it to someone who covers them.
What happens to my enquiry?
It is stored and, where an active routing arrangement matches your situation, passed to a suitable independent specialist who contacts you. If nothing matches, it stays with us as unassigned rather than being sent somewhere unsuitable.
