Demand for the VESC is at an all time high, Therefore, I will be
substantially increasing my batch sizes which means better prices due
to increases in scale, efficiency & productivity. (next batch due mid april)
I will also be moving production to the US into a state of the art
facility that can meet strict international standards.
PCB’s will be made by OSHpark - Complete PCBA on US soil.
I will also be setting up warehouses in Europe and dispatching from
there direct to the end users to hopefully avoid hefty import duties. (crossing some European borders might incur tax)
All US customer orders will ship from new US warehouse.

Looking to start a niche business selling custom VESC? now is your opportunity to buy stock at incredible prices and value add with custom wiring services & firmware customizations.
I have just another question: I am currently living in France, and am also considering buying your VESC. Thus, I would like to know how your warehouse system will be set up ? And, when you explained that “some European borders might incur tax”, is it because there isn’t warehouse in some coutries or because we could face import duties in a random way ?
Thanks again for your help and also for your offer which make VESC affordable for all !
There is no tax when sending products within European Union (there are some special areas though, like Åland or Greenland. See the link). But you have to pay the VAT-rate of the country you are shipping from or where you are shipping to.
Yes, you’re right, no tax for European Union trades. I have already buy from ADS in UK, or received parcel from hobbyking European warehouse and no tax, actually.

Sorry Skirk, your confusing customs duty with VAT tax.
Like Haimindo said, with the exceptions of a short list of little regions with exemptions, every business pays VAT when they sell to consumers. They also pay VAT when selling to businesses within their own country.
The price is the same for you as it is for UK citizens, because you are paying UK VAT.
Intra-EU kick into play when both parties have a VAT numbers (are businesses) and reside in different countries. Then it is possible to not pay VAT.
Onloop,
if your thinking of setting up a warehouse or reshipment service in EU, I’d go with Germany.
The VAT rate is much lower than other counties. Germans pay less for shipping, since they are already the major shipping hub to most of Europe and are located in the central of Europe.
The lower VAT rate means that if the buyer is a consumer, they will pay less for the product.
Luxembourg has a lower VAT, but I’ve heard that they are very bureaucratic.
Germans are bureaucratic as all hell, but in a logical way.
Could almost say bureaucratic, but in a good way
You don’t have to have a real warehouse to fulfil the tax requirements, it enough that you
form a company in Germany or apply for a VAT code with your existing Australian company.
You then package everything ready with the end recipients address and
stuff all these packages into a big box and ship it directly to the DHL terminal.
