What is the Tax/VAT ID?

The primary purpose of the TAX/VAT ID is to determine whether VAT/GST should be added to your order and at what rate. In some countries, TAX/VAT ID is needed for importation purposes; it is needed to avoid goods being held at Customs.

Here are some country specific rules.

• In the EU member States, the VAT number will trigger a 0% VAT as long as a valid VAT number is provided. In absence of the VAT ID, VAT will be charged at the local rate.
• In Australia, please provide the ABN number of your company.
• In Mexico, please provide your RFC number.
• In Korea, if you are purchasing on behalf of your company, please choose “business.”  If you are purchasing as an individual, please provide PCCC (Personal Customs Clearance Code) to avoid the goods being held at Customs.
