Due to the Brexit the United Kingdom instated new and changed several VAT regulations. Here you will find a list of the most import regulations to keep in mind. 

The current VAT rate in the United Kingdom is 20% for the products that Retrofitlab sends out. 


1. The VAT exemption for products under €22 was lifted as of 1 July 2021. Therefore you must always pay VAT.

2. For orders above the amount of €150 (£135) you pay the VAT directly to the United Kingdom customs. Because of that the VAT is deducted from the price shown at the checkout at the website of Autolampdirect.com. As soon as your parcel arrives in the United Kingdom you will get a notifications with the parcel invoice and information. 

For orders above the amount of €150 (£135) you must always pay import duties. When your parcel arrives in the United Kingdom you will get a letter with all the information about the oustanding payment. The import duty rate is about 2.5%. 

3. When you order amount is less then €150 (£135) you will pay the 20% VAT to Autolampdirect.com and you will not be charged at the border. You also don't have to pay import duty, clearance fees etc.
