Intended specifically for direct-to-boat shipments, Fendequip DTP Shipping offers a ‘door-to-door’ service, where we process the VAT on your behalf – with no customs delays, contact or additional fees*.
The process is called Delivered Taxes Paid (DTP):
- Single invoice supplied with correct in-country VAT and clearance fee
- Fendequip will process the VAT and clearance on your behalf
- Your items are dispatched fully paid, for ‘frictionless’ customs clearance and delivery
- Your order is delivered as scheduled – without contact or incursion of any further fees or charges*
*Money Back Guarantee
If you receive an unexpected charge from the courier, we guarantee to reimburse you any fees incurred.
Why choose DTP Shipping?
By choosing a Delivered Taxes Paid (DTP) service any customs charges will be billed to Fendequip (the shipper) rather than you (the receiver). This means:
Lower cost
Carriage and admin charges are often less than using a shipping or yacht agent.
Faster delivery
Avoid delays from having to pay taxes to the courier prior to delivery.
A better experience
You will not be subject to potentially unexpected taxes & admin charges.
Direct delivery
Your goods will transit direct to you – without any additional stops.
Alternative Shipping Methods
If you would prefer, we can also offer the following shipping options for applicable orders – please contact us to discuss.
DDU (Delivered Duties Unpaid)
VAT paid by receiver or shipping agent on delivery.
T1 (Ship Spares in Transit)
Yachts that are non-EU flagged + non-EU owners.
TPA (Temp Permission to Anchor)
Yard periods/repairs and maintenance.
Are you an EU business with a VAT and EORI number?
Great news – there is a perfect shipping solution for you, called ‘Postponed VAT Accounting’.
- Postponed VAT Accounting (PVA) allows businesses to declare and recover import VAT through the same VAT return, instead of having to pay import VAT upfront at customs and recover it later.
- This offers both a cashflow advantage and ensures minimal delays at customs due to unpaid import VAT charges.
- There is an added bonus of not needing to find or pay for a broker to clear the goods locally.
All Fendequip products are manufactured in the UK and have been verified by HMRC as having Preferential Origin.
