Buying directly from Fotoimpex may require you to volunteer your state sales taxes, varies by state.

VAT applies to products consumed in the UK. I remember, vaguely, that while in Britain if I, an American, would have bought a say, box of paper I would pay VAT while in the UK, then apply for a refund after coming home. I don't think there's a tariff on photo papers with EU.Hi Greg
I don't know if it's worth checking with my supplier in London, Process Supplies. The UK distributor for Foma is based at the same place so their basement is regularly filled with blue boxes and packets! I'll leave it to you to check if the conversion works in your favour. I don't know if they drop the VAT for shipping to the US but worth asking. https://www.processuk.net/FOMA_RETROBROM_151_SP_8x10__25-SHTS/p740597_20228541.aspx
Postal rates in general are high to the US, but I know they send with different couriers and shippers so might have somewhere for a good deal. They are a great company, really helpful and I think I've been using them for around thirty years!
I don't know if that's the case though there is no need from anyone in the UK to buy direct from Foma. As mentioned in my reply, Foma ship loads of their product regularly to their UK distributor, (crates of it!) and is sold in several UK shops. I get mine from Process Supplies.The uk is no longer part of the eu. Foma does not list England as a country , (location) from which an individual person can buy from ( foma would ship to)
I guess I’m irritated that I cannot buy directly ...... I’ll get over it.
I guess I’m irritated that I cannot buy directly from Foma ,even though foma sells to other individuals in the eu. I’ll get over it.
This has changed since 1st July 2021.With selling within the EU the VAT of the country of the retailer is applied, independant of country of destination.
AFAIK it was already the case in the past that a company had to apply the VAT of the destination state once the turnover of products going there, in a calendar year, exceeded a certain threshold.
