Shipping from the UAE to the EU Without Setting Up Shop (Yes, Really!)

Expanding your e-commerce business from the UAE to the European Union (EU) can feel like stepping onto a giant, exciting stage. But wait—many sellers freeze at the thought of setting up a local entity. Good news: you don’t have to! With LumioPro, you can sell directly to EU customers without the headache of opening a new office or registering a business abroad.

The UAE Goes Global

The UAE has become a hotspot for cross-border online shopping. In 2023, over half of online purchases were from overseas sellers! From secure payment gateways to speedy shipping and social media inspiration, it’s easier than ever for consumers to click “buy now” across borders.

Selling to the EU Without a Local Entity

It used to be that selling B2C goods into the EU meant VAT headaches and registering a local business. Thankfully, those days are mostly behind us:

• VAT Registration Made Easy: Non-EU businesses can now register for VAT without opening a local entity. Compliance sorted, stress avoided.

• Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS): For packages under €150, IOSS simplifies VAT collection and remittance—and yes, it means smoother customs clearance.

• Importer of Record (IOR) Services: This is where LumioPro comes in. Acting as your IOR, LumioPro handles customs, VAT registration, and compliance, letting you focus on what you do best: selling awesome products.
