Dear Valued Customer,
At Adams Aviation, we are committed to providing a straightforward and efficient shipping experience for our EU customers. Below, you’ll find key information on how we handle VAT, customs duties, and shipping to ensure a seamless process.
VAT
We do not charge VAT on shipments to EU destinations. However, as with all imports from outside the EU, local VAT may be applied upon entry into your country.
If you have a valid VAT number, you should be able to reclaim any VAT paid through your local tax authority. Many EU countries also offer VAT deferment schemes to help businesses manage these costs, so we recommend consulting your local customs office for more details.
Duties & Customs Clearance
For aviation parts, customs duties are suspended when imported into the EU with an Authorised Release Certificate (EASA Form 1, FAA 8130-3, or equivalent). You can refer to the official EU guidance here: EU Customs Duty Suspension.
To simplify the customs process, Adams Aviation offers UPS WorldEase and Europa Flow services, which provide:
✅ Faster deliveries with streamlined customs clearance
✅ All duties and taxes covered by us – no hidden fees or unexpected charges
✅ Reduced paperwork for a hassle-free experience
Shipping & Support
We offer a variety of shipping options to suit your needs. Our experienced sales team is available to help you choose the most efficient and cost-effective shipping method for your order.
We work with a trusted network of couriers and freight forwarders, ensuring a smooth and reliable delivery process across the EU. If you need guidance on the best shipping option for your location, we’re here to help.
