I have been refitting my house in the UK. The tiles I need are almost unavailable in the country, and where I could buy them, they were more than twice as much as in the EU. These tiles are made in Poland. I would buy and take them. I can see there is a 630 GBP limit for the online simplified rate. BUT is this netto or brutto? Because the final price is around 600 + VAT. The netto price is below the limit, the brutto price is over the limit. In which country do I have to pay the VAT?

Dear Sir/Madam, I have ordered a special MVHR unit (HS Code: 8418612090 , ~$2000) from China because it is impossible to buy similar in the UK. It shipped on 6th December, with "CIF London". My questions: - Can I start the tax and duty paying process in advance? Or do I have to wait until the unit arrives in the UK and you will notify me? - Do I need EORI number? Or anything else? Thank you for your help.
