Promotional merchandise for Hungary, at home on both banks of the Danube.

The VAT treatment depends on where the goods are delivered and whether you are a business with a valid EU VAT number, not simply on where your company is based. Hungary applies the standard VAT rate of 27 percent, the highest in the European Union.

As a rule of thumb, goods delivered to an address inside Hungary or the wider European Union fall under EU VAT rules. For many business to business orders shipped across an EU border to a VAT registered company, the reverse charge mechanism applies, so we do not add VAT and you account for it in your own return.

• Delivery within Hungary to a Hungarian business: Hungarian VAT applies
• Cross border EU delivery to a VAT registered business: reverse charge may apply
• Business to consumer sales: VAT at the destination rate via the One Stop Shop
• Genuine export delivered outside the EU: usually zero rated

A common and costly mistake is to assume that a company outside the EU automatically means zero VAT. That is not true when the goods are delivered inside the EU. We confirm the exact treatment on every quote. This is general information, not tax advice.

No. You do not need a Hungarian company, a local address or a Hungarian VAT number to order promotional merchandise for delivery in Hungary.

We are a European registered distributor, so we handle the European side of the transaction for you, including sourcing, production, EU VAT treatment and delivery. You place one order, receive one invoice and deal with one point of contact.

• A Hungarian company running a local campaign or exhibiting at HUNGEXPO
• A company elsewhere in the EU shipping into Hungary
• A United Kingdom business running a European activation
• A United States or Canadian brand supporting a Hungarian event or office

If you are a VAT registered business in the EU, having your valid VAT number ready helps us apply the correct treatment quickly. If you are outside the EU, we will guide you on any customs details, but in most cases the process is simply approving a quote and the artwork.

Yes. International companies order promotional merchandise for Hungary exactly as local ones do: you brief us, we quote in euros, you approve the quote and the artwork, and we produce and deliver into Hungary.

Because we hold no stock of our own and work through a European supplier network, we can serve a Hungarian campaign just as easily from New York or London as from Budapest. Where an international shipment is involved, we handle the customs paperwork and advise on the terms.

• One quote and one invoice in euros, with a clear VAT treatment
• Production from within Europe, close to the point of delivery
• Customs documentation and delivery terms handled for you
• A single English speaking contact managing the whole order

This is what lets brands run consistent merchandise across several European markets at once. You keep one supplier relationship, one set of artwork standards and one invoicing process, while we handle the local production and delivery in each country, including Hungary.
