I used to order sometimes books or even a magazine subscription (Computer Music) from UK. I guess those times are over:

In addition I can no longer use a printing service with decent prices and great user experience:
https://doxzoo.com/
I'm not sure if this the best way to fight against tax evasion/paradises but I guess politicians know better 🤷 What a disappointment.
Any within-EU service that is equivalent/near in user experience when comparing to Doxzoo?

It was capped to something like ~150 EUR or similar figure per year so not very feasible for any kind of tax evasion scam ;-)
On the other hand, I think it is good for Europe that there is a low barrier for people living in UK and EU to read print media and get new angles and perspectives, right? It was an investment for democracy.
Even from hobbyist magazine like Computer Music I also give a dose of culture and society...

suihkulokki@society.oftrolls.com@jarkko note the emphasis on Åland in the article. This was not EU or Brexit related per se. That change happened because Finnish magazines were sent in bulk to Åland (VAT free because export) where magazines were put in plastic bags, postal address printed, and sent one by one back to Finland (VAT free because low value being sent one by one).

@suihkulokki BTW Finnish version: "EU:n ulkopuolelta tuotavista lehdistä pitää maksaa arvonlisävero ja tehdä tulli-ilmoitus 1.7. alkaen – koskee myös verorajan yli Ahvenanmaalle tuotavia lehtiä"

suihkulokki@society.oftrolls.com@jarkko I mean magazine orders from UK to Finland are essentially collateral Damage. The real purpose to stop Finnish magazines from evading VAT with the Åland roundtrip.

@suihkulokki maybe I checked it wrong at the time but I ordered print from UK directly to Finland a lot between 2020-21. Cannot find reference anymore but I recall checking from somewhere that I can order that within some limits without paying customs :-) Neither I was asked to pay it ever.
