How is VAT charged on deliveries to Greece?
Greek businesses that supply a valid EL VAT number, checked live against the EU VIES register, are invoiced with the reverse charge at 0% VAT (intra-community supply, Article 138 of the VAT Directive). Without a valid VAT number, Irish VAT at 23% is added.
Can I pay in euro?
Quotes and invoices are in euro, the currency in use in Greece.
Which products can be shipped to Greece?
All 19 catalogue products: silver, gold, palladium and platinum compounds, including the dangerous-goods items, which ship by licensed courier with UN-specification packaging. Compounds not in the catalogue are quoted on request.
Does Greek customs or REACH paperwork apply?
No customs: Greece and Ireland are both in the EU single market, so goods move without import declarations or duty. Our products are supplied for research and industrial use under REACH; the SDS for each product is on its page and the lot certificate of analysis travels with the goods.
Who in Greece can buy from Liffey Chemicals?
Business, research, analytical and industrial customers only: universities, research institutes, analytical and QC laboratories, catalyst and plating companies and manufacturers, in Athens, Thessaloniki and Patras and everywhere else in Greece. We do not sell to private individuals.
