They do? Can you be more specific? I know that if a seller
in another EU country has a total value of sales to a particular EU country exceeding a certain limit (either EUR 35 000 or EUR 100 000, it depends) they must charge consumers in that country their (buyer's) VAT, but for sales from outside the EU? I don't really see how they could force outside states to do that.
Theoretically the buyer must then pay VAT at the point of import, of course.
