Non-EU purchases of goods

I have followed the forum information on how to enter VAT and Duty. So this part is clear.

However I good use some advice entering the payment for non EU goods. Obviously there is no Vat and Duty payed at the time of ordering.

When I make the initial payment for the goods I will enter as cost as goods sold, but how is the VAT treated at this point is it VAT at 0% ?

Hi John,

Yes in that case when you record the purchase of goods set the VAT rate to
0% and the VAT Treatment to 'Purchase of Goods from Supplier outside EU'

Also, when you pay the VAT and import duty to your courier, record the
transaction as described here:
