Leo Lin in Europe and Germany: EU Sizes, Import VAT and Where to Buy

Leo Lin is an Australian label, but its dresses are searched for across Europe, from Germany, the Netherlands and France to Ireland, Belgium and Spain. German shoppers often search for a Leo Lin Kleid. This guide covers how to buy Leo Lin in Europe, how the sizes convert to EU and German sizing, what import VAT to expect, and which pieces suit a European season.

Import VAT and duties in the EU

Since July 2021, import VAT in the EU applies to every parcel from outside the EU, whatever its value. Outside the United States, Coveti ships on a duty unpaid basis, so the courier collects import VAT and any customs duty when the parcel arrives. In Germany import VAT is 19%; other EU countries apply their own rate. Leo Lin’s own website ships internationally with duties prepaid and offers free express delivery on orders over AU$750, so compare the landed price before you order.

Leo Lin EU and German sizes

Leo Lin uses Australian sizes, which match UK sizes. Add 28 for the EU and German size: an AU 8 is a DE 36 and an AU 12 is a DE 40. Leo Lin designs most dresses true to size, in structured fabrics with no stretch, so choose by bust and waist. Full detail is in the Leo Lin size guide.
