Shipping Duties & Taxes
The one subject that we hate but can't avoid so...
UK Customers and deliveries that stay in the UK |
|
If you are a UK customer having your order delivered to a UK address then you will have 20% VAT added to the cost of your order. If you are a NON UK customer having your order delivered to a UK address then you will have 20% VAT added to the cost of your order. If you are a NON UK customer collecting your order in person or by a shipper (other than those mentioned below) from a UK address then you will have 20% VAT added - this can be refunded on reciept of all correct shipping documents, please ask. If you are a NON UK customer having your order collected by Fedex, UPS, DHL or similar big name couriers then the will not be VAT added. Any goods shipped to Northern Ireland are subject to UK added VAT @ 20%, as N.I. remains part of the UK's VAT system. Orders delivered to Ireland are subject to EU tax rules. |
US Customers |
|
All imports into the USA face tarrifs which are currently (as far as we know):
This is usually collected for the Government by the Postal service or carrier and can be often be called a Brokerage Fee, or Import tax etc. There may also be additional state charges and handling fees. These tariffs MUST be paid otherwise your order will be returned to the UK and will face re-shipping costs. |
EU Customers |
|
All orders being shipped from the UK to the EU do not have any UK VAT or tax applied, however you will have your own countries VAT / TVA rate applied. You must pay this other wise your order will be returned to the UK and will face re-shipping costs. |
Customers outside the EU |
|
If your delivery address is outside of the EU, you may have to pay import duties and taxes which are levied once the shipment reaches your country. All international shipments may be subject to cross-border inspections by customs authorities, while customs policies vary widely from country to country. You must meet any additional charges for customs clearance and we recommend that you contact your local customs office for further information. You must pay this other wise your order will be returned to the UK and will face re-shipping costs. |
