BREXIT (THE UK LEAVING THE EUROPEAN UNION) – CONSEQUENCES FOR EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS
As our goods are shipped from the UK, and the UK has now left the European Union, there may now be additional charges to pay on delivery of your goods. Please read and note the below.
VAT
VAT will now be payable in EU countries where the customer resides – rates vary from country to country but average 20%. VAT will be payable on delivery of the parcel in the local country. The customer will have an invoice attached to the shipment for payment.
To find the VAT rate in your local country please use this link –

Duty and Tariffs
When ordering internationally you may have to pay import duty depending on what you’ve ordered and its declared value.
Import duty is a tax that may be imposed by your country’s government on goods from other countries, so unfortunately this is not something we can control.
When sending parcels to the EU from the UK, Duty is only payable for any orders over €135 in value. Duty may apply to restricted goods, including alcohol, tobacco, etc.
Duty will be based on the type and material of each good, and the location the customer resides in. The customer will have an invoice attached to the shipment for payment.
Please use this website to look up potential payable duty charges https://www.check-duties-customs-exporting-goods.service.gov.uk/selectdest?_ga=2.24855993.2043019202.1611132980-1190965269.1588795992
It is not guaranteed that there will be a duty charge, its dependant on each shipment and each customs official around the world.

- Busy courier service depots can sometimes get so busy that parcels at delayed whilst they wait to be scanned and processed.
- If you are located a long distance from the depot it can take an extra 1-2 days for items to be delivered. The further you are, the longer it takes by road.
- International orders can face delays whilst being checked at customs, then passed to different facilities before they make it to your address.
