Import Tax and Duties
Is sales tax included in the prices on your website?
All
prices shown on our website include UK VAT where applicable. If you’re
ordering from outside the UK, VAT will be removed automatically at
checkout.
Will I have to pay additional taxes and duties if I’m ordering internationally?
Depending
on your country’s import regulations, you may be required to pay
customs duties, taxes, or fees upon delivery. These charges are set by
your local customs authority and are the responsibility of the customer.
I’m in the EU—will I have to pay tax or duties?
Since
the UK is no longer part of the EU single market, EU customers may be
required to pay VAT, customs duties, or clearance fees when the order
arrives in your country. These charges vary by country and are collected
by your local customs authority via your chosen courier.
What is the differenece bewteen import tax and duties?
While they sound similar, they refer to different things.
Import duties (sometimes called customs duties or tariffs) are fees imposed by a country's customs authority on goods entering that country. Import tax
typically refers to Value Added Tax (VAT), Goods and Services Tax
(GST), or sales tax, depending on the country. It’s similar to the tax
you’d pay if you bought something locally.
Import duties and
taxes are not charged us as the retailer — they are collected by your
local customs authority or courier service on behalf of your government.
These charges are not included in the price of your order. Depending on
your country, you may be required to pay both import duties and taxes
on the same shipment. This is standard procedure for international
deliveries and applies regardless of where you order from or which
courier you chose.
How is tax calculated at checkout?
If
you’re in the UK, VAT is included in your total. For international
customers, the VAT will be removed during checkout, and any applicable
import duties or taxes will be charged separately by your chosen courier
before delivery.
Where can I find a tax invoice for my order?
A
digital invoice is sent via email once your order has been placed. If
you need a VAT invoice for business or tax purposes, just let us know
and we’ll be happy to provide one.
Are there any new charges for orders going to the U.S.?
The
U.S. government has announced upcoming tariffs on certain categories of
imported goods from the UK. If these go into effect, your order may be
subject to additional import duties on arrival.
