Taxes & Duties

SHOPPING FROM OUTSIDE THE EU

Customers outside the EU may need to pay import taxes and duties. These charges are standard for international orders and are required by your country’s customs regulations.

  • Import Duties: Many countries apply tariffs to protect local industries. Duties are based on the type and value of the product.
  • Local Taxes (VAT or GST): Foreign goods are often taxed the same way as local products, ensuring fair competition.
  • Customs Fees: Customs processing fees cover inspections and compliance with local laws.

Customs Thresholds:
Whether taxes and duties apply to all orders or only above a certain amount depends on your country’s customs regulations. Below are some guidelines:

  • UK: Import VAT applies to goods over £135. Customs duties may also apply for items over this value.
  • USA: Goods under $800 are generally exempt from import duties.
  • Australia: Goods under AUD 1,000 may not incur import duties, but GST may still apply.
  • Canada: Items under CAD 20 may be exempt from duties, but taxes can still apply.

For orders exceeding these amounts, additional charges may apply. Please check with your local customs office for more information.
