Will I be charged VAT if I live outside the UK?

Our prices remain the same for all customers, regardless of location.

VAT applies to orders within the UK and the EU (where applicable).

EU customs fees at checkout

If you are shipping to an EU country, you may see an estimated customs fee at checkout. This is an indication of fees that may be charged by your local customs authority or carrier when your order is delivered. These fees are not included in your order total and are payable on delivery.

Who is responsible for import taxes and customs duties?

For EU orders shipped under standard international delivery, you are responsible for any import duties, taxes, or customs charges imposed by your country. The estimate shown at checkout is for information only.
