Are there any other taxes or duties I will have to pay?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is charged automatically on qualifying goods for delivery within the EU or European Economic Area; certain goods such as children’s clothing may be exempt. Deliveries to America and the rest of the world are exempt and are charged at ex-VAT prices.
In our experience, deliveries outside the EU mostly arrive without further duties or taxes being charged. But your local customs authorities may charge import duties in individual cases. Unfortunately this is often highly inconsistent and impossible for us to predict, particularly in the US. But remember, as you don’t pay the 17.5% VAT that EU customers must, you will still almost always be getting it for less than us!
Like all international retailers, we can take no responsibility for such taxes, or for any goods seized by import authorities due to local regulations, such as concerning organic matter or weaponry. We endeavour to do our best to describe shipments in customs-friendly terms and to avoid shipping items to countries where problem issues may arise (e.g. we do not ship sealskin sporrans to the US.) But ultimate responsibility must lie with the customer and if you are in any doubt, please check with your local authorities before placing any order.
