PLEASE NOTE
FOR EU AND INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS (NON UK)
Since the United Kingdom left the European Union on 1st January 2020, please be aware that you may be liable to pay sales tax (also known as VAT, TVA, or GST) and import duty when our parcel arrives in your country.
For customers outside the United Kingdom, the value of goods in your parcel will affect the price that you pay in import tax and duty. For customers in the EU, generally, items below EUR22 can be imported completely tax-free. Above this amount, sales tax is charged at between 20% and 25% on the value of goods depending on the current sales tax rate in your country.
Import duty is an additional tax which is charged on order values over approximately EUR150. Duty rates vary depending on the type of product being imported, and vary between 5% and typically, 15%.
Sales tax and import tax are set by national governments, and are not something that Blue's Bushcraft Boutique can control. Please check the website of your national government for current import tax and duty rates.
Finally, please be aware that your local postal service may charge a fee for processing VAT and duty payments on your behalf. This fee will vary from carrier to carrier - check with your postal service or courier for the current rate.
Thanks.
