TAX, Duty & VAT

The following information is intended to help clarify the often confusing matter of who pays Tax on sales.

SALES TO NON-UK COUNTRIES:
Since VAT/Tax is not applicable on sales to Non UK countries our online shop automatically removes VAT from your order during checkout. Please note that some Non UK countries may charge import Duty or other Taxes which cannot be accounted for by our website. Customers in Non UK countries should note they are directly responsibility for the full payment of any further TAX or Import Duty incurred as goods are delivered.

On February 1, 2025, the United States announced changes to the tariffs levied against goods originating in China, Mexico, and Canada.

Immediate changes relate to goods with a Chinese and Hong Kong Country of Origin effective from 00:01 on 4 February 2025.

Here are the changes for goods with Chinese/Hong Kong origin stated in the Executive Order:

An additional 10% of Duty will be added to the existing duty rate of parcels with a Country of Origin of China or Hong Kong, which varies by the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)

This means that for shipments that contain goods that have an origin of China/Hong Kong the following applies:

• If the shipment is under $800, there will be no duty to be applied
• If the shipment is over $800, an additional 10% of Duty will be added to the existing duty rate of any CN/HK items which varies by HS Code. Other items will also be assessed for Duty at the current rates

This is expected to be a temporary measure and is subject to change at any time, we are working closely with our network to keep you updated.

UK SALES:
VAT is always chargeable on all sales to either domestic or commercial customers where the goods are being delivered within the UK. All our prices are inclusive of VAT, where applicable.
