Brexit and Taxes
Thanks to our nation's ill-advised exit from the European Union, we have had to change how we sell to our international customers.
International customers will not be charged UK VAT (20%) on our products. When your parcel arrives in your home country, you will be charged VAT at your local rate (and there may be a handling fee.) This will be determined by the customs form that will be attached to your parcel. Please note, all added taxes and fees are your responsibility to pay.
Sorry, we did not vote for this.
