DUTIES & TAXES
All international parcels are subject to duties and taxes payable in your country on arrival. Please check your local customs or Postal website for more information.
UK / Ireland
As of January the 1st 2021, there were changes to the Tax system in the UK with regards to low value imports less than £135 (approximately $260 AUD). This means that we can no longer sell goods to the UK that under £135, as we would then be required to collect tax at the point of sale for the HM revenue in the UK. Shipping in the shopping cart will not work and is locked out for goods under $260 AUD.
For goods value to the UK over £135 (approximately $260 AUD), the shopping cart is then activated, but it is then the responsibility of the customer to pay the Vat and any import duty to the Royal mail when their parcel arrives into the UK. All parcels will include invoicing with the full value of the goods for customs.
The reasons for us not wanting to collect UK taxes, is the costs to implement changes to our website for UK pounds, and costs for accounting and auditing.

EU Countries
On 1 July 2021, the EU will be removing the low-value VAT threshold for eCommerce items. This means all EU-bound eCommerce items will be subject to VAT from 1 July 2021.

There is no change for items above the €150 threshold – international customers must still pay VAT and customs duties upon import to the EU.

As of July 2021 the full value of the goods will be stated on the paper work shipped with the goods.
