Our international orders are despatched on a duty unpaid basis. Unless otherwise stated, all items are shipped from the United Kingdom and may incur duty & other charges upon entering other countries. Any duty, clearance, tax or carrier charges must be borne by the recipient and we will not accept liability for any such costs. Please check with the relevant authorities of the country in question before placing an order.
