CUSTOMS & DUTY COSTS
Important Information for International Customers
Please read before placing your order
Orders shipped from the United Kingdom to the European Union are treated as imports. This means your order may be subject to Clam Case import fees, including customs duty, local VAT, and carrier handling fees, which are not collected at checkout and are instead charged by your local customs authority or delivery carrier before delivery.
What you may be asked to pay
-
Customs duty (based on product type)
-
Import VAT (based on your country’s VAT rate)
-
Carrier handling / administration fee (charged by the courier or postal service)
These charges are outside of our control and must be paid by the recipient in order for delivery to be completed.
