Yes. If you live in the EU then EU law requires all goods imported into the EU must be subject to VAT, i.e. you need to pay VAT on your order. For some countries this will be done automatically at the check-out, for others this will be done in your country by the courier who delivers the flags to your door. We have no control over the amount of VAT you need to pay. The amount of VAT you need to pay depends upon your country and the order amount. Most EU countries charge around 20% VAT on any order.
