Books & Boxes VAT VAT will not be charged on book only boxes as they won’t include any extra larger merchandise or VAT taxed items. The books are VAT exempt. We are currently getting VAT approved to make sure we’re prepared to meet standards in the future, but for now you can purchase our boxes VAT free! Merchandise VAT Our VAT for merchandise is currently handled through our production company, but that will be updated to reflect once we have been approved. Border Costs & Import Taxes Border costs & import taxes will not be included in the order. Typically if there is an amount owed for this, you will be contacted by your country's custom's department by mail or phone. For the most part, printed matter is duty free!
