From July 1, 2021, orders shipped to EU shipping addresses may be subject to VAT. The new VAT rules will not affect customers not located in the EU, or orders where the shipping address is not in the EU. We have made arrangements with most of our shipping partners to pay VAT charges on orders, so our customers in the EU will not need to. However, we do work with small, independent workshops that ship items directly, and do not have the resources to register for VAT collection. Items where VAT may need to be paid includes, but are not limited to the items in this link. In this case, please kindly pay the required VAT to receive your order as we will not be responsible for VAT charged in such cases. In the event that an item is returned to us due to unpaid VAT, we may refund you the item cost minus 10% for processing fees as well as deduct shipping costs.
