Shipping to the United States – Due to the political changes with regards trade, we have put a surcharge on the postage to cover majority of the customs and tariff charges, to this we apologise for the inconvenience.
DUTY FREE for non UK customers - 20% VAT will be deducted at the checkout when the 'EU', ‘Rest of World ' or 'Channel Islands' shipping options are selected. You may also be charged a customs clearance fee, it may be worth checking at your local mail office for any charges, so you will not be disappointed.
