UK VAT DDP Customs Policy
This policy explains how Value Added Tax (VAT) and customs clearance are generally handled for orders delivered to the United Kingdom. It is intended to support transparency around pricing, tax treatment, and cross-border delivery procedures.
This information should be read together with the Shipping Policy and checkout-page notices.
Application of UK VAT
Under current UK tax rules, sales of goods delivered to UK customers may fall within the scope of UK Value Added Tax (VAT). Whether VAT applies, and how it is calculated, depends on factors such as the nature of the goods, the transaction structure, and applicable thresholds at the time of purchase.
Where VAT is applicable, it is handled in accordance with relevant UK legislation and reflected in the order process as required.
Price Display and Tax Transparency
Prices shown on product pages and during checkout are presented to help users understand the cost of an order at the time it is placed. In some cases, displayed prices may already include applicable taxes; in other cases, tax treatment is explained during checkout.
Displayed pricing reflects the information available at the time of purchase and may be adjusted in response to regulatory or technical updates.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) Explanation
Some deliveries may be offered under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms. Where DDP applies, this is clearly indicated on the product page, checkout page, or shipping information.
For orders marked as DDP, import-related charges such as customs duties and applicable import taxes are handled as described at the time of purchase.
If DDP is not specified, the shipment may be subject to standard UK import procedures, and the recipient may be required to cooperate with customs or logistics authorities as part of the clearance process.
Customs Clearance Process
Goods entering the United Kingdom may be subject to customs declaration, inspection, or additional regulatory review. Clearance procedures are governed by UK customs authorities and may vary depending on product type or regulatory requirements.
Requests for supplementary information or documentation may arise during this process.
Additional Charges and Regulatory Factors
For non-DDP shipments, certain import-related charges, administrative fees, or handling costs may arise under UK customs rules. These charges are not always included in the initial order total.
Such outcomes may result from changes in legislation, customs assessment, or product classification and are not treated as delivery errors.
Policy Updates
UK VAT and customs requirements may change over time. This policy may be updated to reflect such changes. The version published on the website represents the current applicable guidance.
