Are there import duties?
When goods are imported into a different country or customs territory, there can be a charge applied called 'Customs Duty' that is charged by the local customs authority where the goods are being imported into.
If Customs Duty is required by your territory, you'll be responsible for paying it to the authorities. Whether Customs Duty is payable, and by how much, depends on your countries specific regulations.
If you do have to pay Customs Duty though, the amount payable is usually calculated based on the value of the goods and the type of goods being imported.
All international deliveries will not be charged UK VAT but may be subject to local import tax and duties including VAT in the EU and the customer is liable for these. However, UPS complete all import paperwork and calculate and handle all duties payable. UPS will then contact the receiver for payment and the customer can pay them directly.
