International orders may subject to inspections and delays by authorities in destination countries. When ordering products for delivery to another country the purchaser acts as the importer and is responsible for dealing with any authority holding or inspecting their order.

We will assist you to a reasonable degree in providing information or paperwork as you may require to get your shipment released.

All international orders may be subject to customs fees, duties and/or taxes. You may want to contact your customs department to get more details as the customs regulations differ for each country of destination. As the purchaser of the product, you are acting as the importer and any duties, taxes or fees associated with customs are the responsibility of the importer.

Unfortunately, we are unable to declare your order as gift or undervalue the amount of your order. The amount on the invoice will be the declared value on your shipping document- customs declaration.
