EUROPE: UPDATES TO TAXATION & CUSTOMS AS OF THE 1ST JULY 2021
Before 1st July 2021, goods less than €22 (£20) were exempted from import VAT. However, after the 1st July 2021, this is no longer the case.
VAT must now be charged on all good, even low-value goods, which are imported into the EU. This excludes the cost of shipping.
We currently charge a zero-rate on the export of our goods and the customer will be subject to VAT when it arrives in the destination country. It is the responsibility of the customer to pay any customs & taxes due on the goods, before your goods can be released from the customs department for delivery.
To calculate what taxes & customs may be due, please check what your local VAT rate is in your country, as well as any customs charges (usually the admin fee for the courier) that may be incurred.
This information only affects customers based in the European Union.
BREXIT UPDATE - TRADING BETWEEN THE UK AND EUROPE:
The United Kingdom has left the European Union, which means trading rules have now changed between the United Kingdom and Europe.
For our European customers, please be aware that you may be liable to pay tax and customs on your order, as a result of the post-Brexit transition. We ask that you please contact your local customs offices to seek advice if you are worried about any costs incurred to you. Unfortunately, we cannot advise any further regarding this, as every country has unique and varying tax and customs rates. There may also be additional delays with customs clearance in Europe, due to Brexit, which are out of our control.
We cannot refund any customs and taxes incurred once the parcel has been received. By confirming our terms & conditions at the checkout, you will be agreeing that you have read that any customs and taxes are liable to be paid by the customer, once the parcel has reached the destination country.
CUSTOMS & TAXES
For any deliveries orders outside of the UK, please note that you will be liable to cover the cost of ingoing customs or taxes incurred when we ship to your destination. You can check this with your local customs office for more information.
Please do not refuse the delivery. Unfortunately, any refused deliveries will incur the cost of the original delivery plus the cost of the return. Any refund made to your account will be minus the total delivery cost and the return cost of the parcel, if the parcel is refused.
Any parcels which are undelivered and therefore returned to us will have have a refund issued, minus the total delivery cost. If you wish for us to re-deliver the item, you must place an order again through our website.
We are always transparent with our customers when it comes to issues like customs and taxes. But, unfortunately due to Brexit, we have no control over the additional costs that may be incurred for shipping outside of the United Kingdom. Please factor these costs when ordering from our website, as the higher the basket value, the higher the customs and taxes incurred. These additional costs are out of our control and are down to the rules of your local customs office.
We always fill out of customs forms as accurately as possible, but human error can occur. If you believe you have been overcharged, please contact your local customs office for advice.
We always try our best to deliver your parcels to you on time at Luxe Volition. However, we cannot be held responsible for any delays that are caused by customs clearance at the destination country.
INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY SERVICE
All of our deliveries are handled by Royal Mail. We use a tracked service to ensure that you can track your parcels end-to-end to see the progress of your order through transit for a peace of mind.
The shipping is calculated at the checkout, where the price will be based on the weight of the parcel. This is the fairest way that we can ensure that you are getting the best rate for your shipping. The more items that are added to the cart, the higher the cost of shipping. We hope you can understand why we have opted for this method to calculate shipping, as a singular flat rate was not optimal.
We have made every effort to try and minimise the cost of shipping as much as possible with our courier and every order is sent tracked and insured. However, as a small business, we cannot reduce the cost any further, as sending orders untracked and uninsured means that we cannot cover the cost of orders in the rare event that they go missing in transit. We understand that due to this, the method of shipping is slightly more expensive than an untracked method. But, in order to allow international shipping on our website, it is the only choice we can currently offer.
To minimise delays, please ensure that you double-check that your shipping address is correct at the time of ordering. Unfortunately, we are unable to re-direct any orders once they have been dispatched with our courier.
Please ensure that yourself or someone you know is available to accept the parcel at your home or work address on the day of delivery. If no-one is in to accept the parcel, the courier will provide you with the details with where to collect the parcel, or to re-arrange the delivery.
Delivery time begins from the moment your order is dispatched from our premises. Your order will be processed within a 24-48 hour period between Monday to Friday. We always endeavour to get your order shipped out as soon as possible, but as we are a small team, we may take slightly longer during sale periods, public holidays and Bank Holidays.
ISLE OF MAN & CHANNEL ISLANDS
We are able to ship to the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands for the same rate as the UK shipping options. We offer Standard Delivery, however we cannot offer Next Day and Special Delivery Options. Please be aware that there may be customs clearance delays, which are out of our control. We are unable to reimburse the shipping costs for delayed parcels due to customs.
