INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
Customs, Taxes, and Duty Charges for International Orders
All orders shipped outside New Zealand may incur local customs fees, taxes, or duties upon arrival, determined by the destination country's customs authorities. These charges are the purchaser's responsibility, as regulations can vary significantly between countries. To avoid unexpected costs, we advise all international customers, including those in the European Union (EU), to contact their local customs office for detailed information on potential charges before placing an order.
VAT Policy Update for EU Customers
Please be aware, as of 1 July 2021, the EU has revised its VAT policies, removing the exemption for goods valued under EUR 22. Now, all goods imported into the EU are subject to VAT, aiming to create a fairer environment and simplify tax processes. For comprehensive details on how this may affect your order, visit the EU consumers | Taxation and Customs Union - European Commission website
Global Regulatory Changes
Customers outside the EU should note that changes to customs and tax regulations similar to those in the EU may occur in other regions. We encourage staying informed about your local regulations to fully understand the total cost of your order.
Refusal to Pay Customs Fees
To help reduce the shipping costs for our customers, we subsidize a portion of the actual shipping fees. Therefore, if customs fees, taxes, or duties are not paid, resulting in the return of your order, you will be responsible for all the actual shipping expenses. The refund amount will be calculated based on the actual amount we paid to the courier company, not the amount you initially paid for shipping.
The refund calculation is as follows:
Total amount paid by the customer - Actual shipping cost to the destination - Actual shipping cost back to New Zealand = Refund Amount
A refund will be issued to the original payment method upon the order’s return.
