International Shipping Responsibilities and Fees

As we expand our services globally, we'd like to inform you about certain aspects of international shipping. Please be aware that when ordering from [Your Website Name] for delivery outside the United Kingdom, you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods.

Your Responsibilities:

1. **Customs Duties & Taxes:** Every country has its own customs policies, and it's important to be aware of these as they can significantly affect the total cost of your order. You, as the customer, are responsible for all customs duties and taxes levied by your respective government. Unfortunately, we are unable to list all country-specific VAT rates and duties here due to the vast number of countries and the frequently changing nature of these regulations. We highly recommend consulting your local customs office for current charges before placing your order to avoid unexpected charges.

2. **Shipping Fees:** Please note that shipping fees charged by [Your Website Name] do not include any customs duties or taxes. These additional charges must be borne by you.

3. **Return Fees:** In the event that you choose not to pay the import duties and taxes, and consequently the order is returned to us, you will be liable for any return shipping fees in addition to the original shipping charges.

Our Commitment:

- **Transparency:** We strive to provide as much information as possible on our website about international shipping but encourage you to seek out specific information related to your country.
- **Assistance:** Our customer service team is here to assist you with any queries you might have about international shipping.
