Ordering from Varuste.net to the United Kingdom: What You Need to Know

At Varuste.net, we are pleased to offer delivery services to the United Kingdom, allowing our UK customers to enjoy our wide range of products. However, due to the regulatory changes following Brexit, there are some important considerations to keep in mind when placing an order.

VAT and Import Duties

All orders delivered to the United Kingdom are VAT 0%, meaning Finnish VAT has been deducted from our prices. Delivery Duty Unpaid - DDU. However, this does not include British VAT, which may be applicable upon import. Additionally, the buyer/importer is responsible for any import duties, import fees and taxes imposed by UK customs. These charges are not determined by Varuste.net but are a result of UK legislation post-Brexit.

If you are ordering to Northern Ireland, please choose delivery country Northern Ireland. When ordering to Northern Ireland prices include VAT and there's no additional duties. The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) and the Northern Ireland Protocol govern trade between the EU and Northern Ireland, with the Protocol specifically addressing the unique situation of Northern Ireland post-Brexit. Under the Protocol, Northern Ireland effectively remains aligned with the EU's single market for goods, meaning goods moving between the EU and Northern Ireland face minimal customs formalities.

Minimum Order Requirement

To streamline the ordering process, there is a minimum order requirement of €165 (approximately £140) VAT 0%. Payment methods will only be enabled once your shopping cart exceeds this amount. This is because Varuste.net is based in European Union and is not VAT registered in the United Kingdom. That's why Varuste.net can't make shipments to the UK which are less than €165 VAT 0%.

Delivery Restrictions

Furthermore, certain items such as knives and other sharp bladed objects are restricted from being shipped to the UK.

Additional Fees

While Varuste.net does not impose any additional fees, please be aware that courier companies (such as DHL, FedEx, or UPS) may charge forwarding or handling fees. These are separate from the product price and delivery fees and are the responsibility of the buyer.

Conclusion

We strive to make the ordering process as transparent as possible. The additional costs associated with shipping to the UK are due to local regulations and are beyond our control. We provide all necessary documentation with your shipment to facilitate a smooth delivery process.
