Will I be charged VAT and Import Duties for Overseas order?Updated 2 months ago

UK - No, there will be no additional charges including import duty and VAT.

USA  - Products are stored and shipped from US warehouses so there will be no additional import duties 

EU - As all our mouthguards are manufactured in UK there will be no duties payable. VAT is included in the prices and will be displayed at checkout. There should be no additional charges from carriers on delivery.

Rest of World – Depending on your country’s import rules, you may need to pay local duties and taxes. If any charges apply, the carrier will contact you directly to collect payment before delivery.

Australia – All orders above AUS$1000 will be subject to import duties. This figure can vary depending on the value of the parcel, so please check with the Department of Home Affairs for more information

Canada - Any item mailed to Canada may be subject to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and/or duty. Unless specifically exempted, you must pay the 5% GST on items you import into Canada by mail. The CBSA calculates any duties owing based on the value of the goods in Canadian funds. The duty rates vary according to the type of goods you are importing and the country from which they came or were made in. Depending on the goods or their value, some other taxes may apply, such as excise duty or excise tax on luxury items.

You do not have to pay the GST on the following goods that are imported into Canada by mail:

- goods worth CAN$20 or less; and

- gifts from family members or friends who live abroad when gift is worth is CAN$60 or less.

The Government of Canada has entered into agreements with certain provinces to collect the HST at a rate of 13%. If you live in a participating province, you will have to pay the HST instead of the GST.
