What it costs to your door

Duty and VAT for the EU and UK, before you buy.

We ship from Singapore and from Guangzhou. Into the EU and the UK we can prepay the import VAT, and into the United States we ship with the tax already paid, so nothing is owed when the courier arrives. Everywhere else, duty is set by your own customs authority and collected on delivery.

How the DDP fee is worked out

Your country’s VAT rate, applied to the goods.

Nothing else is added. The table below shows the standard rate we use and what a S$1,000 item would come to. Rates are the standard rates as of 2026-01, last checked 2026-08-21. They change, and the figure at checkout is the one that binds.

These are the countries our EU and UK customers actually order from. We prepay the import VAT for every country in the EU, so if yours is not above, ask and we will tell you the rate before you buy.

In plain language: DDP, Authorised dealer

Buying from an appointed dealer is not the same purchase as buying grey. What the difference actually is.

The United States

All-inclusive US shipping with tax paid.

Not a percentage, and it would be misleading to print one: this is a flat amount set by the value of the order, so the effective rate falls as the order rises and stops altogether above the top band. Delivery takes 15 to 20 business days. Confirmed at checkout and subject to change.

Everywhere else

We would rather say so than guess.

Outside the EU, the UK and the United States we do not prepay, so we will not print a number we cannot stand behind. Your customs authority sets it, and the courier collects it. If you tell us where you are, we will find out what it is likely to be before you order.
