Taxes & Import Duties

Modified on Tue, 15 Jul at 11:04 AM

We are based in the UK so please be aware that you may be required to pay additional taxes and duties to your local authorities before you can receive your order. Privateer Bikes cannot be held responsible for these costs.


WILL I HAVE TO PAY ANY CUSTOMS CHARGES IN MY COUNTRY?


There are no import/export duties on goods shipped within the European Union. All goods shipped to EU countries already have the relevant VAT included.

Shipments sent outside the European Union may be subject to import duties, local courier admin fees and taxes, which may be applied once a shipment reaches your country. Please note: we are legally required to declare the full value of goods (not including shipping charges) on all packages for delivery outside the European Union, and shipments may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are applied once a delivery reaches your country. It is a criminal offence to falsify the details on this form. We cannot inaccurately describe the contents, claim a lower value or mark as a gift. Please do not ask, or expect us to do any of the above as we don't like prison and there aren't any good road or trails. For details of Customs charges please consult your own Customs authorities for the latest rates.

Please be advised that some courier companies that we use may allow you to pay for import/customs charges after the order has been delivered to you. This is standard procedure for these companies to ensure that your order is delivered to you as soon as possible and not delayed in customs. These charges are solely dependent on your local customs office and the courier company, Privateer bikes cannot control these charges. For more information and advice it is best to contact your local customs authority.

Privateer Bikes are not able to bear any customs or import duty costs these must be paid by yourself the customer; unfortunately, we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. We are unable to reimburse any costs incurred regardless of the circumstances so do please ensure you are fully aware of these costs before placing your order.
