Customs Clearance | The VaultUpdated 9 hours ago

When ordering to destinations outside the United Kingdom, your shipment may be subject to customs clearance and import fees.

These charges are not included in your shipping cost and are determined by the customs authorities in the destination country.

The Vault does not control or receive these charges.

Why Are Customs Charges Applied?

Customs fees are applied by governments to regulate the import of goods and may include:

• Import duties
• Taxes such as VAT or GST
• Courier handling or clearance fees

The exact amount depends on:

• Your country's import regulations
• The declared value of the order
• The type of goods being imported

How Can I Estimate Customs Charges?

We recommend checking your country's customs authority website for guidance before placing an order.
