🛃 Customs, VAT and Taxes

We ship all items from our base in Denmark (EU). Below you can see what this means for you.

🇪🇺 For customers residing in the EU

If you are purchasing from an EU country, the price you see at checkout is the final price. All prices include your local country's VAT and you will not be charged any additional fees upon delivery.

🇳🇴 For customers in Norway

We are VAT registered in Norway (VOEC no. 2060051) and charge Norwegian VAT directly in the webshop.

Any further customs/import duty will be charged by the shipping company before delivery.

🇺🇸/🇨🇦 For US and Canadian customers

Hassle-Free Shipping
We ship all orders to the United States & Canada DDP (Delivered Duty Paid).
This means that import duties and tariffs are calculated and paid directly at checkout in our webshop—no hidden fees or unexpected charges upon delivery.

🇬🇧 For UK Customers

The majority of our products are handcrafted in Denmark or elsewhere in the EU, and therefore qualify for duty-free import under the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA)

This means:

✅ No customs duties

Because most of our products are of EU origin, they are generally not subject to UK import duty. We provide all necessary documentation to ensure a smooth customs process.

If you are in doubt about the country of origin of a product, please contact Kari at kari@rune-jakobsen.dk

UK VAT

We are not registered for UK VAT and therefore do not charge VAT at checkout.

Instead, UK VAT (currently 20%) will be charged upon delivery, regardless of order value.

You will be contacted by the courier (typically DHL, UPS, or similar) and asked to pay VAT before the parcel is delivered.

Please note:

This applies to all orders, regardless of total amount.
There may also be a small handling fee charged by the courier for processing UK import VAT.

🌎 For customers residing in other countries outside the EU

For other countries outside the EU, orders are sent as 'Delivered At Place' (DAP).

This means:

You are responsible for paying any import charges levied by the shipping company upon arrival in your country. This may include customs duties, import VAT and handling fees.
These fees are set by the local authorities in your country and are beyond our control.

Worth knowing: Many countries have a de minimis threshold where orders under a certain value are exempt from customs duties. We recommend that you check the applicable rules for your country with your local customs authorities if you are in doubt.

By completing a purchase, you agree to these terms.
