🇬🇧 For UK Customers.

We are pleased to inform you that 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 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.

VAT and Delivery

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 US customers - October 2025

Notice Regarding Temporary Suspension of Shipping to the U.S.
Following the introduction of technical trade barriers imposed by the U.S. administration on products imported from the EU, we have encountered significant challenges and uncertainties concerning both customs procedures and shipping.

This situation is untenable for both you as a U.S. customer and for us as a European company, so we have decided to temporarily suspend shipments to the United States.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our U.S. customers. Sales will resume once these restrictions are lifted or adjusted to a level we consider fair for our customers and sustainable for our business operations.

If you have an alternative delivery address outside the United States, you are of course welcome to place an order for delivery there.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
