🛃 Customs, VAT and taxes

We ship all items from our workshop and warehouse in Denmark. Below you can see what this means for you — find your country and read exactly what applies.

🇪🇺 Customers from EU countries

For orders from an EU country, VAT is automatically adjusted to your local rate, and there are of course no customs or import fees within the EU. The price you see at checkout is the final price.

🇳🇴 Customers from Norway

We are VAT registered in Norway (VOEC 2060051) and collect Norwegian VAT and any customs duties directly in the webshop.

• Products with a value of less than 3,000 NOK are not subject to customs duties.
• Products with a value of over 3,000 NOK may be subject to customs duties, depending on the product type. If this applies to your order, the customs duties will be calculated at checkout — you will not pay anything extra upon delivery.

We ship all orders Delivered Duty Paid (DDP). This means that VAT and any import duties have been paid in advance in the webshop. The price you see at checkout is the final price — no unexpected fees, no customs delays, just hassle-free delivery straight to your door.

In rare cases, it may happen that the shipping company mistakenly tries to collect customs duties or VAT again upon delivery, even though everything has already been paid. Should this happen, please contact us immediately at info@rune-jakobsen.dk so that we can help you further. In most cases, the simplest solution is for you to pay the amount collected to the shipping company, after which we will immediately refund you the full amount.

If you have questions about customs, VAT or delivery, you are always welcome to contact Kari at info@rune-jakobsen.dk — you will always get a personal answer.

🇦🇺 Customers from Australia

We ship DAP (Delivered At Place) to Australia and GST is not charged at checkout. Whether your order will be subject to tax upon arrival depends on one simple threshold:

Orders under AUD 1,000: No duty, no GST, no fees. Your order is delivered directly to your door at no additional cost — the price at checkout plus shipping is all that matters.

Orders over AUD 1,000: Australian authorities charge import duties and GST, which the carrier will settle with you before delivery. Here's how it's calculated:

1. Customs duty: approximately 5% of the price of the goods (the rate depends on the type of goods).
2. GST: 10% of goods + freight + customs duty.
3. Processing fee: a fixed fee for customs clearance from authorities and the shipping company, typically AUD 100–200 total.

Calculation example: You order goods for AUD 1,600 with AUD 150 in shipping.

• Duty: 5% of 1,600 = AUD 80
• GST: 10% of (1,600 + 150 + 80) = AUD 183
• Processing fee: approx. AUD 100–200
• Total import costs: approximately AUD 360–460 — on top of what you paid at checkout.

Good to know: The limit applies per shipment. So if your order is just over AUD 1,000, it may be best to either keep the order below the limit or add a little more to your cart so that the import costs are spread over a larger purchase — the processing fee is the same whether the order is AUD 1,100 or AUD 3,000.

If you are in doubt about what this means for your particular order, please write to us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk before ordering.

🇨🇦 Customers from Canada

We ship DAP (Delivered At Place) to Canada. Canadian sales tax (GST/HST) and any handling fee will be charged. by the shipping company upon import.

All of our products — with the exception of the Japan collection — are of EU origin and can therefore be imported duty-free under the EU-Canada Free Trade Agreement (CETA). Products from our Japan collection may be subject to customs duties at the regular Canadian rates.

🌍 Customers from other countries

For other countries outside the EU, orders are shipped DAP (Delivered At Place). This means that any import duties, local VAT and handling fees are collected by the shipping company when the goods arrive in your country.

These fees are set by your local authorities and are beyond our control. Many countries have a threshold below which orders are exempt - if in doubt, please check with your local customs authorities or write to us before ordering.
