Prices are normally shown in UK Pounds (£) Sterling including VAT. If you live and require delivery outside of the European Economic Community (EEC), UK Sales Tax(VAT) will not be charged.

Please read these notes carefully!

1. By law a customer living in the European Economic Community (EEC see below) must be charged VAT at UK rates on the transaction.

2. Where we ship goods to a country outside the EEC, any taxes or import duties imposed by that country is the sole responsibility of you, the purchaser. These taxes or duties are typically invoiced and collected by the delivery company.

3. A purchase by a customer living outside the EEC for shipment outside the EEC will not be charged VAT (UK Sales Tax).

Prices will be displayed with or without UK Sales Tax (Value Added Tax) according to your chosen preference. VAT on products can vary between zero and 17.5% as mandatory laid down by Customs and Excise for composite products containing elements of both standard rate VAT and zero rate VAT (e.g. nurses outfit with fob watch). We are required by law to charge VAT according to the rules above and will inform you if your total order needs to be adjusted.
