Online Shopping From Outside The UK

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS BEING SHIPPED OVERSEAS

If you reside overseas and are ordering for delivery outside of the UK then you are not required to pay UK VAT on your purchases.

This has always been the case for customers based outside the European Union (EU) but since the completion of Brexit on 31st December 2020, the same rules now apply to customers within the EU.

Although you do not need to pay UK VAT, there may be customs tax / import charges for you to pay once the item reaches your country.

Our website prices include UK VAT which is currently 20% of the total goods price.

Follow these steps and you will be able to view the price you will pay if you are based outside the United Kingdom...

• Add an item to your basket
• Select your shipping area (delivery region) from the dropdown in the basket page
• The basket page will automatically refresh and the VAT is removed
• If you return to the shop (continue shopping) then the prices now display excluding VAT

To give you an example, the images below show the exact same exhaust specification however the first image shows the UK price including VAT and the second image is the price excluding VAT for overseas customers.

All transactions on our website are charged in GBP £ Sterling. You may be charged a conversion fee by your bank or payment provider if you are paying in a different currency. This is something you would need to check with your bank / card provider.

Occasionally overseas credit and debit cards are declined as your bank may flag it up as a scam transaction or similar. If you make payment using Paypal, you should not see this issue and you can still use your credit / debit card to make payment but through Paypal. Please get in touch if you have any issues making payment.

PLEASE NOTE - You will incur customs tax / import charges once an item reaches its final destination country. The table below (supplied by Parcelforce) shows the tax rates in EU countries. There may also be a charge for handling. If you wish to learn more about this prior to ordering, then please check this out locally.

For ease of reference, international shipping costs can be viewed here. The majority of our international parcels are sent using FEDEX.
