No customs charges in the EU, USA, UK or Norway that's great! But what about my country?

My shipments are made from the US, the UK and from the EU and it is unfortunately not possible for me to include Customs and VAT in the shipping cost when I ship  to countries outside these regions.

Fortunately in many countries the standard order values are below the minimum threshold for customs and VAT.

All countries have a so-called "De Minimis" level on customs, this means if the shipping value is lower than those, no VAT and/or no custom will be charged.

From the list below you can see that no customs or VAT will be charged for Japan (JPY 10000), South Korea (KRW170000), Australia for "standard orders" below ~$150, on the other hand for instance in Canada there will unfortunately be an extra charge added from your customs for all orders.

n.b.

VAT ="--" means that no VAT will be charged unless the customs value is reached.

VAT = "0" means VAT will be charged on all shipments with a commercial value.

VAT charged is your country's standard VAT, normally between 10-25%, Customs on hand tools are normally between 2-5%.

* Tax amounts of up to 5 Swiss francs are not levied.

IMPORTANT : Please understand that I'm not making any promises here, it is just way too complex to read in on all the different regulations and they are also changing from time to time. I'm just trying to give an overview, if you want to be sure how your order is going to be handled by your customs I recommend you check on your country's custom office website.
