Tax Free to the EU

Since the United Kingdom left the European Union on 1st January 2020, Heinnie Haynes ^® has been able to offer our products for sale to customers outside the UK at prices exclusive of VAT. 

This means that our products are effectively 20% cheaper than they were. To take advantage of the VAT-free prices, Heinnie Haynes ^® customers outside of the UK simply need to check out as normal, and the tax saving is calculated at checkout.

However, please be aware that you may be liable to pay sales tax (also known as VAT, TVA, or GST) and import duty when our parcel arrives in your country.

For customers outside the United Kingdom, the value of goods in your parcel will affect the price that you pay in import tax and duty. For customers in the EU, generally, items below EUR22 can be imported completely tax-free. Above this amount, sales tax is charged at between 20% and 25% on the value of goods depending on the current sales tax rate in your country.

Import duty is an additional tax which is charged on order values over approximately EUR150. Duty rates vary depending on the type of product being imported, and vary between 5% and typically, 15%.

Sales tax and import tax are set by national governments, and are not something that Heinnie Haynes^® can control. Please check the website of your national government for current import tax and duty rates.

Finally, please be aware that your local postal service may charge a fee for processing VAT and duty payments on your behalf. This fee will vary from carrier to carrier - check with your postal service or courier for the current rate.

Many thanks for shopping at Heinnie Haynes ^®.
