Taxes and customs

Darkstorm is not responsible for any customs fees or taxes incurred in the receiving country. 

EU VAT & Customs Duties

  • Customs clearance charges and fees may be payable on items/goods  entering the destination country including  the EU from the UK. These depend on the contents’ value. The parcel won’t be released until payment has been received. 
  • Items sent to the EU from England, Scotland and Wales are subject VAT and duties in the EU. The value of goods thresholds are detailed below  
    • Items valued at under €22 will remain part of the Low Value Consignment Relief (LVCR) Scheme for items sent to the EU and are not subject to VAT or duties until 1 July 2021 (subject to further extension date to be set by the EU).
    • Commercial items/goods (excluding personal correspondence) sent to the EU over €22  and below €150 may be taxed at the border and may incur a customs clearance/handling fee in the receiving country.

Rest of the World

Please check with your countries customs office to see what charges you may incur importing goods from the UK. Each country may be different, but there is usually a cut off cost of the goods where below that threshold you do not need to pay any tax.
