You, the buyer, are responsible for any VAT, tariff, duty, taxes, handling fees, customs clearance charges, etc. required by your country for importing consumer goods. We do not collect this beforehand, and cannot give you an estimate of the cost - charges vary around the world. As an international consumer, please do your research to ensure there are no surprise charges when clearing your package through customs, and to have an idea of what the additional cost may be. If you are unfamiliar with customs fees and charges, please speak to your local postal or customs office for more information. It is your full responsibility to verify the customs, duties charges, and procedures in your country prior to placing your order. If customs fees and charges are refused at the time of delivery, your order will be returned and you will not receive a refund for shipment costs.

DUTIES AND CUSTOMS
In many countries, antique items (classed as over 100 years old) are exempt from duty, and we will send a certificate of antiquity with items where appropriate to facilitate this.

In accordance with the law and our insurance policies, we always declare the correct value amount to the relevant customs organisations.

Items over 100 years old are exempt from tax and duty. If the item you have purchased is less than 100 years of age you will be subject to taxes and duties in the USA , and the courier will contact you directly to pay these with US customs. If your item is over $2500 in value you may also be contacted by US customs to provide more information about yourself before they release the item.

GST and duty is due on all imports to Australia. Please check taxes and duty rates locally.
