International shipping costs do not include any customs charges you may receive. If you are ordering from outside the UK please be aware that your order may be subject to additional duties/custom fees before delivery. The order total does not include VAT or Duties as this is applied and collected at the destination country by their Customs Offices at their discretion. Any fees charged are not charged by or paid to VE Cosmetics.
If you live outside the UK your country will inspect goods as they arrive.
Sometimes duties and taxes and a small clearance or handling fee may be charged by your customs/duties department which you will be contacted about and asked to pay before your parcel is delivered. These charges are not made by us and we do not receive any money from these charges.
This is dependant on each counties custom thresholds, any trade agreements that are in place and the courier companies used.
THESE FEES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN OUR SHIPPING COSTS.
