We advise you to check with the local authorities to confirm any additional charges before placing an order. We are also unable to mark any shipments as gifts to avoid any additional charges. If you wish to send a gift abroad, it is advised you ship the parcel to yourself and then resend it yourself which you can then do so as a 'gift'.

International orders that are returned will be subject to the conditions of our return policy. Any returns received due to duties or taxes not being paid may be subject to additional costs to cover the return shipping of your order.
