Taxes & duties

In many countries, import taxes and duties do not apply when purchasing antiques aged over 100 years old. We will therefore declare these items as ‘antique’, providing a signed and dated Antique Declaration.

However, please be aware that you may be liable to pay local taxes and duties or handling fees on imported goods. Usually your country will have a website or customs office providing you with the relevant rates.

Please let us know if you are contacted by customs requesting supporting documents.

Further partial restrictions on importing of items such as ours exist in specific countries. Please contact us to make sure your country does not fit into this bracket.

We have no authority over a local country's customs department.
