    For deliveries to Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland, UK VAT will not be charged. These markets operate as DAP (Delivered at Place). However, your order may be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in your chosen delivery location, which are levied at the time the package clears customs. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, Fettercairn has no control over these charges. Please contact your local customs office for further information. We also cannot refund any customs charges in the case of a return or refund. 

    For deliveries to all other EU countries, we have arranged for your order to be delivered as a DDP (Deliver Duty Paid) order. We bear all risk and costs associated with delivering goods to the named place of destination. We have arranged for your taxes to be billed back to Fettercairn. Please do not pay them if asked by the courier or customs as we cannot refund any customs charges that you have paid.  Once cleared, your order will be released for delivery.

    Please be aware that the courier will require local contact information for delivery.  As such, if you are placing the order as a gift, please enter the recipient’s local contact information at the checkout to facilitate this.

    Following Brexit, customs may require to get in touch with the recipient to confirm the contents of the order and verify that the order is for personal consumption. 

    For deliveries to Italy, you’ll need an Italian tax code, also known as a “Codice Fiscale".

    The Codice Fiscale serves as a unique identifier for individuals and legal entities in Italy. The Codice Fiscale is a tax identification number used in all interaction with government agencies and public administration in Italy. It is a unique identity code devised from an individual's name, date and place of birth.

    Our delivery partners will contact you upon arrival to your country to request this number. Please note if this is not provided the order may be returned.
