2 Duties

2.1 For orders shipped to USA, all duties are prepaid by us and included in your order. State sales tax are required for multiple US states. For orders shipped to Europe, hereunder Germany, Austria, and Belgium, VAT is included in the price displayed and collected at checkout. 

2.2 For orders shipped outside of the above-mentioned countries, the goods will be imported on behalf of the consignee/buyer. The consignee authorizes Solgaard to import the goods on his behalf. Further, the consignee/buyer agrees Solgaard may delegate the obligation to import the goods on his behalf to a subcontractor (e.g. customs broker). The consignee will pay the taxes & duties in addition to the purchase price of the goods.

2.3 Customs policies vary widely from country to country and customs duties are not always applied. Each country has its own rules for determining whether Import Duty / Tax / VAT will apply. Some countries only charge customs duties if the parcel has a value over a certain amount. Based on your country's customs rules, it is possible that your parcel will fall below that threshold level.

2.4 Therefore, we ask that you contact your local customs/import/mail departments for rates before you place an order to avoid any surprises.
