Swiss Arabian Shipping Information

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to changes introduced by our courier partners to EU shipping following new EU regulations, we are currently shipping as normal to the following destinations outside the UK - France, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Ireland, and Italy. All other destinations require min order value of €150 due to new EU regulations. We are working closely with the Courier companies to address the new regulations and will post updates on this page when available.

SHIPPING UPDATE – EU ORDERS

Swiss Arabian Perfumes are delighted to announce EU Deliveries are now available to select European destinations (see above). We have updated our product pricing for all our EU customers to include Customs Clearance fees which cover the changes introduced following the departure of the UK from the European Union.


Why have prices changed for European orders?

We have simplified shipping to the EU to include the Customs Clearance fees in your purchase to avoid unnecessary delays and requests for fees before your parcel is delivered.

CUSTOMS CLEARANCE EXPLAINED

What does custom clearance mean?

All goods shipped from the UK to EU destinations are subject to Customs Clearance charges which do not include your shipping fees which will be calculated at checkout.

How long does customs clearance take?

Typically, customs clearance can be up to 24 hours. All paperwork will be taken care of in-house by us which ensures your order will be delivered directly to your door without unnecessary delays which are associated with Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) which would involve customs duties being paid by the customer before it is released by customs for delivery resulting in delays.

Why did we include Customs Clearance in our prices?

Following the UK’s departure from the EU, shipping products to EU destinations (Distance Selling) has resulted in new EU VAT and customs rules. When placing an order for shipping to the EU, VAT, Customs Duties, and customs clearance fees based on your location may apply and are payable before delivery.

All our products are now customs cleared. What this means is Swiss Arabian Perfumes UK will cover all import duties and taxes, and customs clearance for orders shipped to EU destinations. Inclusive customs duties mean shopping with Swiss Arabian Perfumes UK, which has never been easier.

To place an order for delivery into the EU from the UK, you will need to accept our terms and conditions before proceeding to checkout. If you have any questions regarding your order, please email us at sales@swissarabianuk.co.uk
