VAT-free Shopping

We have finally been able to remove UK VAT (20%) from our prices online if you are shopping from outside of the UK! As a consequence, we have retired our WeLoveEU discount code as the prices will automatically adjust when you select the country you are shipping to. Please email us hello@palava.co if you have any questions about this, we'd be happy to help!

Import Taxes, Duties & VAT in Your Shipping Country

You may be charged tax for your order on arrival by the country of destination and this is not imposed by Palava.co, these taxes are referred to as “Import Taxes”.  We thus advise looking into the national taxes imposed by your country on the import of goods from UK merchants. We have seen in the past that not all international sales are subject to import duty and taxes, but that does not mean that on arrival the individual country will not impose these charges. Charges on imports are often based on the destination country, product type, product value, county of origin, and declaration of use of goods. If goods are of a low value certain countries may not impose duty charges, but we highly recommend you look into the guidance provided by the local governing body that manages your country’s imports and tax charges.
