Payment to Pottery Barn is for the merchandise and shipping only. The recipient is responsible for paying custom duties, taxes, and any additional custom clearance fees upon delivery to UPS. The Value Added Tax (VAT) rate depends on the commodity type. Please contact the United Kingdom HM Revenue and Customs for details. The standard VAT rate is 17.5%. VAT = (merchandise purchase price + shipping + customs duties) * VAT rate. The custom duties vary by product and country. Please refer to the United Kingdom HM Revenue and Customs for specific details and to obtain estimates of custom duty rates. The United Kingdom HM Revenue and Customs contact info is as follows: — For United Kingdom customers call: 0845.010.9000 — For United States customers call: 011.44.2920.501.261 — Website: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk The additional fees are any fees associated with clearing the goods through customs (i.e., anti–dumping fees, import quota restrictions, custom examination fees, brokerage fees.)
