In addition, we are required by EU regulation to obtain a CITIES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) permit before items made from exotic skins can be shipped. This may cause a delay in processing your order. For further information, please contact Customer Care on +44 (0)208 440 2233 or email info@cocoivyluxe.co.uk.

17. Do I have to pay duty and import charges?
In order to assist customers, in Australia, Bahrain, Canada, China, Japan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Switzerland, UAE, USA and Qatar, items are shipped on a DDP (delivery duty paid) basis and all prices shown include the relevant import taxes and duties (where the individual product or total order value is over the relevant country duty threshold). If you are shipping to South Korea, all prices shown on product and listing pages exclude duty and/or tax, however, customers can opt to pre-pay taxes and duties by checking the ‘Pre-pay your duty and tax’ tick box. From 1 July 2018, 10% goods and service tax (GST) will be levied by the Australian government on orders under AUD $1,000. For all shipping destinations, duty is clearly itemised in your shopping bag and throughout the checkout process. Customers can opt out of paying duty by unticking the ‘Pre-pay your duty and tax’ box at checkout, excluding orders shipping to China. If you opt out of paying duty up front, it is your responsibility to pay any applicable charges on delivery. If you decide to opt out, the shipping company will contact you by telephone once your items are in customs to let you know the cost. This may delay your delivery time as goods held at customs will be your responsibility to pay the necessary charges for local authorities to release the goods. Please be aware that if you don't choose to pay the import taxes we reserve the right to charge any additional costs incurred by COCOIVYLUXE.CO.UK to you. Delivery outside of the EU and to the above listed countries may be subject to local import taxes, which are your responsibility where they apply. Please note, duty is applied as a flat-rate percentage of total item value for all products. If you believe that you have been overcharged for duty please contact Customer Care on +44 (0)208 440 2233 or email info@cocoivyluxe.co.uk and we will be happy to investigate the position and refund any difference as appropriate.
