The UK left the EU on January 1st 2021. Here's everything you need to know.

For Buyers

I’m in the UK and I want to buy an item in the UK

• You can still shop with Direct Shipping, our most affordable and sustainable shipping option, on all items in the UK under 1000€ (or GBP currency equivalent).
• You can still choose to have your item authenticated at the payment stage if you like, nothing will change here.
• There should be no change to delivery times within the UK.

I’m in the UK and I want to buy an item in the EU

• Direct Shipping is available between the UK and the EU, and any applicable customs or handling fees will be listed during checkout.
• Unfortunately, you will also have to pay a 20% import VAT on the item’s price. This will appear automatically at checkout.
• There should be no change to delivery times from the EU to the UK. However, there may be unforeseen circumstances that mean that your item may take slightly longer to arrive.
• You will not need to pay anything additional fees after checkout to receive your parcel. In some rare cases, the carrier may contact you for additional information, for example to re-confirm your address.

💡Good to know:  If your item will cross an international border, whether to undergo checks or as part of delivery, a handling fee will be applied at checkout. Any applicable handling fees will be no more than €5 per item, or your currency equivalent, and will appear automatically at checkout under ‘Import Duties and Taxes’.

For Sellers

Great news: Wherever you or your buyer are based, nothing will change for you as a seller. There should be no change to delivery times for your buyer. If items are delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, this may result in delivery delays to us and therefore your payments, as these are only triggered once your items have been checked by our quality control and authentication teams.

💡 Good to know: No additional paperwork is required to ship your item to your buyer as a result of Brexit - all you need is your shipping label.
