Duties & Taxes at PouchRepublic
When shopping for nicotine pouches with us, understanding duties and taxes is essential to avoid surprises. Here’s everything you need to know about how duties and taxes work for your orders.
Do I Have to Pay Import Duties and Taxes?
Yes, in most cases, import duties and taxes apply depending on your country’s regulations. These fees vary depending on where you’re ordering from and the delivery destination.
-
Within the EU:
- You pay the VAT of the country where the package is being delivered.
- VAT rates are automatically calculated and shown during checkout for complete clarity.
-
Outside the EU:
- You are responsible for paying VAT and any import duties in your country.
- Prices displayed at checkout exclude VAT for non-EU destinations.
- Contact your local customs office to understand specific charges.
How Do Taxes and VAT Work?
For EU deliveries, the VAT of the destination country is included in your total. You can see the exact amount at checkout, so there are no hidden fees.
For countries outside the EU, all displayed prices exclude VAT. This means:
- You handle local VAT and duties upon import.
- Some countries allow us to collect VAT and duties upfront. If this option is available, it will be shown during checkout.
If the option isn’t visible, you’ll need to pay these fees directly to customs.
