The invoice details required by customs around the world differ greatly and change without notice. By following our guidelines you will be complying with most customs requirements.

Failure to complete the correct documentation will either delay or render the export impossible. In these circumstances shipments will be held or returned and could incur additional costs.

There are no export taxes, duties or levies in force on goods exported from the EU. However, there may be import duties to pay in the country of destination.
