Taxes and Duties:
Import taxes and duties will be the responsibility of the customer and be charged to this latter, including any fee due to SDA Poste Italiane should goods be ordered from our website. Unfortunately we have no control over these costs as they are imposed by your local customs office and we are therefore unable to offer assistance on these processes. We advise that you check the import charges applicable in any country before ordering products to be delivered there.
