Please know that Big Cartel does not automatically calculate VAT (value-added tax) and/or import tax for international customers. By purchasing items from this website, you acknowledge that you will be legally responsible for paying any additional VAT/import tax according to your local laws as the package arrives at your designated location, or the package may be held at customs. Before buying from our shop, please research your country's customs procedure to see if you have to pay VAT and how much the VAT fee is going to be for your order. Please also check the USPS Service Alerts for shipping availability. If your order is returned to us by the third party (carrier, customs, etc.), we will refund the cost of the items only.

We are also taking international orders through Etsy, where you can pay VAT directly at checkout. UK & German buyers should use Etsy as the sole platform due to recent policies. Thank you for understanding!
