Customs information:

As a global platform for artists and collectors, international shipments may require customs and/or import fees before delivery. These additional charges are not included at checkout since they are determined by the destination country’s customs regulations. Typically, you will be contacted by either the customs office or the courier service if fees are due. We’ll also monitor the shipping process to assist with customs if needed. Please note that customs and import fees are non-refundable in the event of a return.

Customs charges and import fees differ by country. Below are details for some of our popular shipping destinations. For countries not listed, or for more specific information, you can contact your local customs office.
