Tax

Since January 1st 2021, post Brexit, all goods sold outside the UK will be sold excluding taxes but local duties and taxes may still apply for your country. See examples below for importing (an Impact 2.0) to an EU country (Ireland) or the USA. 

 If you are in the UK but shipping outside the UK - then prices will show inc vat (taxes). 

When you enter your delivery address outside the UK then the 20% VAT sales tax is automatically removed. 

If you are outside the UK and shipping outside the UK – all pricing will show excluding any taxes. 

To estimate taxes and duties to SHIP OUTSIDE THE UK you can use the IMPORT DUTY CALCULATOR  

Please note this is for information purposes only and we cannot be held liable for any errors or discrepancies charged by customs.  

These charges will normally be levied by the courier used to deliver your goods and passed on to you at the point of delivery. It is your responsibility to pay import tax and duties charges when the courier contacts you (usually by phone). 

This charge is levied by your government not by Pico Genie and we have no control over it. If you or someone acting on your behalf rejects the goods at the point of delivery then Pico Genie may charge you for any associated delivery and administration charges.  

Please note if you have a business account with the courier that is delivering (we use a multitude of couriers but mainly UPS and DHL) the courier may automatically clear goods for you via your account to speed up clearance. 

DISCLAIMER: Any 3rd party sources used for estimating import duties and taxes are for information purposes only. We recommend that you seek confirmation before placing an order. We are not liable for any discrepancies between the price provided from above and your own calculation and cannot be held responsible for any resulting assumptions, costs or figures. 

Example shipping to USA   

The example below is for a Pico Genie Impact 2.0 shipping to the USA and shows you how to use the IMPORT CACLULATOR if you want to check if any taxes or duties are due on import.   

Its worth noting there are no duties to pay in the USA if the product is under $800 which means this applies to Pico Genie products except the PG10K. 

On the calculator, simply enter the info as below (or change the values based on your product costs) and click calculate. 

In this example there are no duties or taxes payable so there is usually nothing to pay to the courier.

Example shipping to Ireland   

If shipping to Ireland, local taxes such as VAT or customs duties maybe applicable on receipt of the goods.  

If in Ireland, all prices will automatically show excluding taxes (no UK VAT applies). 

When you go through the cart / checkout, the 20% UK taxes are auto removed based on your location so you can then purchase the goods excluding taxes. You would then pay the Irish VAT rate to the courier on import which is currently 23% (May 2023).  

You can check on the IMPORT CACLULATOR if any import taxes and duties are due before placing your order.  

The example below is based on a Pico Genie Impact 2.0 and normally you would not pay any duties and the VAT on £223.33 would be £58.61
