CUSTOMS & IMPORT CHARGES
Within the European Union, duty is not applied to your delivery, but outside the EU charges may apply. If you are unsure check with your local customs office, as you will be responsible for paying any applicable customs duties, taxes and import charges on your delivery.
Some infusions may not be suitable to ship to every location worldwide as some products are banned in certain countries. for example lemon peel cannot be shipped to Australia or New Zealand as it is a banned substance by the countries' quarantine service - if you are unsure, again, as above please check with your local customs offices.
