Shipments to our UK Warehouse

Please note, orders should not be shipped from China to the UK Warehouse before being shipped on to their final destinations.

If there is a compelling reason why a particular order needs to be shipped via the UK Warehouse, you must seek direct approval from the Managing Director on each case before instructing China to do so.

The only exceptions are orders for Belgium and South Africa.

Shipments to the Canary Islands

All shipments to the Canary Islands undergo a separate customs procedure in addition to the formal importation to Spain. The import tax which is specific to the Canary Islands is called 'Impuesto General Indirecto Canario', in short IGIC.

Please note that this tax is frequently changed but it should be sufficient to inform the customer that this tax exists.
