FAQ

New information for our EU Customers

Will I be charged customs and Import fees?

Customs clearance charges and fees may be payable on items/goods entering the destination country including the EU from the UK. These depend on the contents’ value.

Items sent to the EU are subject VAT and duties in the EU. The value of goods thresholds are detailed below:

Items valued at under €22 will remain part of the Low Value Consignment Relief (LVCR) Scheme for items sent to the EU and are not subject to VAT or duties until 1 July 2021 (subject to further extension date to be set by the EU).
Items sent to the EU over €22 and below €150 may be taxed at the border and may incur a customs clearance/handling fee in the receiving country
Items sent to the EU over €150 may attract VAT, customs duties and a clearance/handling fee
The customs authorities in the destination country and the customs thresholds in place determine if charges are due on imported goods.
The levels and thresholds of charges vary from country to country

We can’t be held responsible for any customs or import fees your country may charge. We declare the cost, weight and description of the contents to our courier at the time of dispatch and submit our customs data electronically to aid customs clearance.

If you're still unsure on whether you'll be subject to customs fees, we'd recommend contacting your local customs office for more information before placing your order.

Are the products ethically sourced and sustainable?

Yes, all of our products have been sourced from UK or European suppliers.

We support small printing businesses that source their products from suppliers that are registered with International Standard Institutes such as WRAP, Fair Labour and Confidence in Textiles, SEDEX and follow the Ethical Trading Initiative code of conduct.

We are very conscious of ensuring we have minimal waste when it comes to our merchandise. We very rarely dispose of products as a lot of what you see on the store are items the Artist had on tour.

We make small orders based on the sales rather than bulk ordering merchandise and items that we can't sell are recycled and reused through our UK based recycling partners or donated to shelters for the homeless.

We are always working to improve the sustainability of our products and will never knowingly affiliate ourselves with brands that do not adhere to the standards mentioned above.

Are the packaging materials recyclable?

In 2019, The Merch Store introduced 100% recycled mailing bags and reduced single use plastic in our packaging. In January 2020, The Merch Store pledged their commitment to eliminating single use plastic from packaging materials and all the items we have restocked in this time have zero single use plastic.

How long will it take to receive my order?
