VAT information for EU customers

VAT Now Paid at Point of Arrival

Tax is now charged at the point of arrival of goods into your country rather than paying any tax at the point of purchase.

The price you see when browsing or adding items to your basket will exclude Tax

The rate of VAT charged at the point of arrival will be that of your country of delivery. 

This applies to all orders that you have with The GigRig.

VAT will be calculated at the appropriate rate on the total net value or goods + duty where applicable.

When your goods are despatched and arrive in your country you will be contacted by the Carrier (UPS/Royal Mail/Local Mail Carrier) and it is at this point that you will pay the local VAT & Duty due on your purchase. The carrier will make it as quick and efficient as possible by completing and paying these on your behalf to ensure there is minimal delay to you getting your goods. Please note the carrier will include a disbursement fee with your VAT & Duty Bill for using these services.

Customs Duty also Applicable if Country of Origin not EU or UK

As well as local VAT, you may also have to pay any duty that is due if the goods were not made in the EU or UK (items originating in EU or UK are nil duty). 

As you may know, the vast majority of our products are designed and made in the UK. However there are a small number of items in our catalogue originate outside of the EU and may therefore be liable for additional duties. Please check which items may be affected below:

Product Name  Country of origin
2m TRS Cable China
6m TRS Cable China
AC-DC Adapter 9V DC UK or US plug China
Stereo Jack to 2 x Mono Jack Plugs Cable 30cm China
Stereo Jack to 2 x Mono Jack Plugs Cable 50cm China
Stereo Plug to 2 x Mono Socket Cable China
The GigRig Generator China
TGR-1 Expression Pedal USA

 

We cannot yet be specific on these as these are set by the European Commission, but we understand that as Musical Instrument Accessories they should be charged at around 2.7 %.

There's no shipping service available for my address, does this mean I can't place an order?
