Taxes and duties

The prices of products are expressed in GBP (Sterling) inclusive of taxes but excluding customs duties.

For orders outside of the UK such custom duties shall be borne by the Customer. Unfortunately we cannot estimate how much duties you will pay but your local customs should be able to estimate the price. The Hosta cannot be held responsible for any action and/or costs and/or taxes and/or delays due to customs over which it has no control. If you refuse the custom charges and action the return of the bag, all costs associated with the return will be your responsibility. We insure the bag for the shipment to you only, if custom charges are refused the return journey of the bag is under your responsibility.

U.S. Sales Tax:

The Hosta has not established nexus in any U.S state and therefore we are not required to collect and remit sales tax on sales in that state. Sales tax is a tax on retail purchases and it is used to pay for state and local budget items like schools roads and fire departments. The Hosta currently has no sales tax obligation in the USA. If applicable US customers have the obligation to pay use tax directly to the state where they reside. It is the customer’s (purchaser’s) responsibility to self-accrue and remit the use tax due on the purchase where appropriate. Please consult your local US State tax department if you have further questions. The following guide from TaxJar may also be useful.

EU VAT:

TheHosta LTD, a registered company in the United Kingdom, is obligated to collect VAT on sales for resident companies (in the 27 EU member states plus Norway Switzerland and United Kingdom). Any and all VAT is paid to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), the UK government’s tax-collecting authority.
