Payment & Delivery

Prices on the website are displayed in £ sterling. However, I can accept payment in other currencies. See below for details.

Value Added Tax, Import Duty and Sales Tax

  United Kingdom (including Northern Ireland)

There is no VAT or import duty for customers resident in the UK (including Northern Ireland).

All items purchased by UK residents are posted using fully insured, signed for, UK Royal Mail Special Delivery.

  Republic of Ireland and European Union

No VAT or import duty is payable by customers in the Republic of Ireland or the rest of the EU.

Items purchased by clients in Ireland or the rest of the EU are posted using the Republic of Ireland's signed for registered post system or by courier (purchaser's choice).

  USA

There is no import duty payable on numismatic items (coins and medals), so you should not have to pay any import duty if purchasing items from my list.

However, I believe that sales tax may be levied by some states on consignments imported with a value of $800 or more.

  Canada

This country currently imposes import duty on any item valued at $20 or more.

Individual states may also levy sales tax in full on imported coins or medals.

  Australia and New Zealand

I believe both these countries do not generally charge import duty on items valued at less than $1,000.

However, both countries may levy sales tax in full on any imported coins or medals.
