  • For the UK: you'll be required from HMRC to pay VAT (20%), custom duty (2%) and a clearance fee (£12) on top of the price of the item + the shipping fee together. The process is the following : when you place the order, you pay the full price VAT included. When the import is done, please send us the proof that you paid the VAT and we will refund you the Belgian VAT that you paid at first. 
  • For the US: you'll be required to pay to the US Customs the State Sale Tax (that depends on the state you ship to) and custom fees on top of the price of the item + the shipping fee together (4,5% for rugs, blankets, cushions and poufs). 
  • For Australia: for goods with a value over 1000 AUD, you pay 5% of the value of the good as import duty + 10% of total value of the goods + freight + duty as import GST

Shipping

All orders are dispatched within 5 business days and are carefully packed with bubble wrap in a carton box. 

Once the order is dispatched, you will receive an email confirming the shipping as well as a tracking code. All orders receive a tracking code and are insured. All orders are dispatched with the Belgian post services, Bpost, within the European Union. To ship elsewhere or to ship large rugs (bigger than 2 by 3m), it will be done via UPS. 

You are solely responsible of incorrect delivery addresses and this may give rise to additional delivery costs.

The stated sales prices are always exclusive of delivery costs, unless stated otherwise.

If there is any visible damage to and/or qualitative deficiencies of an article or other deficiency in the delivery, you need to report it immediately to us at adeline@treeofcolors.com. Please send us pictures of the box with the label visible, the inside and outside of the packaging and of the damage caused to the article. This is necessary in order to asses the damage caused during the delivery and to request compensation.

You may cancel an order until it is dispatched. Note that you will be notified of the dispatching of your order after it is actually dispatched (either the day before, or on the same day).
