Tax and Duty Charges


Customs law requires that all applicable Duties and Taxes must be paid for shipments entering the UK. By placing an order with Akademiks.com, you agree to pay the duties and taxes charged by Customs at the time of delivery. Customs duty and Value-Added Tax (VAT) will be payable, as follows:

  • Customs duty – Typically 12-20% of product price (based on product characteristics)
  • Tax – Typically 17.5% of total order cost (including shipping cost)
  • Advancement Fees – FedEx fee for processing of duties/fees (currently $8.00 USD)

Due to our broad selection of clothing, footwear, and accessories it is difficult to estimate an exact figure for duty costs. Remember that all prices on the site are in U.S. dollars.

For further assistance in understanding and estimating taxes and duties please, visit HMRC at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/ or contact HM Revenue & Customs at email address Enquiries.estn@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk or phone number 0845 010 9000.
