Customs PoliciesGDA Winner’s Shop ships to customers worldwide, and we make every effort to ensure that your experience with import Customs in your country is smooth. However, Customs and Revenue authorities can be quite resourceful. Rest assured, GDA Winner’s Shop is fully compliant with all laws and regulations of your destination country. If you reside in the EU, Value Added Tax (VAT) has already been paid, and you should not incur additional charges. You can locate GDA Winner’s Shop's VAT number on your invoice. Nevertheless, orders shipped to your country may still be subject to import taxes, customs duties, and fees. As the recipient of an international shipment, you may be responsible for these charges, which are imposed when a shipment arrives in your country. Please note that these customs clearance fees are solely your responsibility as the receiver. GDA Winner’s Shop has no control over these charges and cannot anticipate their exact amount. Customs policies vary significantly from one country to another, so we recommend contacting your local customs office for precise information. Keep in mind that customs clearance procedures, when required, can potentially lead to delays beyond our initial delivery estimates.
