4.0 Shipping Changes to the UK
Because the UK has now left the European Union, it is considered a third country for customs and VAT purposes. Like Ireland, tea is considered a zero-rated product for VAT in the UK. However, we encourage our UK customers to familiarise themselves with local VAT and Import regulations before making a purchase. All reasonable endeavours have been made to provide full transparency on the costs UK customers will incur, but we cannot predict any additional charges at the point of delivery.
