European Union residents must add 19% value added tax (VAT) to the final price. We are a privately owned company based in Waalwijk, the Netherlands and we are required to collect this sales tax for sales to anyone in the European Union. The 19% VAT is required for all shipments to European Union residents unless you can provide your valid v.a.t. number. Please keep in mind that we must collect the Value Added Tax (V.A.T.) only if you are in the European Union.
