Import Fees

If you're based within the European Union (EU), there will be additional VAT to pay on your order in most instances. For the current rates charged in the EU, see here. All EU parcels are sent using our unique IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number. This means that any VAT your respective country charges to import books is paid at the point of purchase and no extra import fees are due after this. This also streamlines the customs process so you get your order quicker. Supplied address must be residential, and not a business premises.

Outside of Europe, the majority of countries do not charge VAT for books. With each parcel, we will attach the necessary paperwork and declarations. If you are charged additional fees and believe this is an error, please contact Bitmap Books before paying, so we can investigate. Bitmap Books is not responsible for any additional VAT/duties on our books, unless the charges are due to our administrative error in the shipping documentation.

For orders to Canada, all tax is pre-paid, so there will be no extra charges once shipped.

If you have any questions, please email us.
