International Shipping & Import Duties – DDP Explained

Hassle-Free Global Delivery for Car Parts & Performance Upgrades

We proudly ship car parts worldwide. If you're an international customer shopping with us, it's important to understand how taxes, import duties, and customs fees are handled, especially if you're outside the UK.

Will I Pay Taxes or Import Duties?

Unless you choose a DDP (Delivered Duties Paid) shipping option at checkout, your order will ship without taxes or import charges included. This means:

  • You won’t be charged VAT, GST or customs duties at checkout
  • These charges will instead be due when your parcel arrives in your country
  • Your local courier or customs agency will usually collect them before delivery
  • This standard method is known as DDU – Delivered Duties Unpaid

What Is DDP (Delivered Duties Paid)?

If you prefer to avoid delays and unexpected fees, we recommend selecting DDP shipping at checkout (if available for your country).

With DDP shipping:

  • All import taxes, duties, and VAT are prepaid
  • No extra charges will be due on delivery
  • You’ll enjoy faster, smoother shipping without customs delays
  • Guaraenteed landing cost

DDP vs DDU – What’s the Difference?

The key difference between DDP (Delivered Duties Paid) and DDU (Delivered Duties Unpaid) is when and how import taxes and duties are paid. With DDU, your parcel is sent without any prepaid taxes, meaning you’ll need to pay VAT, GST, or customs duties when the shipment reaches your country - often resulting in delays while customs or the courier contacts you for payment. In contrast, with DDP shipping, we handle all the tax and duty payments upfront, so your order arrives faster and with no unexpected charges at your door. It’s the most convenient way to shop internationally and ensures a smoother delivery experience..

How to Choose the Right Shipping Option:

During checkout, you’ll see shipping methods clearly labelled. For example:

  • FedEx - Duties & Taxes Included (a price breakdown will be included)
  • All other shipping options do not include duty & tax (these will be paid at the time import)

To avoid any surprises at delivery, simply choose a DDP option when available.

Who Is This For?

  • Ordering from outside the UK
  • Customers in the EU, USA, Australia, Canada, and other regions where import duties may apply
