Taxes & duties

By market.

Denmark and EU. Prices on the site include VAT and are adjusted to your local rate at checkout (e.g. 25% in Denmark). EU-registered businesses can be invoiced under reverse charge with a valid VAT ID - VAT is then removed at checkout via the trade flow.

UK, Norway, Switzerland, US, Canada and rest of world. Prices are shown net of VAT. Orders are shipped DAP (Delivered at Place): the checkout total covers the product and outbound shipping only. Destination import duties, import VAT, brokerage and any local carrier handling fees are paid by the customer to the carrier or customs authority on arrival.

Importer of record

For DAP shipments.

For DAP shipments the customer is the importer of record and is responsible for providing any documents or identification required by the carrier or customs authority in the destination country.

If a shipment is delayed, returned or abandoned because import duties, taxes, documentation or carrier requests are not completed by the customer, Project Materia is not responsible for those costs. Any return, storage, reshipment or administrative charges may be deducted from the refund or invoiced separately.

Returns

Collectible-design terms.

All current works are made to order. Made-to-order, limited-edition and commissioned pieces are non-returnable except in the case of manufacturing defect or transit damage - please notify us within 7 days of receipt with photographs.

Damaged or defective pieces are replaced or refunded in full, including return shipping. For any other return, return shipping and any customs duties, import taxes, brokerage or re-export costs are the customer's responsibility.
