Camperflash ships worldwide.
The way VAT and any customs duties are applied depends on the destination country.
For shipments to Italy and other European Union countries, the displayed price includes the VAT applicable in the destination country, where required under EU rules.
The Customer will normally have no VAT or customs duties to pay upon delivery.
Shipments to countries outside the European Union are treated as exports and are subject to the customs rules of the destination country.
The process is simple:
1. At the time of purchase, Camperflash normally sells the goods without charging Italian VAT.
2. When the parcel reaches the destination country, the local Customs Authority determines any applicable import taxes, VAT/GST and customs duties.
3. The courier may advance these amounts to Customs and request payment from the recipient before delivering the parcel.
4. The courier may also charge its own customs clearance or administration fee.
It is essential to provide a correct and reachable e-mail address and telephone number when placing the order.
The courier will use these contact details to request any documents, information or payments needed for customs clearance.
The recipient should therefore promptly check e-mails, SMS messages and calls from the courier.
If the recipient does not respond, the shipment may be held, abandoned or returned to the sender. Any storage, return, duty, tax and transport charges may be charged to the Customer.
The following table provides an indicative estimate of the taxes normally applied to imports of camper, caravan and vehicle spare parts and accessories.

* The customs duty rates shown are indicative and mainly refer to spare parts and accessories for campers, caravans and vehicles. The actual customs classification may result in different rates.
In many countries, import VAT or GST is not calculated only on the product price, but on a taxable base that may include:
Products purchased: €200
International shipping: €30
Estimated import value: approximately €230
If the country applies 20% import VAT, the Customer may pay approximately €46 in VAT, plus any customs duty and courier administration fees.
Fees charged by the courier for customs clearance are not customs duties and are not taxes.
They are administrative charges requested by the carrier for handling the customs procedure, advancing taxes or carrying out other import-related operations.
These amounts are set directly by the courier and are not collected by Camperflash.
Unless otherwise expressly stated in the order, non-EU shipments are made with duties and taxes payable by the recipient.
The Customer is therefore responsible for paying local VAT/GST, any customs duties, customs clearance fees and any other charges required by the authorities in the destination country.
Camperflash does not determine or collect these amounts and cannot guarantee in advance the exact amount that will be requested by Customs or by the courier.
