AkaTako's website automatically calculates the appropriate VAT due on orders for all EU member states. You will be charged different tax rates based on the type of item - book, original artwork, magazine, sticker, etc.
- Products shipping from the Berlin, Germany, location to EU member states are straightforward.
- Products shipping from the Colorado, USA, location to EU member states are a little complicated. They must first be sent from USA to AkaTako's Berlin location (I get charged wholesale import VAT here). Then they are sent from Berlin to you (this is the "EU VAT" part here).
- If you are in a rush and you don't want to go US→DE→EU please contact me for some options! It is possible to ship directly US→EU with a little effort. The taxes would not be collected by AkaTako and you would be required to pay import taxes and VAT before or during delivery of the parcel.
Please read more about the available shipping options from the USA location to EU member states.
