If you are ordering goods for delivery outside of the UK, please note that your order may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches the destination country. Any such charges levied in relation to customs clearance must be borne by you. It is accepted by you that Harper Collins has no control over additional charges in relation to customs clearance and you must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods. Customs policies vary widely from country to country so Harper Collins recommends that you check with your local customs officials or post office for more information regarding importation taxes / duties that may be applicable to your on-line order. You will be the importer of the goods and responsible for any import VAT and duty that may be borne. In addition, any charges for import clearance will be borne by you, the customer. We may provide certain order, delivery and product information, such as titles, to our international carriers and such information may be communicated by the carriers to customs authorities in order to facilitate customs clearance and comply with local laws.
