Photospecialist has taken all necessary steps to ensure we can keep delivering your orders after January 1st 2021.

Photospecialist.co.uk is operated by a Netherlands based company. Due to Brexit a lot of things change, the most important for our customers is that the UK is no longer part of the EU customs union. This means that products shipped from EU mainland must be cleared by UK customs. We take care of the customs process together with our logistic provider UPS. This means no further costs are involved for our customers.
Yes but shipping times may get longer due to the customs processing starting January 1st 2021.
Yes we have to charge higher shipping fees because the UK is no longer treated under the EU shipping tariff but under world tariff. This, together with custom duties leads to higher shipping costs from EU mainland to the UK.
Yes you have to pay VAT. Technically there is a difference between orders below or above £135.00. We decided to handle both orders below and above £135.00 the same to make it as easy as possible for our customers. This means you won’t be charged with additional custom duties and we transfer the VAT to HMRC.
Yes if you provide a valid VAT number which is approved by HMRC then you can process your order with VAT.
Normal transit times between EU mainland and UK are 1-2 days. Due to the Brexit a new custom process will be introduced. This will almost certainly lead to longer shipping times. We will send you a tracking code which you can use to check the status of your order.
