International Delivery
Please ensure your country is selected from the drop down menu in the bottom right corner of the screen to show correct prices for the items available for your destination.
Tax is not included in the final price but parcels delivered outside the UK may be subject to local duty, tariffs, and/or taxes payable on goods.
When placing an international order, please use your home address if possible. This helps to avoid business-to-business import duties and taxes for both the customer and the museum.
If you are making an international order (i.e. any order delivered to a country other than the UK), you will be the importer. By placing an order you are instructing SCMG Enterprises to engage with a logistics provider to fulfil customs import procedures on your behalf. Before placing an order, it is your responsibility to check that the products you are planning to import comply with state and federal government import regulations, and that there are no local requirements or restrictions which may affect receipt of your order. If any customs requirements apply or charges are due, you agree to be responsible for arranging payment of these. SCMG Enterprises does not accept responsibility for payment of any customs charges and local taxes.
