Low Cost Carriage Option

NEW - We can now offer a Raggedstone1 board with low cost carriage worldwide. This service uses national mail services and normally delivers within 7 working days (not guaranteed). The low cost carriage price for a single board, or single board with PCI I/O Header, is £10 (approx 15, US$18).

Taxes and Duties

For the UK we will apply 17.5% VAT to goods and courier charges.

For non-UK EEC countries we will apply 17.5% VAT to goods and courier charges unless you can supply a VAT number, with registration details, that we can verify. If we can not fully verify your VAT details then VAT will be applied at 17.5%. The application of zero rate VAT to a shipment will be at our discretion under advice from UK Customs and Excise. If items are shipped at zero rate VAT you will responsible for accounting for VAT to your local authorities. No other duties or taxes should apply to products shipped to the EEC countries.

USA - We believe that Raggedstone1 should not attract duty or a MFP (manufactured foreign product) fee above US $2. The postal service or courier may charge handling if there is a collection of such a fee. This is our understanding of the rules but you should make you own enquires to confirm this. Please give us feedback if you can confirm or add to this understanding. We are hoping to offer a "duty paid" price to the US, for Raggedstone1, once we have a definitive understanding of the rules.

For other countries duties and taxes do vary. Applying duties and taxes may be collected by the courier, or postal service, from you upon delivery. Please check with your local authorities if you are unsure of rates. We will add more information as we find it out on other countries.
