An Update about USA taxes and Europe VAT

Recently, there has been some confusion regarding the new import tariffs imposed in the USA and since now the picture is much clearer, we are announcing the following:

Import Tariffs for the USA

Before the new tariffs, airsoft guns were imported without any extra taxes to the USA. Now, regardless of the value of the package, a 15% tax will be imposed on each parcel, as per White House announcement.

This is causing problems with customers who are not aware of the new tariffs or who don't want to pay extra at delivery, which is fully understandable.

That is why we are now offering Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) to our American customers. In practice, the new tariffs are now included in the price displayed and you will not have anything more to pay when the package is delivered to you.

VAT taxes for Europe

Regarding Europe, we unfortunately can't offer DDP at this time. However, we will refund our customers up to 20% VAT when their parcel is delivered to their door.

This system enters into effect at the time of this posting. No retroactive refunds requests will be honored as these orders benefited from the previous pricing structure which didn't include VAT in the price.

Note that we will not refund other possible taxes, only the VAT portion of the extra costs you might get at delivery.

To receive this refund, simply send us a copy of your import tax decision and we will then return the VAT portion (up to 20% VAT rate) to you shortly thereafter. Note that we will not be able to give you this partial refund if you fail to provide us the copy, which only you have access to. Thank you for your understanding.

This solution is the most balanced for customers of all regions and we hope that you continue enjoying Marui airsoft products.
