Shipping to the EU, prices shown on the website include VAT and taxes.
When International shipment is ready in 2025, this will apply:
All shipments to countries outside of Europe will be sent by Bring, Postnord or UPS and you will receive a tracking number by e-mail. The consumer is responsible for paying any customs fees/taxes for shipments outside of EU. VAT or import fees are determined at local customs and are out of our control. As such, the customer will always have to pay any and all applicable VAT fees.
How long does my order stay at the access point?
For orders delivered to an access point the "stay-time" may depend on the carrier. Please note that many carriers, for example; Postnord & Bring, has changed their "stay-time" from 14 days to 7 days. You can often extend this time in either the app or through the link provided by the carrier.
Do you offer Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) for the EU?
Yes we do, Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) (VAT On E-Commerce) applies to private customers who shop at Helen & Kristian. This means that VAT is paid on purchases of items. You as a customer therefore do not have to pay VAT and Customs Fee on the items when they arrive in the EU.
