Shipping Costs within Germany

^*1 Consumers in Sweden

Deliveries to Sweden are subject to additional national excise duties on alcohol which have to be declared and paid by the recipient before shipping of the order. Detailed information on these alcohol taxes is available during checkout, we will send you all necessary information and instruction how to declare them by e-mail after you have placed your order.

^*2 Consumers within the EU

For orders to other EU countries with national excise duties on alcohol like Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands, consumers (private customers) have to organize shipping themselves due to EU tax laws. After you have placed your order, we will provide all necessary information and recommended links to organize shipping by e-mail - it is quite easy and only takes a few minutes! As this is effectively a pickup at our facility in Germany, we will only charge you the usually lower German VAT of 19%. Any additional excise taxes on alcohol in the country of destination are the recipient's sole responsibility.

Business customers within the EU

Within the European Union, we deliver to business customers with a valid EU tax ID / VAT number as tax-free intracommunity shipment without charging German VAT. Declaration and payment of local taxes and duties in the country of destination is the recipient's sole responsibility.

^*3 Export outside the EU - Taxes and Customs Duties

We deliver your order tax-free to a number of countries outside the European Union, currently Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, United Kingdom and Iceland as well as Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. In case your country outside the EU is not listed, please feel free to contact us and we will look into it.
Depending on country of destination and order volume/value you might incur additional fees, sales and excise taxes as well as customs duties which are the recipient's responsibility. All required customs documents will be included in the shipment, customs declaration will be handled by our shipping partner (DHL, UPS or FedEx depending in the country of destination) for you. You will receive an invoice for the payment required to clear customs.
We will also refund the German VAT if you export your purchase yourself (i.e. to Switzerland or at the airport) minus a 10 € processing fee per case. Please have customs confirm the export of the goods by stamping our invoice accordingly and return the original stamped invoice document to us by regular mail (unfortunately a scan/photo by e-mail is not sufficient). We will refund the VAT paid using the originally used method of payment if possible, please provide an alternate bank account otherwise.
