USA and EU Customs Duty
BERK - The Customs Advantage™
At Berk, we understand that true luxury transcends borders; but borders still matter. That is why we created The Customs Advantage™, a discreet, intelligent approach to global delivery and in response to questions about shipments to the USA:
-
Split DHL Delivery: We will split large orders into multiple, customs-compliant shipments to minimise exposure to duties where thresholds allow at no extra cost. US de minimus is $800 so no duties apply for purchases under that ammount.
-
Pre-Cleared DHL Protocol: For our European and International clients we offer private brokerage i.e. advance coordination via phone, text or email with our customs agent to give you seamless delivery.
-
Tariff-Back Guarantee: If you are unexpectedly charged duties on a qualifying order*, we will issue a courtesy credit; no forms, no friction.
-
Transparent Regional Pricing: We do not inflate prices based on your country. Every region is priced with clarity, not opportunism.
-
Fixed Prices: We pledge that we will not increase or reduce our prices for the period to November 2025 not withstanding the changes in customs duty and tariffs.
Sales to the European Union are VAT Free and Duty Free at the point of sale.
In other news, now that Britain's Exit from the European Union (BREXIT) has been fully implemented all European Union (EU) sales are VAT FREE. For the avoidance of any doubt Berk Cashmere Ltd will not charge Value Added Tax (VAT) to any customer in the European Union. This is a saving of 20%
Please Note: Neither will we levy any Customs Duty but your local customs office may collect duty at the point of delivery.
This means that the majority of Berk cashmere sweaters, shoes and accessories are exempt from any Customs Duty.
