International Orders - Customs, Duties & Taxes
If you're placing an order for delivery outside the UK, your shipment may be subject to import taxes, customs duties or other charges when it arrives in your destination country.
These charges are determined by your local customs authorities and are not included in the prices or delivery costs shown at checkout. Any applicable fees must be paid by the recipient before the order can be delivered.
Please note that customs clearance procedures vary by country and may occasionally result in delays. LCFC is unable to control these processes or accept responsibility for any additional charges or delays caused by customs authorities.
Important Information for EU Customers
What’s Changed?
From 1 July 2026, all orders shipped to countries within the European Union will be sent on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis. This means any applicable import VAT, customs duties, fees and charges will be payable by the recipient before delivery. In addition, the European Union will remove the current €150 duty-free threshold for imported goods, meaning all eligible shipments clearing customs from this date will also be subject to a new €3 customs fee.
How the new EU customs fee works
The €3 fee is charged per product type, not per parcel.
Example: Ordering two Home Shirts in different sizes (e.g. Medium and XL) counts as one product type, so the fee is €3.
Example: Ordering one Home Shirt and one Away Shirt counts as two product types, so the fee is €6.
The fee is in addition to any applicable import VAT, customs duties or other taxes.
No additional action is required from you. If applicable, the fee will be included as part of the existing customs and tax collection process managed by the courier.
The €3 customs fee is non-refundable. If you return your order, this specific customs charge cannot be refunded.
Important Information for US Customers
What’s Changed?
All orders shipped to the United States are sent on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis. Any applicable import duties, taxes and customs fees are payable by the recipient before delivery.
The US government has suspended the previous $800 duty-free exemption for commercial imports. As a result, all orders shipped to the United States via courier are now subject to standard customs clearance procedures, with applicable import duties and taxes regardless of the value of your order.
Import duties and local taxes are calculated by US Customs based on the products in your order, including items such as replica shirts, training wear, accessories and other merchandise.
How are US import duties calculated?
US Customs determines import duties based on:
The type of product being imported.
The materials used to manufacture the product.
The country where the item was manufactured (its country of origin).
Please note that import duties are not based on the country the parcel is shipped from.
Although all LCFC Online Store orders are dispatched from our warehouse in the UK, products are manufactured in a variety of countries. This means different items within the same order may be subject to different duty rates.
