How much are the duty and tax charges?

Orders shipped to the United States:

For orders shipped to the United States, all prices are shown on our website already include applicable import duties and taxes. at checkout, these amounts will be clearly shown, so you'll see a breakdown of the product price and the duties included in your total.

This means there will be no additional charges upon delivery, and your order will arrive without any customs-related delays. Please note that duties and taxes are non-refundable.

Orders outside of the US and below €950:

All orders below €950, as well as orders shipped to countries not eligible for free shipping, are shipped on a Delivered at Place (DAP) basis. Customs duties and taxes are not included in the item price or shipping cost. By placing an international order, you agree to pay any applicable customs, duties, or taxes imposed by your country.

BERNADETTE is unable to calculate these charges prior to your order being placed and cannot cover them on behalf of customers. Any applicable fees will be collected by the carrier upon delivery. If duties and taxes are not paid and the delivery is refused, customers will not be reimbursed for the order.

BERNADETTE cannot be held responsible for any costs related to delayed payment and bonded storage in the case the customer refuses to pay taxes and duties.

In the rare event that BERNADETTE is mistakenly invoiced directly for (additional) fees by the shipping company after delivery, we will email an invoice to the customer for the balance due.

Orders outside of the US and above €950:

All orders over €950 to eligible countries outside the European Union are shipped on a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) basis. This means that BERNADETTE covers and prepays the import duties and taxes. Customers will not be charged additional import duties or taxes for these orders.

Orders that are shipped DDP, must be ordered in the local currency of the shipping country provided at checkout. If an order was paid for in another currency than the currency of the residing country, the order will be shipped DAP, which means that BERNADETTE is not responsible for any duties or import taxes upon arrival of the parcel at the destination country.

Any import duties charged for parcels paid for in another currency than the currency of the residing country should be taken care of by the customer upon arrival of the order at the destination country.

What special requirements should I consider when shipping to the United States?

When purchasing goods from an overseas supplier, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) designates the recipient as the ultimate importer. CBP regulations require the ultimate importer to provide a valid identification number, which can be either a Federal Identification Number (EIN) issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or a Social Security Number (SSN) for individuals. This requirement applies to all shipments, regardless of whether they qualify as an informal entry (valued under 2500 USD) or a formal entry (valued over 2500 USD).

If the ultimate importer refuses to provide the required identification number, BERNADETTE is not responsible for any shippings-related costs, including shipping fees, customs handling fees, or storage costs if the parcel is held at customs. Any costs incurred will be deducted from the refund once the parcel is returned from customs.

This policy also applies to returns from the U.S. to BERNADETTE. If the customer refuses to provide the required identification number to US Customs, all costs related to the return shipment will be the customer's responsibility.

How do pre-orders work?

BERNADETTE offers customers the opportunity to pre-order selected pieces from the Baby BERNADETTE collection.

Each Baby BERNADETTE knit is made to order. Due to high demand, orders will be shipped approximately 8 weeks after the order date. Please note that delivery times may vary depending on the destination.

When placing a pre-order, 100% of the purchase price is charged at checkout.

Once your order is almost ready, our team will get in touch with you with an update on the expected shipping date. Should there be any unexpected delays, we will contact you with a revised shipping estimate.

If your order includes both pre-order and in-stock items, all pieces will be shipped together once the pre-order is ready.

All pre-orders will be shipped to the address provided at checkout.

As each Baby BERNADETTE knit is hand-knitted, slight variations in appearance, measurements and finishing may occur, making every piece unique.

Please note: Baby BERNADETTE knits are custom-made and therefore cannot be cancelled, returned or refunded for a change of mind.

For any questions regarding pre-orders or deposit terms, please contact us at sales@bernadetteantwerp.com.

The above shipping terms are effective on orders placed as of Friday 12 september, 2025.
