US Shipping & Tariffs: 

For customers in the United States, US tariffs are handled separately by Ravensbury.

• We cover all applicable US import tariffs and related clearance fees - no extra charges on delivery.

 

• Typical US delivery time is 1–2 business days once dispatched. Shipping is

  free for all customers.

 

• This US tariff coverage applies only to shipments to US addresses and is separate from the general customs and duties guidance below.

*These are estimates only and delivery time can vary slightly

 

Customs and Duties (Other Destinations):

Payment of any customs, duties, fees or import taxes is the responsibility of the buyer, as are any return shipping costs. In many countries, import tax/duty does not apply when purchasing antiques aged over 100 years. We will therefore declare relevant items as “antique over 100 years old” with HS commodity code 9706900000.

Duties and taxes are determined by the customs agency of your home country and are based on the value of your order and the taxable threshold for the destination country. We are not able to determine these fees for you as they differ in each country. Your country’s customs website or local customs office will provide the relevant rates. Please let us know if you are contacted by customs requesting supporting documents.

 

Please note:

We are unable to redirect orders once items have been dispatched and deliveries will require a signature on delivery therefore it is not possible to deliver to a PO Box address.

We are unable to ship to the following places: Bangladesh (BD), Burma (MM), Central African Republic (CF), Comoros (KM), Cuba (CU), Equatorial Guinea (GQ), Falkland Islands (FK), Guinea Bissau (GW), India- IN), Iran (IR), North (North Korea) (NP), Pakistan (PK), Russia (RU), Sierra Leone (SL), Somalia (SO), Sri Lanka (LK), Sudan (SD), Tajikistan (TJ), Turkmenistan (TM), Ukraine (UK).
