Sahara operates on a DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid) basis. If your order is being delivered outside of the European Union, local import duty and local taxes may be applicable. Such import duties may impose a delay in your goods clearing customs, of which Sahara has no control. Sahara is not financially responsible for any local import duties and taxes imposed on your goods.
Any local duty/taxes/customs fees imposed are payable locally by the purchaser. The purchaser is responsible for providing any information required by Customs & Excise to ensure the goods are cleared.
Please note Sahara is unable to refund any duty paid on items returned to us either due to fault or unsuitability as this is a contract between the purchaser and their own countries Custom & Excise. If you are unsure of whether to expect to pay duty on goods shipped to your country from the UK, please contact your local Customs & Excise office who will be able to advise you further.
