We ship from the UK.
If you order outside of the UK, you may be charged your local sales tax (if applicable) by the courier before delivery on behalf of customs. Bento Lab sometimes qualifies as a tax exempt item.
If you order inside the UK, you are charged VAT at checkout.
If you are a UK resident, VAT applies to all of our products.
Universities are often exempt, which means their services don’t have VAT, but they are also registered for VAT and typically their finance department will automatically reclaim the tax paid.
You can view the customs codes for all our products here: Bento Lab Customs Information
