Shipping to Europe
Orientica Perfumes are delighted to announce EU Deliveries are now available to Europe with prepaid Customs Clearance fees which covers the charges introduced following the departure of the UK from the European Union. The following shipping charges start from, and may vary dependent on weight.
Why have prices changed for European orders?
We have simplified shipping to the EU to include the Customs Clearance fees in your purchase to avoid unnecessary delays and request for fees before your parcel is delivered.
CUSTOMS CLEARANCE EXPLAINED
What does custom clearance mean?
All goods shipped from the UK to EU destinations are subject to Customs Clearance charges which do not include your shipping fees which will be calculated at checkout.
How long does customs clearance take?
Typically, customs clearance can be up to 24 hours. All paperwork will be taken care of in-house by us which ensures your order will be delivered direct to your door without unnecessary delays which are associated with Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) which would involve customs duties being paid by the customer before it is released by customs for delivery resulting in delays.
Why we include Customs Clearance in our prices?
Following the UK’s departure from the EU, shipping products to EU destinations (Distance Selling) has resulted in new EU VAT and customs rules. When placing an order for shipping to the EU, VAT, Customs Duties and customs clearance fees based on your location may apply and are payable before delivery.
All our products are now customs cleared. What this means is Orientica Perfumes will cover all import duties and taxes, and customs clearance for orders shipped to EU destinations. Inclusive customs duties mean shopping with Orientica, has never been easier.
To place an order for delivery into the EU from the UK, you will need to accept our terms and conditions before proceeding to checkout. If you have any questions regarding your order, please email us at sales@orientica.co.uk

We are now certified to ship Orientica perfumes to more international destinations including US, South America, Canada, Asia, Australia and New Zealand to name but a few. Previously orders containing spray products were not eligible for shipping as spray products are classed as ‘Dangerous Goods’, however we’ve made shopping for your favourite perfumes from Orientica easier as we are now able to deliver worldwide.
What are dangerous goods?
Perfumes are not dangerous for you, but when shipping via air can pose a hazard if it is not packaged or handled properly for air transportation. Spray perfumes in particular, ordinarily contain flammable solvents, which are necessary in order to give the perfume an atomising effect, and which cause the perfume to evaporate faster, thus giving the fragrance great sillage and projection. The I.A.T.A (International Air Transport Association) classifies these as “UN1266: Perfumery Products with Flammable Solvents”.
As a result, they require highly specialised packaging and handling by trained and qualified personnel when they are shipped by air, which is the fastest way to get your perfumes delivered to you from abroad. The handling and packaging process is more costly and results in a handling fee when shipping globally. Orientica Perfumes, now have a trained and fully certified IATA Dangerous Goods Shipper.
How much will it cost to ship to your destination?
Orientica Perfumes have been at the forefront of offering customers the best quality fragranced products, while being as transparent as possible about the costs.
Due to strict regulations on transportation of spray goods by air, we aim to clarify the costs associated with shipping international orders before you place your order.
Shipping cost will be calculated at checkout. (Due to exchange rate fluctuations, shipping cost may vary for costs shown above) Dangerous Goods fee is included for shipping to international countries outside the EU.
For orders to Brazil please provide your CPF (ID no.) also known RG, which is needed for customs purposes. Please provide this information in the notes section of your order before checkout.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not cover customs clearance services, therefore customers would need to pay any applicable duties and taxes for their order so that the goods can be released in the above countries.
