🇬🇧 UK Shipping Guide – Heiwa Slipper

Ships from Tokyo via DHL Express ✈️ (3–5 business days to UK)
VAT & duties (20% + DHL fee) are collected online by DHL before delivery via secure SMS/email link.

💡 Quick tip for UK customers

UK VAT (20%) applies to all imports from Japan. With orders placed on our website (DAP), DHL collects VAT before delivery and adds a handling fee (typically £11–£20). If you purchase on Etsy, VAT is charged at checkout by Etsy → no DHL handling fee. For 1 pair, Etsy can be cheaper; for 2+ pairs, our store is often better (free shipping/discounts).

🛍 Buy on Etsy (VAT at checkout) 🛒 Shop on our store

Note: Etsy prices may be slightly higher due to marketplace fees.
