Ordering Your Dream Dress from Laima Bridal

We are delighted to ship our designer wedding dresses from the United Kingdom to brides across the United States.

To ensure a smooth and transparent shopping experience, please read the information below regarding international shipping, customs duties, taxes, and import fees.

Do I Pay UK VAT?

No. Orders shipped to the United States are exported from the United Kingdom and are supplied without UK VAT (Value Added Tax).

Will I Need to Pay Import Duties or Taxes?

Most likely. As the importer of the goods, you may be required to pay customs duties, import taxes, state taxes, or courier processing fees before your order can be delivered.

These charges are determined by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and may vary depending on:

  • The value of the order.

  • The fabric composition of the dress.

  • The destination state.

  • Current U.S. customs regulations.

  • The courier handling the shipment.

How Much Will Customs Charges Be?

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the exact amount of any customs duties or taxes before shipment.

Import charges vary and are assessed by U.S. authorities and courier companies.

As a guide, brides should allow for potential additional import charges when purchasing internationally.

Who Pays Customs Charges?

The purchaser is responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, or other charges required by U.S. Customs or the delivery carrier.

These fees are not included in the dress price unless specifically agreed in writing.

Shipping Carriers

We use trusted international courier services including:

  • UPS.

  • DHL.

  • Other fully tracked international delivery partners when appropriate.
