The good news is, many countries make disability products like the LapStacker^® exempt from import duty, and local taxes vary greatly.

Below are some examples of tax situations in various markets. Please note, we do not accept responsibility for the accuracy of this information and recommend you do your own homework.

United States

No import duty on the LapStacker^®

There is a US$800 order value tax threshold, which means that most Adaptdefy parcels will skip in under the radar. Wahoo!

Canada

There should be no import duty on the LapStacker^® but we cannot guarantee what customs will do on the day. Sorry.

As for local and federal sales tax this is a good place to look at the rates. https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/import/postal-postale/dtytx-drttx-eng.html

United Kingdom

No import duty on the LapStacker^®

20% VAT is payable unless you are eligible for ‘zero rated VAT’

The product prices displayed on our website do not include VAT as many of our customers are either eligible for ‘zero rated VAT’ or live outside of the UK & EU. If you are eligible for zero rated VAT please enter your name and a qualifying reason in the box on the checkout page. It is your responsibility to check if you are eligible. If you have declared yourself eligible for ‘zero rated VAT’ HMRC advises that you keep a copy of your declaration. If you are not exempt from paying VAT, and live within the Uk & EU, VAT will be automatically added at the check-out stage.

The VAT exemption criteria are detailed at the top of the checkout page.

Australia

No import duty on the LapStacker^®

Adaptdefy Limited currently sits below the threshold for GST registration, therefore Australian customers will not be charged GST while this is still the case.
