Machines
All machine orders are shipped with FedEx and include duty and tax, which is calculated and added at checkout. There are two exceptions:
UK, Germany, France, Netherlands , Spain, Italy and Denmark: duty and tax is already included in all product prices, so there will be no further additions at checkout.
United States: we do not collect duty and tax at checkout because none is due on orders below $800. You will only need to pay tax if your total order value exceeds $800.

FedEx can ship to business addresses within the EU, but we may require additional information. Please ensure that you add your business EORI and VAT number at the checkout if your order is a business transaction.
If your order is for personal use, but it is being sent to a business address you do not need the EORI and VAT number. You will just need to add "FAO: YOUR NAME" in the company name field at the checkout.
Military Addresses
Orders shipped with FedEx cannot deliver to PO boxes. They can deliver to the front security gates of military bases, but are unable to enter. Unfortunately Royal Mail is unable to deliver to military addresses, particularly APO, DPO or FPO addresses.
Freight Forwarding
We are also unable to ship to freight forwarding companies or storage units. Orders placed with either of these address types will be cancelled. Orders suspected to be placed with the intention of resale will also be cancelled, with credit card fees deducted from the refund. Please see our terms and conditions for further information.
Country Specific Restrictions
General Information
We have successfully shipped 9Barista machines to dozens of countries. We’ve learned that some countries have some creative customs rules that can cause problems which we’ve noted below. However, every country has their own customs rules and regulations and we can’t keep track of them all – so please check that with your local customs agency before you place an order.
Personal Identification
Some countries will require some additional information to ensure your shipment passes through customs. Without it, customs will send the machine back to the UK, so please provide it at checkout. If not provided, we will have to request it from you as without it we won’t be able to process your order. These countries are as follows:
South Korea:Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC)
Spain:NIF
Turkey:TR ID number
Indonesia:NPWP number, or personal ID, driving license or passport number
Portugal: NIF
China
We can ship 9Barista machines to mainland China. However, if you wish to order more than one machine, please contact us first as Chinese customs do not allow the shipment of more than one ‘item’ to personal recipients in mainland China. We’d need to send each machine separately. This restriction does not currently apply to Hong Kong
