If you’re ordering for delivery to the EU, please order on Etsy:
Your order will be sent out by Cakes with Faces just the same, but you won’t receive a bill for customs charges and you’ll receive your parcel quicker.
Why?
Since 1st July 2021, you’re required to pay tax on orders delivered from outside the EU. All Cakes with Faces orders are sent from the UK.
If you order via Etsy, the taxes are included at checkout and you’ll receive your order smoothly (for orders under 150 Euros).
If you order on cakeswithfaces.co.uk, taxes are not collected when you checkout. You’ll receive a bill from customs before your items are delivered, which takes longer and may include additional customs charges. These are beyond our control, and Cakes with Faces does not receive any part of the taxes or customs fees. It’s strongly recommended to order on Etsy to avoid paying extra.
This only applies to orders delivered to EU countries.
Update 1st July 2026
From 1st July 2026, there’s a 3 Euro customs duty on each product type in your order (eg t-shirts, books, etc). At this point it’s unclear exactly how this will work. You may receive a customs bill for this new charge – at this point Etsy haven’t confirmed if they’ll be handling it at checkout.
