Tax-Free Shopping at Costume Limité

What Is Tax-Free Shopping and How Does It Work?

At Costume Limité, we believe in offering luxury without limits — and that includes tax-free shopping for customers outside the European Union. If you're shopping from the US, UK, Switzerland, Asia, the Middle East, or anywhere outside the EU, you can enjoy our carefully curated designer collections without paying the standard 21% VAT (Value Added Tax).

Here’s how it works: because we are based in the Netherlands (an EU country), European VAT only applies to customers within the EU. If your shipping address is outside the EU, you’re automatically eligible for tax-free shopping — no forms or paperwork needed.

What Prices Are Shown on the Website?

To ensure complete transparency, our website displays product prices including VAT by default. However:

On every product page, you’ll also see the price excluding VAT, clearly listed just below the main price.
When you head to checkout and input a non-EU shipping address, VAT is automatically removed from your total.
This means you always know exactly what you're paying — no surprises, no hidden fees.

How Does Checkout Work for Tax-Free Orders?

Shopping tax-free at Costume Limité is effortless. Here's a step-by-step:

Browse and select your favorite luxury pieces — suits, outerwear, sportcoats, or accessories.
Head to checkout and enter your shipping address.
If you're outside the European Union, the 21% VAT is automatically deducted from your order.
Pay securely and enjoy worldwide express delivery straight to your door.

Please note: You may be responsible for customs duties or import taxes charged by your local government. These vary by country and are not charged by Costume Limité.

What about import duties?

At Costume Limité, all international (outside EU) orders are shipped tax-free. Please note, however, that any import duties, VAT, or additional customs charges are determined by your local authorities. These costs, if applicable, are the sole responsibility of the customer.

We recommend checking the import rules in your country to understand whether, and how much, import duty may apply before placing your order. This way, you can enjoy a seamless shopping experience with full clarity.

Please Note:

Customs may impose fees and/or taxes on your purchase prior to delivery

We are not responsible for any customs fees or taxes and they are not included in our shipping fees
These charges are usually collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up - these are not additional shipping charges
