Shipping Origin

All orders are dispatched from Northern Ireland.

This location is part of the United Kingdom and operates under specific trade arrangements with both the UK and European Union. 

As a result, customs treatment may vary depending on the destination country.

Tracking

Where tracking is available, you will receive tracking details via email once your order has shipped.
Please allow a short period after dispatch for tracking information to update in the carrier's system.

Customs, Duties and Taxes

We aim to be transparent about international shipping costs and potential import charges.

United Kingdom

Orders shipped within Northern Ireland and generally within the United Kingdom do not incur additional customs duties upon delivery.

Applicable taxes are handled in accordance with UK regulations. All orders shipped within the united Kingdom are inclusive of VAT. There are no additionalcustoms charges, or hidden fees for UK deliveries. The price you see at checkout, is the final price you pay.

Republic of Ireland

Orders sent to the Republic of Ireland may be subject to local VAT treatment depending on how the order is processed and applicable cross-border rules at the time of sale.Where taxes are not collected at checkout, the customer may be responsible for import VAT or related charges required by Irish authorities or the delivery courier before delivery.

European Union

Orders shipped to EU countries may be subject to import VAT, customs duties, clearance fees, or handling charges, depending on the destination country and order value.These charges are determined by local customs authorities and are not always included in the checkout total unless explicitly stated.
If such charges apply, they are the responsibility of the customer.

United States

Previously orders shipped to the United States, there was generally no import duty on orders under $800.

US import regulations changed during 2025–2026, including changes affecting the previous USD $800 de minimis threshold that historically allowed many lower-value shipments to enter the United States without import duties.

As a result, some international shipments — including watches and related goods — may now be subject to import duties, tariffs, taxes, customs processing charges, or courier handling fees depending on current US regulations and customs assessment procedures at the time of import.

RÁTH Watches remains committed to providing a smooth experience for our US customers.

For eligible US orders, RÁTH Watches will cover applicable import tariffs and customs duties charged on delivery wherever possible, helping ensure there are no unexpected import costs for our loyal US customers.

What You pay at checkout is generally the final cost.

If any exceptional customs issue arises, our team will work directly with the customer and shipping carrier to resolve the matter promptly.
