International regulations and restrictions
Customs and import regulations vary widely between countries. Some of the products we sell via this website are prohibited for importation into certain countries. Unfortunately, it's not possible for us to be aware of all of the regulations specific to any given country. Where we are aware of any particular import restrictions, we endeavour to make note of this on the product detail page. It's your responsibility to ensure that any goods you order are not prohibited/restricted within your delivery country.
Absolute Essential Ltd accepts no liability for the refund/replacement of any goods or any costs relating to, or arising from, the importation or confiscation of any goods by your country’s Customs Office or other government body. Likewise, any import duty or tax payable on your order is not our responsibility.
If your order is returned to us due to banned/restricted product regulations, an incorrect address or refusal to pay fees, we will issue you a refund for products that are returned to us in resalable condition. You will be responsible for any return shipping charges and for any additional custom fees for your returned package. Those charges will be deducted from your order total and the remaining balance is the amount that will be refunded. The best way to way to avoid this issue is to carefully check local regulations before ordering.
